I think you don't know what some US corporations are doing in other

Providing a means for them to emerge.


I was talking about this emerge from the dictionary:
"to rise from an obscure or inferior position or condition"

So you assume that they are in an inferior position or condition
and that's part of the problem. And you must assume no matter
what the corporations to it's progress. But that's unfortunately
not true.


Inferior is a loaded word.

Emerging nations and developed nations trade. They trade what they can do
better for what others do better.

We raise wheat better and develop technology better, they provide cheap labor
better.

We can't buy jet engines from or electric generators from emerging nations
because they don't sell them. We buy cheap labor from them because that is
what, for now, they have to offer. The alternative is to not buy what they have
to sell and let them do without our wheat and technology.

That isn't helping them.
