Very astute observations you have here and indeed it's impossible to argue these points. Well, one could but it's silly to take indefensible positions for the sake of being contrarion.

If you have Netflix and haven't watched "American Factory" I highly recommend it as it highlights the cultural and ethical differences between the east and west.

Having lived in SE Asia for over 4 years now I can clearly see a blending is most equitable but getting there won't be easy.
