It s much like European socialism. They have been free riders on US military strength and capitalist innovation since the end of WWII. The Chinese strategy is much different, but if you've noticed, the gap between subsistence and first world service economy is shrinking from centuries to a few decades. That is because of the excess created by "first entrants". These countries are not developing in a vacuum.
