Hm, my initial thought to this question was - is china producing so much of the worlds stuff that it affects extreme poverty - like making phones that allow an Indian farmer to better sell his fruits. Is there anything to this idea?

India has pulled around 30% of its population out of extreme poverty over the last 15 years so Betteridge’s law applies here.

the decline in poverty is directly connected to the most utterly simple technology,light to do things at night and there are still hundreds of millions who lack this solar,led's,batteries,phones,enable people to start selling the things they can now make a slight excess of,and in many cases those hand made goods, are instantly snapped up and yes, China is systematicaly pushing the most basic goods to the people who need and want it the most. China has "free trade zones" that have "hostels" where even the poorest traders can come and stay and make a business deal,ie: arive on a tramp frieghter with a fist full of cash,and head back to anywhere™ planet earth,with stuff to sell under estimate it, not

Unfortunately any lift out of poverty in China is relational to a decline in middle class wealth in the USA

The dollar stores no longer sell items for a dollar so the critical mass has shifted. People who work at Walmart no longer can afford the items at Walmart and dollar tree is dollar-twenty-five tree.

The Chinese need to get back to making things at a lower price point and their exports reflect this. If I’m going to pay good money I don’t want the product made in China or India.
