That said, some of our countries might be in a slippery slope towards a similar situation (I mean nearly non-payed labor or debt slavery already exist in some countries).
South Korea is an American vassal state. South Korea’s military is fully under the control of the US military. I know of no other purportedly sovereign country with such a setup.
They were bombed to shit by the US whose military is still occupying them to this day…
of course the state that did that and wants to maintain any veneer of democracy would twist itself in knots to convince you that it was the right thing to do.
I guess the rest of Asia and Europe don’t count?
China does have a superb high-speed rail network, you gotta give them that

South Korea is a democracy and North Korea is an authoritarian dictatorship.
You’re tankie scum if you think the North is better.

The North is an authoritarian dictatorship that sends defectors families to labor camps.
If you think that’s better than the South then you have problems.
