It is a pretty bad deal for Western workers that our economies have deindustrialized. But that's not China's fault, that's our ruling classes' fault.

Deindustrialization itself isn't really bad. It's a neutral thing.

Yeah, kind of, but under a capitalist system where workers can't reap the benefits of automation and much labor is still performed in the imperial periphery it is negative.
