>>23817384>>23817392>>23817399in order:
foreign sm specifically, domestic sm is heavily censored and policed... also the society is essentially lawless depending on wealth/connections
yes, but it is shifting to india and se asia; as advanced as allowed by sanctions slash danield's whims and value of received bribes... but mostly the appeal is cheap (though, see: automation)
it ain't invincible and any advantage other than sheer geography is subject to wanning [snarky sea-level rise hoax jk nothoax quip]... the acceptance of anti-intellectualism and xenophobia (the opposites of which actually are much the reason for it's hegemony) is. fucking. depressing. ugh, or recessing.
