As a union nurse (1199) I can assure you all that the travelers making lots of money is NOT the problem, and is only happening rn because for the first time in decades, it is an area where workers are so desperately needed, yet so scarce, that they can basically name their rate and have it honored. This is scaring the shit out of the people at the top, and they want to nip it in the bud before other peasants start to catch on

I wouldn't expect China to be arming left wing movements in the next 20 years, they probably won't ever do that. China is actually doing "socialism in one country", and it's worked fantastically. Imagine if the Soviets had actually been able to develop on their own, or if they could have given up that Trotsky/LeftCom-esque need to stoke the global movement and developed relationships with the "Non-Aligned movement" instead of trying to force other countries to follow Moscow.
