And even if they did, for how long could they rely upon these countries as a market for their product with the resulting global destabilization due to the disappearance of the west. Would their courts abide by international law thus giving potential international business partners confidence. China seems perfectly content to ignore copyright law so long as she can get away with it and India is not to fussy regarding international law regarding child labour. What difference does it make if one pirates other peoples stuff and the other reintroduces the caste system? In the case of China there will be a world wide reluctance to produce anything of copyright value thus bringing about the end of creative thinking, while in the case of India a caste system will bring about an oligarchy incapable of original thought, the needs of the ruling families the prime driving force.
Both will survive for a while as technologically based countries but will then slowly decay, their societies, seeing no hope in the ant like existence, now prone to revolutions which will eventually cause the introduction of harsh dictatorship and a corresponding lack of production, the lack of western markets contributing to this.
The twentieth and twenty first centuries were built by westerners in order to fill their own systems specifications and are not transferable to other social systems.
