You said "...NO problem getting Chinese engineers to come in and fix up their oil generating facilities..or Russia..or France..or germany..or even the UK

So you establish, correctly, that the US is not the only world source of high tech goodies.

Then you said "...We could have chosen to bring them along into modernity..at a cautious pace, but our greedy capitalists..."

For that to be true, we would have to have been the ONLY suppliers of modern goodies to China. But you have already stated that we are not the only world suppliers. So if we are not the only world suppliers, then how could we have controlled the rate they modernized at?
