The Western countries were dumb to open up their markets to Asian imports. To correct the imbalance and boost their local economies, managed trade must return. Then, prosperity will return to the West.
In Western countries, it's government policies like free trade allowing cheap imports from Asian countries that are dumb and wiping out their middle class.
The materialistic Asians on the other hand are even dumber spending their money buying Western brand luxury goods. Most Asian women buy luxury bags from LV, Gucci, Prada etc. Most average middle class Sinkie, Hongkee, Taiwanese, Mainland girls aspire to own a Western brand luxury handbag if they don't already own one.
Most average middle class Asian men aspire to own Rolex, Omega, Cartier watches if they don't already own one. They also aspire to own Western luxury cars like Ferrari, Lambo, Merc, BMW, Bentley, Aston Martin, Porsche etc.
This is how the money flows from the middle class people of the West to the dumb people of Asia, and then back to the West but only flowing to the rich people who are major shareholders of luxury goods and car companies. In the end, it's the rich who are smart enough to suck money out of the dumb and middle class people.
