The rise of China is democratizing access to technology. My home government, supposedly a longtime partner of the US even doing its dirty work in Yemen, has struggled for years to get any tech transfer deal with the US, too many hoops to jump through. But were able to get many tech transfers from China recently. It was a major win and that technology includes solar panel manufacturing.
Democracy and technology? You're thinking of Taiwan.
Which is a part of China according to even the US
Taiwan is an independent and democratic country, unlike the totalitarian and pseudo-communist state that is China.
