I don't see capitalism raising people out of poverty as bad. It's one of the greatest achievements of capitalism.

The way they implemented it is the problem, and clearly not everyone is happy about it as we see in Tiannemen square and, more recently, the way Chinese citizens developed a coded vocabulary to express their discontent.
