Besides the problematic developed vs undeveloped labelling, most rich countries exploit cheap labor and production I. The closest or most convenient “poorer” nation.
Europe has used the Balkans and eastern countries that was since the iron curtain came down (and before that really). Russia too.
France and England used Africa similarly. (Edit: and most of the rest of western Europe actually).
The US and China both got rich doing it internally, but then moved on to cheaper labor or new resources when domestic sources were used up.
I didn’t realize how large the Balkan drug trade was, thank you for that information. It seems the proliferation of illegal drugs is a problem of similar scope in Europe as the U.S.
You sure about that?
