The China boom is clearly a separate moment. It happened in the 2000s and I'm talking about the period from the late 1980s to 1999. Manufacture exports were already stagnating before the commodity boom

Even during the Mao's era China carried out trade with the West.

No it wasn't. There were some minor dips and valleys but it was climbing, until Wall Street went full-out greedy parasite and shipped Western jobs to China.

But there's a sudden stagnation starting in the late 80s that couldn't be accounted by the gradual Chinese growth. Something abnormal happened in a very precise point in time and then it radically took a nose dive in the 2000s

A loss of purpose and cohesion.
In the pursuit of hording individual wealth and selling stuff for the cheapest possible we outsourced everything to others.
We turned our countries into economical regions and the bond of people was severed.
