> No one ever explains how it's possible for China to simply give "massive state subsidies" and take over the entire global economy from a starting point of Haitian-level GDP per capita 25 years ago

The biggest purchaser of technology and goods and services is the US Government. It spends over $760 billion annually on products and services.

But if any other country does the same it would classify as "massive state subsidies".

I would take it a step further and say that the biggest employer in US is the US Federal Government.
