I always understood it to mean the "cost" is just more capitalist accumulation. "They could be enriching their/our bourgeoisie, but instead they do this?!"
So I gather from this answers that none of this news articles never articulate any concrete cost that they alleged? Because I know that anything they could say would be skin deep at most but never anything substantiated but I expected something, I'll try to track down some of this news and check
Yep. At best they could argue that these decisions come with opportunity costs - China could have made more profit by allocating its money elsewhere.
