The losers are inside the country, but a rising tide allegedly lifts all boats, and the drag of corruption on a quickly-growing economy still results in net growth. And when there's net growth, and a lot of it, the sore losers can be brushed aside.
The secret to a quickly-growing economy is government investment in infrastructure, grueling work hours in high-margin industries[1], and an export focus. And, if Korea[2], China, and Vietnam are any indicators, a brutal and repressive dictatorship can't hurt.
