"The difference is the extensive legal framework protecting Western citizens and companies from state security overreach."
Unfortunately, China is winning in the rest of the world for the same reason. While western citizens and companies are well protected, the West has intentionally kept the rest of the world vulnerable for self dirty interest. We have seen the Western hypocrisy in policies and moral codes destroying societies for decades all over the world. If the Western code of conducts for the rest of the world were hypocrisy free, Chinese slithering would have been impossible, and the world would be a lot better than it is now.

Developing countries may have significantly less quality of life in general, but there have always been a class of people enjoying life no less than anyone in the "first world", probably more. Simply put developing countries also need amazon, paypal, EV as they develop and adaption of long existing technology is more important than innovation there. So, entrepreneurs from technologically advance (and competitive) countries have even more opportunities to play bigger roles and create significant impact in a society.
From my history of long time loneliness, I have learned to cope with it by observing things that bring me out of my comfort zone in positive way. I found the following activities helping me-
1. Attending (and pushing myself to mingle) conference or workshop on topics of my interest and expertise.
2. Spend some time at the park or places where relaxed people are around you.
3. Learning wu shu or Tai chi from a good master. It not only helps to widen your physical capabilities, but also you get to interact with other people.
4.Challenge yourself with activities that you are able to fulfill, and enjoy. Volunteering for non-profit organization, hiking in the mountain, learning a new sports, even walking slowly, aimlessly in the market/mall helped me feel myself.
