do not forget that the simple fact that China provides cheap and quality commodities is already a way of improving the people lives. really the only reason the countryside people in my country has access to stuff like mobile phones is because China makes them very accessible.
Mobile phones and telecoms from China has done lot to increase the income of the most impoverished people of the world. I remember a study from last year or two on this exact phenomenon, showing a clear correlation between introduction of Chinese telecoms to rural areas in the global south and real wage increase.
even just replacement parts for other stuff made in china is already an improvement to people's lives. Things that i used to buy for hundreds of USD i can now get from chinese manufacturers for fractions of the cost, leaving me with more money on the wallet to use on other stuff. Heck the other day i had to replace an alternator for a tractor, i got a chinese one for $150, and it works better than the Made in Europe expensive crap that came with the tractor lol.
