If that is true, why do countries spend money on development aid? Isn't that caring about what's right?
Or to take a more extreme example, why do we give a lifelong salary for nothing in return to people who are unable to work for the rest of their lives? Surely killing them would be more efficient.
I do think states should, can, and do care about right and wrong to a certain extent. That's the difference between us and governments like the Chinese.

1) so people from benefiting countries don't want to immigrate to the paying country (or to put it differently - aren't as motivated to leave because the differences are smaller)
2) so the paying country has somebody to sell their stuff to

Maybe to recruit most of the people who can question the exploitation of these places? like in Africa?
Why are there little aid to helping to develop economic corridors/systems but billions to treat diseases are mostly side effects of poverty that won't be issues if said places are not so poor
