Okay, all right.
Any state control/oversight/regulation of industries, whether private or public, is antithetical to the most prominent right-wing economic models based on monetarism.
Thatcher and Reagan adopted that model, which is the opposite of what Presidents Park and Chun followed with their more Soviet-style centrally planned economy. It went beyond providing subsidies and involved planning and finance ministries dictating production and expansion plans to the private sector.
So, yeah, that's part and parcel of running an economy, and that's not right-wing economics. Further, the most prominent macro-economic model followed by both the right and the left today (in most successful nations) is Keynesian, and all Keynesian models go against the free-market decision-making that the "rightists" preach about.
As always, for anyone wishing to delve a bit deeper than "leftists bad", refer to Chapters 19 and 24 of "The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money", by John Keynes. For anyone wishing a summarized version, go through the following link:
And more regulations, more state control over industrial decisions and more state intervention in the money markets is the primary distinguishing feature between modern, mainstream "leftist" and "rightist" economics.
The leftists killed it, what was stopping the "rightists" from resurrecting it? The right-wing (the Republicans) held power in the US for 32 out of the 51 years since Kennedy's death. Why didn't they bring it back instead of crying about it?
Fine, for 2016 numbers from the CIA Factbook, obesity rates were 6.2% in China, 4.7% in South Korea and 4.3% in Japan. For more recent 2022 numbers, as per worldobesity.org (different org, so different methodology), obesity rates were 8.37% in China, 7.24% in South Korea and 5.57% in Japan.
These variations are more statistical discrepancies than indicators of ideological alignments deciding obesity rates, not to mention the vast difference in population levels, wealth/income levels, healthcare access, income inequality, etc. between Japan/South Korea and China, despite genetic similarities.
If one were to ignore every other variable and go by something so astoundingly reductive, one might as well argue this:
All 10 out of the 10 most obese states in the United States are solidly right-wing, and Republican (in order: West Virginia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Oklahoma, Indiana, Iowa, Tennessee, Nebraska).
And 9 out of the 10 least obese states are liberal, leftist, and Democratic (in order: DC, Colorado, Hawaii, Massachusetts, California, New York, Vermont, New Jersey, Connecticut). And the 10th is Florida.
So yeah, lets ignore all variables, and hail reductive logic: leftist state governments are better at controlling obesity than their rightist counterparts.
You either support state oversight or control of industries, or you don't.

Whatever they did was counter to monetarism, free market economics that forms the bedrock of "rightist" economic arguments today.

Ah, unrelated thread but that explains the essential stagnation in India's education budget since 2019. No better way to take care of the foundation of the country than to freeze budgets (or in the case of higher education, actually slash budgets for the best institutes you have). Right, sure.
Again, where's the accountability??

Yeah, which is why the Red Army was the biggest threat to all governments in Western Europe for 4 decades. It sure as hell wasn't a successful right-wing government.
Again, with the random snippets.

And India is straining to maintain 6-6.5% y-o-y compared to China's 9-10% in the mid-2000s.
That's not getting reflected in the capital crunch, falling deposit levels, and nosediving foreign investments for some reason.
