Do the people who write these things ever work in the real world? Nobody is "exporting corruption." In some countries bribes are demanded if you want to do business. You can refuse and lose the business, or pay and factor the cost in. Either way, the corruption is on the part of the side demanding bribes. This is just a turn of phrase to show how "evil" wealthy countries are and how "helpless" poor countries are.

Some countries do business with no conscience - they don't care where the money goes, whether to warlords who use it to buy more weapons, or corrupt officials who enslave their people to work for peanuts, etc.
Feeding this racket is akin to paying ransom
