I'm not disagreeing, but corruption requires a corrupting company as well, and if we're going the moral route, bribing to get the upper hand on a captive population fits the "evil" definition.
Then again and again, western countries don't really need a more developed third world, and they won't bend over backward to create more competition for themselves. So supporting corrupt regimes has very few downsides from a G20 country for instance.
Banana republics are the most simple example of that, but it doesn't need to be that blatant.
