You have it wrong. China is a dictatorship that its billionaires are trying to escape, less they get struck down by Xi jingping’s anti corruption drive
Yup I am sure China planned to be up to their eyeballs in debt, their money flooding out to Canada and Australia, and cultural revolution 2.0 underway.
> economic boom the greater good
> rarely civil unrest
Are you not on the internet? China is suffering from high debt load, declining exports, dictatorship, censorship, crashed stock market, capital control, housing inflation, capital outflow, protests in hong kong/tibet/northeast/xinjiang, etc.
There's alot of international people posting on hacker news, and alot of them have anti-US bias. They wish China would be the one that takes over US as the superpower of the world. for those people I have a comment
You like posting political views on the internet right? Imagine China is the sole superpower of the world that defeated the democracies of the world. You would be ranked, censored, monitored, caught, jailed, tortured, and killed.
