The reality is someone have pay for those beautiful infrastructure, not going to be the incumbents due to political arrangment, then it’s the vulnerable newcomers shouldering all of it. Just think about those terrifying condo prices.
I think it’s not just foreigers with unfavorable origins, in their speaking of ideology/regime/path confidence, anyone not subscribing and contributing to the greater good, foreigners or not, are not welcomed and supposed to stay and share the pie.
The regime has trumpeted the superiority of their political and governing system since the second month of covid-19, in
stark
contrast to the decadent and degenerate
west, daily
news started with data of how many more thousands died in the US.
That’s a good 2 whole years on
a
roll, no matter how illogical it seemed, it worked.
The CCP way is making you do thing out of your own volition so that they can always be the nice guy, they never banned US companies, they just made them extremely uncomfortable to operate so they quit themselves.
Amazon sellers are actually researching the market and designing new products, which
can't be said about domestic Chinese brands and sellers that are mired in cutthroat price dogfights.

From the party's view, although e-commerce helped in driving down consumer prices despite sky-high inequality and property speculation (much to the party's plan and advantage), he should remain manageble and of use.
The principle is simple for any entity (and a wild west capitalism stint too), when the party need you, you give them your best, and when they don't, according to their grand plan, you must sacrifice without a word.
Nothing is more important than the safety of the party and the ruling class.
