Proposal: 4 axis model for classifying regimes for analyzing / predicting them. Axis 1: Power holders - Single, Group, Mass Axis 2: Power openness - Hidden, Open Axis 3: Formality - Formal, Informal Axis 4: Ruling cohesion basis - Priest, Warrior, Merchant
Obviously the difference between whites and Chinese is important but the bigger difference is that the Chinese have a formal structure - now maybe they have a formal structure because of those differences but the structure itself changes the outcomes.

If you're getting paid a cut from a factory that you "own" as a CCP official you want the factory to still exist. If you're an American official you get a slice of holiness and power by destroying the factory and you can't collect a slice of the profits if you let it survive

This difference is due to the difference between Chinese and Americans. Chinese worship money, hence they develop a profit-driven system. Americans are white, the spiritual race and hence develop a spirituality-driven system.
