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.

White people are perfectly capable of building systems that function by motivating people to cooperate for profit and have done so in the past. Don't have to go too far in the past to see Chinese cooperating based on spiritual / holiness systems - look at the Cultural Revolution
