        China has been pulling wool over our eyes. They are no longer communist, just in name only. They are are more capitalist than us. It is not a dictatorship, 7 top guys make all the decisions. The figureheads are Xi and Li. Its political system is 100m member meritocratic dynasty.

        China's success is due to years of cheating the West with currency manipulation giving a perpetual trade advantage. The trillions earn are used for development but also an Hitler like military. With Xi removing term limits he is now officially dictator Xitler the aggressor

        Plus, China is a success for only 100 million Han Chinese. The other billion must be kept poor, enslaved and forbidden to move for this to work. People are jailed for different opinions. Foreigners are jail in retaliation for their criminal princess' arrest.

        Nonsense. The choice is very clear for Chinese people with money; most of them want to emigrate to liberal societies! When people from the US and Europe move in droves to China to enjoy the great living standards and clean air then let’s revisit the topic.

        The #CCP has been running China into the ground for decades until USA offered them WTO in the 90s. The reason why #China is successful now is because of access to world trade & the entrepreneurial spirit of the Chinese people & has nothing to do with the dictatorial CCP regime.

        A journalist once called Lee Kuan Yew a benevolent dictator!
