    'The triumph of liberal democracy appears a lot more contingent than it did three decades ago. The temptations to try something different are real,' writes David Runciman.https://on.wsj.com/2HtHWwK

        It make no sense how an ethnically homogenous country like China can outcompete America when they don’t have the great benefits of liberal democracy, millions of 3rd world immigrants, and multiculturalism and diversity, which is our greatest strength.

        China’s Challenge To Democracy essay in the @WSJ had the ‘potential’ to be an interesting analysis of China’s use of pragmatic authoritarianism until the author played the ‘race card’ in reference to the current President of the U.S. Objectivity lost at that point. Disappointed!

        Above all else, China remains resolutely an authoritarian dictatorship. The so called 1911 revolution has not changed anything. I do wonder how many of us, who have the good fortune of growing up in a Western democracy, would care to give it all up and immigrate to China.

        The CCP system is based on corruption, and has created the largest Ponzi scam in human history, but don’t worry, the Wall Street journal is backing it.

        Yeah, maybe, but if you have too much money and not much power in china, it can be very dangerous. The wish of the majority of Chinese people and the ccp’s system are contradictory.
