    wait hmm could you see xi jinpings authoritarianism as a /result/ of some deeper political or economic crisis in china? seems like you don't usually get more authoritarianism in good times, like just as a pattern (?)

        You *could* but what actions has he taken that have been out of line with what Chinese leaders just do anyways when they have sufficient state power to get away with it

        I think it's a result of USA. Zeihan wrote an excellent book: https://www.amazon.com/Accidental-Superpower-Generation-American-Preeminence/dp/1455583685 … My friends who read the book predicted Trump would win 2016; as extensions, the models in the book predicted isolationism / power centralization in all the countries following suit after US.

        Well, duh. How do you think you can control an organism like the National Congress of the CCP, except by having an authoritarian in the committee drafting the resolutions that must be voted ?

        Look at the structures of power, and you can get a pretty good idea of what sort of person will end up controlling them.

        so almost like they're a massive industrial plantation set up to give value to foreign capital and the whole thing relies on an iron have combined with constant returns, so as long as the west runs on its current path there's no hope?

        We now consider the "economic liberalization leads to political liberalization" thesis to be disproven, but what if it wasn't? What if the only way to reap the benefits of economic liberalization without threatening political liberalization was to crack down hard? Xi saved CCP

        xi is obsessed with the collapse of the soviet union, it's a subject he brings up many times in speeches and writing. he thinks the soviet union collapsed because they lost an "ideological war" and that uncensored speech could lead to the collapse of the party.
