Quite a lot of people in the West, particularly of the engineering sort, are open to the idea that China’s technocratic path is superior in an NRx type way. However, these people also tend to believe that the technocrats of the EU are the same as China’s technocrats. Wrong.

Do NRx people actually think that about EU technocrats? I assumed most could easily see them as the isomorphic equivalent of the present US coastal elites (most if not all NRx writers I’ve read are American).

To clarify, I’m not talking about actual NRx people. I’m talking about engineering-type people I’ve known who, years before NRx was “a thing”, said things like, “We should be run by engineers like China.” These people also, in my experience, tend to be pro-EU out of confusion.

Actual NRx people would see the EU as the opposite of a true technocracy. It’s a sort of sham technocracy that oversees anarcho-tyranny or bureaucratic misfunction.
