I’m starting to suspect the Chinese way is worse than the Soviet way, and when it collapses, the fallout will be far worse. I’m guessing 2030-35. The pseudo capitalist economics creates a false sense of security.

Kinda easy to forget that Hong Kong transfer was 23 years ago, so it’s not exactly a rapid reeling in. An HK generation has grown up post UK withdrawal. Still it’s like 90% of the reeling in has happened in the last year. Slowly then suddenly.

The American system lasted about 150 years. The Soviet system about 70 years. The Chinese system will last perhaps 50. There are no permanent systems. Only permanent problems.

Yep, I’m close to writing off the American system too. It’s not a 2 systems world, it’s a 0 systems world. We’re starting from scratch. Send me bitcoin to fund my plan to engineer a fresh start. There will be mansions.

China's excessively large labour pool has shaped geopolitics for most of recorded history. It's more a civilization thing than a communism thing.
