I agree it is amazing how well you can manage things when you can "reconcile" any worker complaints, very quickly. When those who are known to oppose or object to your plans are "reassigned" to a post in the Gobi.

And who of course would object when doing so would ding your "social credit" score and restrict your right to do things like travel, or access the internet.

I agree that single party states run very well, after all when you don't have to worry about pesky freedoms or rights it's amazing what you can accomplish.

Next up President Xi Jinping has a 99% approval rating. How does China produce such beloved politicians?

It baffles me how Americans can say, (paraphrasing), "on one hand it is illegal for Chinese journalists to report on public project failures, but on the other hand, I haven't heard of any public project failures."

That’s not what the parent comment said at all?

Americans know very well that their public sector fails to execute projects on time and on budget. They just don’t think the tradeoffs to convert to the Chinese system are worth it, nor are the benefits of the Chinese system exclusive to that system.

It was written to agree with the parent, not disagree. Yes, that does break from the normal comment thread cadence of agreement on odd layers and disagreement on even layers. ;)
