> Unchecked corporate power is a phenomenal national liability.

I'm sure there are other dynamics at play but Xi has probably started seeing the same thing in China, hence the recent crackdown on said corporate power.

I never thought I would say this, but Xi is doing things I would if I had his power.

I'm just talking about slapping down billionaires, cracking down on gambling, making education equal to all kids, etc.

None of it is worth the loss of free speech.

I disagree; free speech is already showing its degradation in the west: it's only a matter of time before we're left with nothing.

I'm no fan of the CCP, but these policies I agree with.

The US is happy to relegate itself to a Russia-like plutocracy as China eats our lunch.
