The principle does not have to be ethical or moral or consistent to a philosophy. What OP saying is china does the ability (and uses it) to make unpopular decisions both to Chinese corporations or people unlike other politicians who are beholden to either voters or corporations.

The kind of censure that Jack Ma had for example would be impossible to imagine to say Elon Musk in the US .

OP of the subject comment here: Yes, this is the correct interpretation. I wasn't trying to argue that China's principles are superior, let alone even ethical.

You can be both lawful and evil character, at the same time, as any D&D player will tell you.

Sadly, people misunderstand those two basic concepts.

Autocratic systems are better in some ways. For example, they can be very efficient. CCP says something and it is done. Is it good/right? It is completely different topic.
