Are those numbers from China?

Is there a reason to trust them if so, considering they would be coming from a brutal, authoritarian dictator?

I wouldn’t doubt that they are roughly accurate.

The question is is the growth worth the pound of flesh the CCP takes as its right in return for that growth and social stability?

Another fair question is could it not have been achieved through a more humane system of governance?

What is interesting to me is that these questions never arise of eg. South Korea.

You’ve just met with cognitive dissonance
