As a part of the diaspora, I agree with nitin-pai. Xi has all but destroyed China’s rise by killing Deng’s vision for China.

Besides, if you believe so much in the mainland and CCP, why did you leave?

In my opinion, if the mainland was a democracy, it would have probably overtaken the US by now in almost metric other than the military. Shenzhen would have also left Silicon Valley in the dust a long time ago. It’s too bad.
