Give it time. Centrally commanded dictatorships always seem to hum along right to the point of sudden collapse.

Hmm, on the other hand you could argue that China has been a centrally commanded dictatorship in one form or another for over 2000 years

It has also collapsed several times in that span.

IMO current US leadership isn't too far from a 'centrally commanded dictatorship'.

Yes, China has many problems by their rise is exemplary. Especially in being the world's factory and having such a large export surplus. Their foray into dominating steel, high speed rail, solar panels, batteries, electronics e.t.c

They seem to be making good bets on the future, while US is holding on their bets from the last century.
