China's system works only because the CCP controls and has enough support among the Chinese military to impose it's will. The CCP certainly isn't in charge because a majority of its citizens prefer the CCP, they simply have no choice. Where the CCP has been smart is with its dictatorships it's not left its citizens to starve and fend for themselves but tried to impose a system of productivity and even provide routes for those willing (to sell their soul to the CCP) to move up the social ladder and acquire wealth. It's like organized crime except that there are no citizens just employees of the crime family and its servants.
Nice, I enjoyed hearing from you via Video as well, I think the half article / half video is a good concept.

Can't see how the CCP think any of it will help.
I assume that they have so many people that the CCP has no empathy.
And probably don't care about the bad optics as they don't care what the West says because the West has lost any moral high ground.
