Thanks for the reply and links. I will keep reading your content. And I appreciate that you’re in the Understanding China space which is far too sparsely populated.
Interesting subject. But the essay is confusing. I read it twice and still don’t understand the 8 “wether to do” or 4 “depending on” construction.
The essay has the feel of a CCP aligned Xi Jin Pin Thought propaganda piece written to gain the author’s brownie points. I am NOT anti Chinese, I’m an American struggling to understand the Chinese system.
I would like to believe China has an alternative, functioning democracy. This hasn’t convinced me. Maybe in the next installments it will. I am fully cognizant if the malfunctioning US system but so far, this article is a poor critique of Western manufactured consent.
I’ll keep reading... as long as it’s free. I’m up to $60 in monthly Substack fees, plus other vital news subs so no way I will pay.
