@dalfen@mstdn.social I think the core question is, is China on the developing to a highly-developed, mixed market economy path OR is the Chinese model fundamentally different (until the oligarchs can achieve state capture)? I'm leaning to the latter. China can out perform dumb markets/self interested oligarchs. The US gets dragged until it can find an FDR, and the oligarchies have spent 60 years preventing an FDR arising.
