Wasn’t a bad read. It’s full of drum beating about china being authoritarian and how they’re preventing “ordinary people” from changing the country (ordinary to Time Magazine means millionaires and billionaires), but aside from those two issues it essentially reads as a description anyone here would make of China’s reform and opening up being a clever trick that used capitalist power in socialist hands.
It’s basically the ML take on China except with anti-china framing to make it palatable for liberal ears.
It’s actually been very odd how many normies I’ve explained this to at work or whatever and the response been ‘ohhhh, that makes sense. Good for them, they really bamboozled these guys’
