#1 Any different in their belief in the 'Magic Money Tree' economics? Seems the Chinese may have some concept of economics, at least far better than the rest of the Left.

#2 Chinese seem to have an economic policy of keeping the chinese people poor...

#3 The chinese economic policy is so insider-enriching prole rent-seeking it would even make the dismal US federal reserve blush.

#4 Bath House Barry and his crowd are the magical thinkers, so everything anyone else does has that projected onto them.

#5 China's policies of enriching their domestic industries while protecting them from foreign competition has done wonders for the Chinese people. They are better off every day than the day before. China's infrastructure is improving all the time. They have a high-speed rail network that is cheap, reliable, and great for business or leisure. New bridges and subways are going in everywhere.

OTOH America's "ruin our working class to create wealth in hostile countries who hate us" plan is going gangbusters. Trump is doing his best but you simply can't undo the huge damage that's been done since NAFTA was passed.

#6 BP, in order to have crony capitalism, you still need capitalism.

#7 I'd say that the "best and brightest" whether in gummint or the management class, has done the bulk of the damage. And as they are a mutual admiration society they reinforce the damage each of them does.

#8 If the so-called best and brightest had to buy their way into places like Harvard then maybe they weren't the best and brightest after all.

Oh yes, but China is maximised for rent-seeking insiders, not the Chinese people. They may be better off, but they should be vastly better off.
