    China stands as a current authoritarian model which is being championed by people like Australian economist Steve Keen.

    If you can handle the ethnic genocide, the lack of due process, suppression of information and free speech, and no democracy, you can look forward to clean streets, low crime, and high economic growth. Some people believe that’s a worthy trade. I do not.

      Way to learn the exact wrong lesson from china.

      China does a lot of good and a lot of bad.

      We need to learn the pragmatism, government investment and holding private companies accountable part from them, not the censorship and surveillance.
