I think it is quite relevant. China is undergoing today what Japan went thru at Mao's time.
My guess is that CCP is going to be popular and safe at the realm as long as growth is strong (so maybe we agree there).
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoGrowth isn't going to always be strong. Economic cycles are inevitable, even if they manage to kick the can of a correction down the road today, it will just come back worse in the future. People in China can only express their discontent by rioting (which happens in China, a lot). They have no other real way of communicating with officials, they can't even make sneaky jokes on the internet anymore to express their dissatisfaction. That alone is a very dangerous situation.
