A lot of those predictions were correct. The experts said the Great Leap Forward would be an utter disaster, and it was. They said the more conventional industrialization that followed would be more successful, and it was. They said the Cultural Revolution would be a disaster, and it was. When Deng switched to the free market path, the experts said it would work, and it did. And now they are saying that Xi's new semi-Maoism is going to turn out bad, and sure enough, it seems it is.
But I bet you already knew all that.

They can now strategically threaten the oil imports for a whole bunch of SEA countries and are still growing as a military power. If the experts are correct, can they hurry up and be correct faster because I can't wait for a prediction that has no timeframe requirements.
