China seems to be structured well for the use of such a system. It doesnt have term limits, so its Elite can make a long term plan about what their society wants to be decades ahead. So it can treat its citizens like poultry until those levels are achieved. Most of the "free world" doesn't make such teleological plans, democracies are rather short-sighted , hence why something like this hasn't been needed and probably won't, aside from cooperation in crime or tax evasion (things in which all governments, future and past, north and south agree on). The need for such projects would arise if there was an imminent threat -- and there isn't one yet.
What will happen however if automation takes over most of production and we reach abundance societies? The need for such systems even in an autocracy like China will be diminished. But then i guess there will be other manufactured ideals
