> Why has China been so successful despite what is widely believed to be a failed premise?
They're successful as an economy, not as a society (obv, using my metrics.)
- endisneigh 5y agoBy which criteria are they not successful as a society?
- xbar 5y agoThe ones that measure the success of a society. WEF's Global Competitiveness Report and Amnesty International, for example.
- cblconfederate 5y ago> successful as an economy, not as a society You 're going to have to give a definition of that. Subjective measures of success don't matter, that's why people have different morals. Maybe the west has produced the most "culturally dominant society" but it has also been boosted by a few centuries of economic dominance, while china has just come out of poverty. I'm not even going to ask why china is considered unsuccessful as a society since afaik the chinese neither commit suicide in droves nor are they running to exit as fast as possible.
