how do you come to conclusion that Chinese leadership is not a narrow circle of delusional madmen? As far as I know there is not much difference, the leadership executing fellow politicians when they find out about their hidden black money, without giving 10% to their fellow cleptocrats. Secret services, censorship and media control is the same, even worse. No difference at all.
- Swenrekcah 5y agoI mostly base that on the observation that China has been more competently run than Russia, as far as I can tell. I'm not very familiar with Chineese leadership structure or any of the things you mention, and of course it is not a democracy. It's run by a narrow group of people and is heavy-handed. I'd never want to live there. It's just that I think that the narrow group, corrupt as it may be, is neither delusional nor desperate.
- rurban 5y agowell, they execute their opponents immediately. delusional a bit, but I only know a few anecdotes of high-profile arrogance paired with stupidity, which they eventually fixed internally.
