Anything requiring advanced cooperation, especially from the gov, is doomed to fail in China, the system has no check and balance, anyone is looking to monetize their authority, the stock market literally was set up coz SOEs needed to offlo

Her death did seem to draw quite some attention online, the growing feminist sentiment there maybe part of the reason, and maybe something to do with Trump.
