That's interesting - because it begs the question, if income taxes are only contributing 8% to the coffer, where is the country's revenues mostly coming from?

I believe that's due to the entrepreneurship and hard work of the individuals in the country, and not of the political system itself. Congratulating the CCP for lifting the country out of poverty would be like thanking the US political
