Well young Europe has missed the era when the East Asia was expansionist.
Also, being expansionist means it's profitable to go to undeveloped areas, and indicates a relative sorry state of development in the home country.
China has CPU made at home. They are just not as commercially profitable as Intel ones and that's why you don't see them in PCs en mass.
There have been discussions of a counter-ban on any embargoed item for twice of duration, so cheap foreign product would not flood the market when China...
CCP the name has a hidden but valuable function: It carries a moralistic/ideological whip that a `meritocratic union' doesn't. This ensures a universal moralistic pressure to everyone that is involved, which would be pretty much non-existent in rival partisan politics.
Similar role as the royal...
Economic union is the pre-condition of further convergence in cultures.
Mainland China is practically a big size free-(trade+travel)-zone, plus centrally driven`trust' bestowed among various parts of the country that each work on different things and then collaborate and distribute as a whole...
National self-sustainability is one thing, but it is pretty hard to fathom any REAL potential conflict between China and Pakistan, even in the future. So good relation can be maintained at virtually a very low cost.

But China's bureaucratic tradition has a very strong self-consciousness and frowns up merchants and any stray of party/group based money...
And their culture will merge with the rest of China's, as every ethnic group did and is doing. While in the US "crucible" ethnic divide continues, maintains and flares as stuff inside a crucible usually do.
The racial and ethnic divide will be a major spell on the downfall of the US, if not the...

The focus is "them" enjoy the monopoly and they needs some good clean up to shed off their accumulated rusty inefficiencies. The state monopoly will still be there, be it the monopoly of one or two or three companies, that's detail and it doesn't matter. From the point view of the ultimate...
Enough of this venom.
No one dodges the “Reform&Open” bullet, it is now turn for the fat oil cadres. These guys have been enjoying their monopoly for way too long.
