While material progress is very visible we cannot not ask the question what are you prepared to forego for it and for how long.Lets be a little fair here. The Chinese have done well this past decades and have improved their peoples living standards alot..However, they are just following their East Asian peers trajectory and trying to catchup. So it would have been an exception if all East Asian countries are wealthy, industrialised and developed meanwhile China is still poor and a peasant country. So it was a exception then not the norm, reason i believe China would have still develop with or without CCP ruling the country. If all Chinas East asian/sinosphere peers were poor and backward then i would have said yes CCP did something extraordinary, but its not the case. They were actually quite late to the party. Lol
Moreover, India is still far behind China in development, living standards etc to be honest..i have been to both countries so canvattest to that. So not sure about your point about laughing at their poverty rate.
Poverty , whether Chinese or Indian or American is no laughing matter .
The entirety of my reactions have been anger at those that laugh at poverty .
That and me aside, just like it has been important for India to understand that a transition from 10% mitigated socialism to 50% mitigated socialism is required for the next leg of progress , China is at the inflection point as well. They fully capitalised on Walmart order phase and vaulted into a much higher economic and technological tracks from there albeit suppressing human rights. But lately (xi’s last 5 years or so ), probably triggered by his legacy thoughts, they have made such big mistakes that one has to be in awe ! They actually fought against publushing true Covid data , didn’t give a damn about concentration camps, openly disappeared HK dissidents , stopped a solution to crazy NK, …all for what ? None of that helped China , it was just Xi ready to lose two eyes uf the enemy would lose one.
Centuries of Chinese wisdom down the drain with a decade of Xi ego
