Is China mixed One Party Centralized Government with Free Market Capitalism Better Then Ours?

[GHook20]

I know will get many trolls making troll remarks, but this is a legit question.

Our government can’t even accomplish the smallest tasks and our legislators are so deadlocked that the only thing that comes out of Washington is wasteful spending and crony capitalism. They look to appease the loudest woke moron, instead of making progress. Out Politicians are so easily bought, that the big business can get then to legislate out their competition. The system is broken and we all know it. Not just in Washington, but at state and local levels. There is not a big city in this country that is run well.

On the business front, our markets seem less free then ever. Starting a small business is harder than ever. Working hard used to be all you needed to do, but not so much now. Colleges and student loans are Ponzi scheme.

Then you have China… everyone knows about it’s atrocities, but their government actually gets things done… their economy is still the fastest growing in the world and their middle class is still rapidly expanding.

It is an important question to ask, is their mix of one party centralized government with a free market better then our Representative Republic with free markets?

No it isnt a legite argument because China doesnt have a free market. It is central controlled...Just like all the other Socialist countries who have failed. It is just a matter of time when China also will fail...

Authoritarian governments usually do get things done. And fast.
They have all through history. Look at everything Hitler "accomplished" in such a small time frame. There is no room for debate. Outrage. Trying to convince the populace. No need for budgets etc
Authoritarian governments are NEVER the answer.
the thing is, we should let the markets control our economy. NOT a bunch of corrupt dumbfucks in Congress.
We are a corporatocracy. We are NOT Capitalist.

It's only better for the people in power.

Which is why our governmental elites and their fellow travelers envy the Chinese leadership so much.

 

[jwoodie]

Yes. Our Representative Democracy has been so corrupted that a small group of people can impose their will against the wishes of the majority. China does what is best for China, which is supported by the vast majority of its people.

No one knows what the "vast majority" of Chinese people want because no one ever asks them, and they know better than to complain.

That may have been true in the past but its not true now

china has severe economic and social problems and only a very tiny percentage of chinese (fewer than in the west) are still advancing

Plus they have the gender imbalance to deal with.

Unfortunately for the world there is a simple way to deal with an excess population of males.....

A qualified NO.
China's leaders are chosen from the brightest in the country and have the power to make instant decisions based on logic. Political graft is possible but depending on the leaders, less likely. The riches of China have already reached down to hundreds of millions of the poor.

This is the major difference but it didn't ever have to be that way. Further explanation isn't necessary because all Americans are very aware of the corruption of politicians that are bought off by corporate lobbying.

Is a Democratic system practicing capitalism better.

A qualified YES.

They want what every other people want: a higher standard of living and international respect. Their government has delivered on both.

That's what the government says they have done, of course they have no one able to counter that.....

No.......The CCP under Ping is now cracking down again.....that is going to stifle technological improvements and wealth creation....right now they stole enough technology to damage large parts of the world, but in the long run, their socialist government is going to end their progress....

They also happened to buy every democrat party politician with their hand out....which is hurting our country too...

There are numerous economists who claim China's economy has already collapsed and we're just waiting for the fallout to hit. The central government has been trying to artificially deflate the property market bubble but believe Beijing will not be able to stop it as the damage is already done.

Here CNN talks about it but they're being conservative in their estimation of the situation.

China was already facing an economic slowdown in 2022. Now here comes Omicron

If only they can wreck themselves before they cause more damage to the world....

They crush creativity, and a small group of CCP thugs can only steal and create a strong military....those "brightest," are right now cracking down on the real achievers.....scaring everyone with an independent thought into silence.......you don't create great things by crushing those who create them...and that is exactly what the CCP is doing right now....they have enough stolen tech to make war around the world, but their internal policies are a disaster...

Unfortunately that could create and even worse scenario. Xi has been exerting more centralized control, in a way returning to the Maoist brand of Communism. The more threatened the central government perceives itself to be the more likely they will become more aggressive in their foreign policy, at least that's the way some see it.
