Ever occurred to the author of this article, or western young kid's mind set that, in a communist regime, they do not care about individual or groups hence "communism"? The welfare is not priority as long as they are still alive like livestock or very often sacrifice 50million people for the other 50 million people?

With this in your mindset, and stop writing these garbage articles about Beijing desperately need west. It is so weak to tell anyone that their "household" is crumbling. I can tell you if a high rise building collapse, their government will make sure media do not mention this and it will never happen in the first place. The owners will "eat" the loss. Chinese local government drowning in debt? You have to be joking to even mention it. Have you ever heard of a "poor" communist government officials? They also do not exist, because they are always drowning in wealth.

The author's immature young mindset need to realize that, we do not share the same "value" as communist. Do not impose what we have on them because we are fundamentally different. To be very honest, in a communist regime, having a "stock market" is a joke, private ownership is a joke, tariffs is a joke and Trump is a joke to them.
