Whatever system China has. Seems to be steadily increasing the well being of their population. Is it sustainable is unknown.

Their strength to me is they can engage longer range planning with their political system and stay on track. We seem at least superficially to have no real plans. Not the best way to fly perhaps.

Of note to me is their industries are semi controlled. They would not be allowed to do something that is bad for China. The concept that the North American industrial base ever had any responsibility. Towards other than the corporations well being. Has in my opinion caused serious damage. Reducing the north American countries to primarily a consumer driven economy.

It might stagger many people if they knew what China has purchased basically in north American old companies. Many enterprises like IBM are 100 percent owned by the Chinese. I have been trying to decide if General Motors in north America is just a subsiduary of a larger car producer in China. The Chinese own quite a chunk of it.

By official decree or otherwise. The media do not seem to cover serious changes. As far as I am aware of. Never their conditions China engages when an industry from north America moves there.

The list is extensive and still growing. Media keep the sheep informed? Or do they just prop up illusions?
