    China has a long past so they know a bit more than others about proceeding into the future. The newer nations are just trying to sell shit for cash. That’s about as far as it goes.

              Yes, the CPC is overwhelmingly proletarian, policy is driven by mass consensus building, and capitalists are barred from forming a cohesive political bloc that can oppose the system.
