All of this, as far as I can tell, being part of an economic strategy on the part of China to accelerate its own development on its own terms. It may, perhaps, also be part of a geopolitical strategy, but I am less convinced of this.

Contrary to the misconceptions of free-market purists, capitalism and democracy not only do not require one another, they are actually incompatible. It is because America is a democracy that our economy is no longer purely capitalist. And China has shown that capitalism in all its oppressive ugliness is perfectly compatible with a police-state government.

You definitely have not been to the old parts of the cities, nor have you ever been to the rural areas where the poor peasants live.
You have seen western expensive cars, btw financed to the last yuan and more than likely repossessed after one year.

Favorite drink for the young is coffee . Slogan: "I´m young, I´m coffee"
Goes at $ 7.50 a cup
Tea is 20 cent a can, bould only old folk drink it.
If the young ever do they order fancy and highly expensive tea specialities.

Re:
Confucianism:
It is the first showing of pure capitalism.
Nothing to do with Bhuddism, which you probably meant to quote.

I invite you to come to China with me. I will show you, what you have not seen or have turned a blind eye to.

That is, if you are not chinese yourself !!
The way you write I have reason to assume you are chinese.

So please, stop pretending, all is well and get to work to MAKE IT WELL.

BTW your kind of writing reminds me of Lee-Lee. Doing penitance ?
