I'm gonna press X to doubt on Bloomberg quoting Xi. If true, then I'll say I agree not going down the "old ways" of economic planning. I'll say we go to the new ways of economic planning. We no longer need 1 million people in gosplan, we have computers and the internet. Supply chains could democratically and instantly respond to demand, we could enforce manufacturing standards of quality and of ecology abolishing planned obsolescence, we could democratically decide what goods we want to manufacture and what goods we want to leave aside to prioritize expenditure of resources and labor in other aspects... The possibilities of economic planning with modern technology are astonishing and I'm honestly hyped for it
