    Counterpoint to counterpoint: It’s looking good the same way as Post-WWII America or 80s Japanese.

    Disclaimer: I have only lived in one of the objects of analogy, but understood the languages of all three.

      This is literally what neocon cranks like George Friedman says about China lmao. China isn't taking the path the USSR did, but if they did that they'd have been crushed by now.

        I am sure Friedman didn’t compare China with Post WWII America, and by referring to 80s Japan, I didn’t mean it will crush immediately, but rather its achievements and that China have similar problems lies in its growth mode.

        Also, define what USSR mode means, wartime communism, NEP, Stalin mode, and all kinds of “economic reform” begin with Khrushchev are all USSR’s path. Simply saying “Mao’s path” is similarly ambitious.
