I grazed through this article today. She was a Marxist professor and is now a dissident. I'm so conflicted toward my feelings of the CCP so I was hoping some Chapos could give their impressions of the article.

Three things:
A) bureaucracy and corruption are likely close to truth, seems consistent at least with some stuff
B) cute concern for poor dissident (real estate tycoon), amazing really
C) always cute idea how private firms will stop corruption: they won’t stop, the law will just stop applying to them.
For C it makes sense. Being a language away from the west it coudl be hard for the author to see tbe corruption in the west and might underestimate it.
Since so much of our corruption is jist normalized doing business over here its offen hard for us to see it.
I somewhat doubt that if you have even basic understanding of private property and “freedom”. (Edit: which marxist should have)
Like for example, government official hiring (or helping get hired through his administrative resources) his failson is theoretically bad and nepotism (unless your name is joe apparently?); private ceo hiring his failson - good and proper (he is free to do so), and then leaving him his position through death. Like these are close things, in one case it’s taxpayer’s money, in another - it’s worker’s money
