    Its because China isn’t beholden to a bunch of invisible suits demanding money over all else. Apparently the US can’t break from Citizens United, and tell this corpos whats what to literally save its own skin.

        China is from from perfect, missing tons of freedoms like speech. However do you think they have the same issues as the US regarding wealth hoarding? They have put billionaires in jail.

        Whelp, in this case, China’s elite is not invisible. Their citizen know exactly who’s the elite controlling the economy.

        Pooh with an iron mit is not the same as the invisible kings of the countless corporations donating their free speech to our government. They are beholden to Whinnie, and he is out in the open. Yes, there are still a lot of economical politics over there. Yes, there is still capitalistic pressures and businesses are allowed to operate. Do they define money as free speech over there? Did they capture bribery and bind it to the law? I don’t know, but I do know that is true for the US, and it is the reason you won’t see enough renewables being built. Its the reason we will drag our feet to our graves, because it makes some dudes richer than god.
