It's just a single dictator. China has one dictator with full unilateral uncontested power. No courts shooting down orders or elections changing tides. One guy, all the power, for life. Every official, citizen, and business owner take his orders, uncontested.
If you think that is the choice basket to put your eggs in, best of luck.
Did you hear about the belt and roads initiative? Like this is the stuff that gives soft power in geopolitics. When was the last time the US did something comparable?
Exactly. Imagine China's dictator would kidnap some other foreign president just to steal their country's natural resources. Or if he just starts a war against some Middle East country to take the focus away from some pedophile scandal.
Thanks God nothing like that could happen in the US, thanks to its constitution, courts and armed informed citizens. That's why I'm putting all my eggs in that basket.
