It is so interesting to see the CCP try to navigate the dichotomy between state planning and free markets. Trying to make diametrically opposed systems play together. I would even be rooting for them if it wasn't for the complete disregard for human life, personal liberties and all the fucking genocide...
- cblconfederate 5y agoMarkets are nowhere free since they are always defined narrowly by state and international laws. What china doesn't allow is capitalism but handling a state-planned market doesnt seem to be that hard.

The CCP deliberately used temporary free markets to kick-start their national economy before re-nationalizing everything. This is part of the Communist playbook now, and is discussed widely. Any Chinese billionaire that's not a CCP head will be imprisoned or killed over the next decade.
