China
China alongside Russia and many more countries needs to move to a proper democracy. China did improve financially despite all its attacks on freedoms by having government mostly get out of the way of business and building out Shanghai as a great trade port.
Cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou fascinate me, would love to live there one day or at least visit. Specifically its focus on building top tier transportation between and inside cities is very wise. Sofia Costa, Don Weinland & Adrian Zenz share interesting news on China.
Truthfully though, I need to actually try live in China and speak to people there to actually get a feel of what China is like and where it is going. It seems the most culturally different place I can potentially visit coming from Europe.
Notes
- China can push fraudulent news to phones of all the citizens all the time.
- Two largest political factions in China excluding the princeling are the Tuanpai and the Shanghai clique but keep in mind internal faction are very informal.
- Every single one of the Standing Committee members is a Xi loyalist.
