Bravo Loudmouth, says it all !

Hear, hear.

Under socialism / communism you must have laws that remove the right to own more assets or make more money than the average person. Take away that right and distribute equally to the poor and non workers. This is where the conflict occurs as the workers are carrying the free loaders. The State owns all public assets and the workers are employed by the State. The State owns the minds of the workers, so any political aspirations different to State opinion must be quashed i.e. China.

We have the threat of that happening in some elements of current Party Politics. "Give it all for free". However if an able bodied person cannot create enough wealth to sustain himself and his family and several disabled then socialist /communism does place us in Venusalia category.

Josephus, I agree with your theme, but I must point out that there are millions of millionaires in China, as well as billionaires.
I don't know how they did it with the type of govt structure they have.
There must be some kind of financial or business freedom that we are not aware of.
I certainly have been confused, based on what I know and what you write, as to how this is possible.
They must have changed some laws or policies, which would now allow private individuals to succeed.
Maybe the central govt is a partner in the business so the state earns as well.
I don't know, but if anyone has an update on China's policy on this, I would sure like to know.

2018. Lowy Institute: 54% of Australians wanted lower immigration.

ABS figures: Population grew by 400,000 per year over the previous 3 years.

Altrav, the people in business are able to make a lot of money in China.
However it does seem to be on call from the party.
I notice the party is demanding that many of those invested in
Australia are being told to return the money to China.
This is why many buildings with pre-build sales of units are not being
settled.
I do not think there are rules, it is just at the whim of the party.
