This is the first clear thought I've seen describing an accurate model of the modern China: (from the article)

"We may be seeing in China the first true fascist society on the model of Nazi Germany, where you have this incredible resource base in a commercial economy with strong nationalism,.."

You said..."This is the first clear thought I've seen describing an accurate model of the modern China: (from the article)"

In using the word "fascist"...Bill is picking up on what we have been saying on China threads for a long time.

Some people use fascist...I coined the term neo-feudal society...which I believe China is evolving towards.

I believe that Kings were very military and empire focused back in the days of the original feudal societies.

Hell...we may be on our way there too...seeing as to how the SCOTUS applied the principle of Eminent Domain.
