The Chinese dualism reflects the current internal dissention and struggle to map a future course.

It appears the chicoms are in decline and the chicaps are ascendent. So long as the rate of change does not become too steep it apears to be a workable course.

The course in Iran will be both ends against the middle. The resultant muddle will be acceptable or at least not totally rejected by both sides.

"It appears the chicoms are in decline and the chicaps are ascendent."

Are they Chicaps, or are they really Chifacists?

As long as China is run by totalitarian/1-party rule, they're bad news IMO.....it doesn't really matter which version of the economics text (communism / capitalism) that they claim to work from.
