More bad ones than good no doubt, but you don’t have to be communist or fascist to be nationalistic
Will they overtake us in GDP? I don’t follow the economics that much. Their housing market was a Ponzi scheme and is collapsing. Their zero covid case goal is ridiculous, it’s as if they don’t understand how viruses work. And their current zero covid case measures are fucking up their economy
So prolly not

i wasn't implying that you need to be anything else to be nationalistic. i cheer for american athletes in the olympics like anyone else.
i have also read about their crazy housing system, but i am always skeptical of what i read on china. not that i can read chinese, so idk. not that i have read anything about what the chinese have said about a zero covid case goal, but america publicly declared war multiple times on the concept of drugs. so maybe they are speaking in somewhat abstract terms by setting that goal.

that is partly what i was getting at. i don't see the chinese as being communist. not anymore. a shitload of people that capitalism 'lifted out of poverty' live in china.
seems like a temporary bargain. freedom is too vague.
