    China is the interesting one. Since Deng , it’s been an interesting and varied toss up of goals and actions mixed with pragmatism and technological improvements.

    I wish Hu’s reforms went further, the oppression of minorities halted and Xi wasn’t in charge

      Mmmm a very interesting one. I guess growing up during the Cultural Revolution after having your high-ranking dad purged makes you hungry lol

          Lol sorry I got Xiaoping confused with Xi Jinping (im sick and my head is blurgh).

          I was commenting on Jinping’s focus on power consolidation and breaking the term limit.

          But watching China has been very interesting, especially their grip over global critical minerals and how the rest of the world is reacting. It’s been a wild ride for lithium stocks on the ASX lol
