Article has some logic that makes sense, as does UBI in general.
However currently China is still far away from this, welfare is low compared to most european countries, lack of reliable welfare has contributed to their massive housing bubble, now deflating. Also, I read that Xi J is anti-welfare.

Really? He's interventionist in general, so that surprises me.
