You haven't proven those claims, though. You keep stating them as though they are fact. This is deeply unserious behavior.
They're your claims.
When I say the state has half the economy - that's your estimate.
When I say they plan the other half too - those are your words.
When I point out these businesses are so clearly beneath the state, that the business's leaders can be executed - that's the only thing this post is about! It is a direct comparison of some guy doming a healthcare exec, and the Chinese government's rather fucking tight control over that entire economy.
I don't think you understand how conversations work.
No, you make unsubstantiated claims of Xi being able to execute whoever he wants, willy nilly, and I ask you to substantiate them. I am not saying my claims are wrong, but yours.
That's what this post is about.
No, it isn't. The PRC executes billionaires guilty of mass crimes such as corruption, not "whoever they want."
