China: CCP extends control of Chinese private sector

Don't look at the action, look for the reason.

Growing wealth leads to growing demand for freedom.

This is an authoritarian government reaction.

Will be interesting to see where it goes. WAY too early for it to turn bloody, IMHO.

I used to think this way about China, but now I'm pessimistic. With the help of Silicone Valley, they've destroyed all hope in that country for freedom.

What if bread and circuses is enough? And there are so many fancy breads and circuses these days.

Add in the high number of imbeciles that live among us and it’s a perfect storm of sorts.
