Same for North Korea, except they are broke and can't afford what China is doing.
China was a monarchy and not communist initally, it started from way back. But the fact that they are fuckin rich right now, buying properties all around the world and paying in hard cold cash. 40mil houses in SG just get snap up by them, all paid in hard cold cash like nothing, is not coincidence, how they got rich, because they hunger for it. It's in their DNA. It's no coincidence, even the most oppressive countries to Chinese people, they still rise up and became the richest in those countries. Indonesia was systematically murdering chinese people, because despite all the oppression, they still became Indonesian richest. In any other countries, the race that other country is often trying genocide on are always stuck in poverty as a result of oppression. Chinese people has this track record of rising up, regardless of any environment and how bad the environment is toward them. Because I feel the sufferings of all work and no play started from childhood. They are trained to survive hardships.
I think current state of Chinese people around the world, in all sorts of different environment is evidence. It starts with their unique upbringing that is not really practice in many other race culture. All work and no play starts from childhood. Don't think you can be a 2 yr old and not be filled with 8 hours of home work everyday! Many chinese kids in Singapore, by 2 yr old, are already attending full day school. And then more tuition and work after school. But you don't see Indians, Caucasians or Malays doing that to their kids.
Oligarchs, corrupt to the core are very often very rich. You are going to have to show me where rich individual Chinese citizens are buying up those homes. To my knowledge, they are not allowed.
Otherwise you speak of the Chinese sovereign wealth fund which is funded by govt. and realized on the back of cheap Chinese labor not from the success of China's entrepreneurs innovating their own new widely sold products and who are still usually corrupt and or taxed very heavily.
As for rising up, it is estimated that the Chinese domestic marketplace is approx. the same size as the American population at around 300 million. That leaves over 1 billion people in China who will never 'rise up.' as is exemplified by the suicides among the poor and oppressed labor.
India has had a corrupt capitalist system for decades now and 750 million of them still live in almost abject poverty due to it. There simply is no escaping the conclusion that power corrupts and the top reap the benefits while the bottom majority languish. While education starts earlier, what does it produce ? Just more efficient oppressed labor upon which the elites and powerful get even richer.
It is the the west that only in the last 30 years, begin to struggle with less economic mobility but there's a long way to go before [it] sinks to the level of the east irrespective of the policies you describe.
