Does anyone feel that the way Chinese people think is really different? For example, bros, when it comes to the economy. Most people around the world think that to boost economic freedom, you need to increase government transparency, reduce bureaucratic friction, prevent monopolies by big corporations, stop unfair competition, and find ways to get more people involved in economic activities. More people starting businesses means more companies, which boosts economic vitality. Chinese people think: we should unapologetically grow and strengthen state-owned enterprises. The historical mission of private enterprises is over. The government should control businesses in every aspect, and party branches should be integrated into companies. Only when every industry is monopolized by state-owned enterprises will the economy thrive. And the results of the past few years are already clear. So, it’s kind of bizarre. While the US stock market, Nikkei, Korea, Taiwan, India, Singapore… are all hitting new highs, over here it’s still “stable and improving.” On one hand, young people are complaining about not being able to find jobs after graduation, and on the other hand, it’s all “stable and improving.”
