Wow China really is falling apart their paramilitary cops don't even have as machine guns and armor! Even our regular cops have that!

They only had 2 fatalities in the Hong Kong colour revolution in 2019. Those are rookie numbers. Chinese cops have barely shot any pet dogs at all! A country in decline

Hypernormalization: when the country was a success of capitalism - wow, look at the Tiger economies. When they have become a threat through that very same process of modernization. Goddamn look at these evil commies.

The script flipped once China started restricting foreign investment from buying up capital in China.

Not gonna lie, the John Foster Dulles name-drop made me do a spit take. This author has gotta be one of those old as fuck Kissinger types. Let's check his Wikipedia:
In Patient Zero (2003) and Narcotic Culture (2004), Dikötter posits that the impact of the prohibition of opium on the Chinese people led to greater harm than the effects of the drug itself.

Wasn't a bad read. It's full of drum beating about china being authoritarian and how they're preventing "ordinary people" from changing the country (ordinary to Time Magazine means millionaires and billionaires), but aside from those two issues it essentially reads as a description anyone here would make of China's reform and opening up being a clever trick that used capitalist power in socialist hands.
It's basically the ML take on China except with anti-china framing to make it palatable for liberal ears.

It's actually been very odd how many normies I've explained this to at work or whatever and the response been 'ohhhh, that makes sense. Good for them, they really bamboozled these guys'
