    Why are you bothered by China helping North Korea? Also same people being in power isnt inherently wrong until institutions work properly, which seems to be the case in China.

    And market and credit card rating people is good but govt doing is bad? lol

      The only part that I agree with is the same people in power point, although I think it is poorly phrased. I would restate it as “a country ruled by the same people for a long time tends to have drastic swings in quality of life when it becomes time for succession, or when those people loose their mental faculties”. This is not to say that I expect it to happen every time, but I am drawn to the dictators of the 1900s as examples since I am struggling to come up with one that survived to their third leader.

        Can you say CPC is run by same people? they have clear succession method and they function according to whatever their party constitution says. Wasnt Xi himself held many small posts then rose to top? I wont call them dictator for the same reason, the President doesnt hold supreme power either
