        Some are real fuckin’ close. It doesn’t have to be all of them, every time.

            Again, says guy talking about fairies.

            You grasped for a comparison to Biden. Biden can’t fire whoever’s in charge of a business. Xi can. Xi can have those people executed. That is the power this entire post is celebrating.

            Drawing comparisons to the business executives themselves has a basis and a function, no matter how hard you try to pivot into nuh-uhs and non sequiturs.

              You haven’t proven those claims, though. You keep stating them as though they are fact. This is deeply unserious behavior.

                They’re your claims.

                When I say the state has half the economy - that’s your estimate.

                When I say they plan the other half too - those are your words.

                When I point out these businesses are so clearly beneath the state, that the business’s leaders can be executed - that’s the only thing this post is about! It is a direct comparison of some guy doming a healthcare exec, and the Chinese government’s rather fucking tight control over that entire economy.

                I don’t think you understand how conversations work.

                  No, you make unsubstantiated claims of Xi being able to execute whoever he wants, willy nilly, and I ask you to substantiate them. I am not saying my claims are wrong, but yours.
