China represents the perfect argument for why aristocratic and or authoritarian regimes inevitably collapses, due to lack of sustainable procedures and viewing social and especially political progress as a threat.<p>1st is that fascistic regimes is in theory one of the most efficient government you can have as you can easily circumvent due process and fast track whatever you want.<p>However in practice only investing or making the decision happen is what gets fast tracked, the actual task of running saif facility is another story entirely, where sustainable practices will degrade and corruption, stagnation and negligence will grow.<p>2nd is due to the lack of political, cultural and social research, innovation and development.<p>Instead the (hardliners of) CCP
(like Xi Jinping) views these as fundamental threat to their rule, however these are just as crucial to your society as economic, scientific and technological research, innovation and development is.<p>It's why we in the west still have democracy, democracy is a lot more inefficient but its very flexible and sustainable.<p>The issue is even we haven't been focusing on these 3 policy areas as such we see certain negative cultural, political and social stagnation and degradation due to the insistence of neopolitics (neo-con, neo-lib, third way) that we only need to focus on economic, technological and scientific progress.
