    but at what cost?

    You said the thing! Lmao.

    Either way, the industrialization originated with the CPC taking power and establishing Central Planning. Later, Deng invited foreign investment while maintaining central planning and state supremacy over Capital. Read Socialism Developed China, Not Capitalism, it’s a short 20 minute essay.

      Well, I guess its all hunky dory then. Good on central planning! I’m familiar with the essay and the thesis. I just find this penchant for cherrypicking the parts of history we like not very productive for analysis. Thanks anyway.
