1 "Beijing is using its massive export engine to offset deflationary pressures in its domestic economy—a result of state-induced capital misallocation"
This is what's called state capitalism. Fascism is different. Read Giovanni Gentile.

2 China is evolving from socialism, where the state owned all the means of production. Now there is private ownership, which is permitted so long as the owners are obedient to the demands of the state —> fascism. The state supports those companies selling to the export market, underwriting predatory pricing below the manufacturer's cost of production to drive foreign competitors out of business. Then once the Chinese suppliers approach monopoly status, they raise their prices to whatever they can get away with. Or pick and choose which of their customers they will or won’t sell to, controlling the fates of their customers.

So yes, offsetting deflationary pressures is part of the government’s objective, but the other part is controlling who will survive and who thrive, both at home and abroad.

6 So when Xi becomes an emperor it won't matter whether his ideology matches Mao, Marx, Lenin or even Hitler. He can just dictate whatever he wants. Does he have a son who will inherit the imperial throne?

7 Cool, so we won't call them the CCP anymore?

China is not communist. Now, maybe, it's kinda sorta formalized.

Sat down with his pal for a feast.

Fit for two right wing dudes!"
Peking: "Duck, you Canuck communista, er, -o!"
