Because it's only applied to Xi's political opponents and billionaires CCP doesn't like. CCP family members wealth or their allies are untouched. In addition as can be seen through their curtailing of tech giants and COVID policies, China's economic output is falling. There is nothing wrong with trying to have a more egalitarian society, US in particular badly needs it, but as always when CCP implements this sort of thing, you have to take it with a grain of salt.

As far as I can gather, and I am no doubt oversimplifying this, China is doing a huge amount of trial and error and on a huge scale constantly and to various outcomes from total failures to great success and everything in between and it's apparently obvious that China has quite a bit of work and challenges to do going forward. My point is that China is always doing something no matter how small or radical to address the problems they are facing which in my opinion is more than a lot of people can say about their respective governments. Again, it is clear that there are some major and pressing issues that need to be sorted as soon as possible and it will be interesting to see how China will deal with this going forward. On a personal note, I am glad to see that people understand that everything has a price and that progress does not come cheap and quick. Yeah, it's maddeningly frustrating at times (especially for younger people) but as long as something is being visibly done then things become at least a bit more tolerable. I wish China and it's people's the best of luck as I do for any other nation and I hope we will all come out of all of today's global difficulties towards a better way and at least a bit wiser to boot.

A big issue with China I’ve seen is they have bought all this advancement on population “credit”. A population demographic of a lot of highly productive 30-60 year old slingshots progress and is ideal for current growth and that’s what they have. They killed alot of old with the mishandling of the Great Leap Forward and early communist policy, and the 1 child policy reduced the burden of taking care of young for 18+ years. They will suffer a major population collapse similar to what happened in Japan in the coming decades.

[@taiwanisacountry]

I would like to counter that my friend. :-) my government the government of Denmark actually listens to the people, and are proactive in dealing with problems. Energy sustainability, global warming preparations, and so on. We began decades ago, that is why we can go on as normal without any issues, because we have already dealt with those issues before they became major problems. Heard about social unrest by the masses in Denmark? That has never happened as long as I have been alive and I am 28. You do not need any trial and error you just need to fix the problems. Identify the issues, find out how to deal with it, and then do it. We do that in an open and transparent way. :-) China is not open nor transparent, they are full of hot air when it comes to stewardship of the globe, they are running around now like chickens without a head after they chose to close down Shanghai, and their current economic disaster is going to roll them up and smoke em. I too wish the best of luck for the Chinese people and all the best. So I cheer for the downfall of the CCP.

You don't see them reporting that a number of banks in China when bankrupt. Those rich and corrupted have sent their money oversea.

There would have been a huge commotion and chao by it's citizens that why even online delivery weren't allow during their lockdown. Until have have them starve for nearly two months, that way they wouldn't and have the energy to complaint. You don't see Singapore news reporting about all these or that millions of money laundering money were used to buy properties in Singapore. Instead it was just reported that wealthy people buying properties and billionaires want to do business in Singapore. When the world knows that 5 top billionaires in China including Jack Ma when missing, so whoever this billionaires want to do business is sent by their government to infiltrate Singapore. Like they did with Covid and Singapore as the test ground.

If Singapore doesn't learn it's lesson and keep promoting the idea of Chinese spending millions on housing when in fact recently their been case of people doing money laundering, sending and spending it . To billionaires from China wants to do and open business in Singapore. First, China 5 top billionaires when missing including Jack Ma. If any want to do business in Singapore, you know they are send by their own country government. Singapore was their first testing ground with Covid. They didn't expect Singapore to survive as it strongly depend on tourism and external trade. Singapore stop daydream and promote the fake and faults images that China is doing very well that's why the rich and billionaires are doing business in Singapore. When we know they just want to infiltrate and ruin Singapore from the inside. Why they keep want to push the remove of death penalty because people who want to do business by doing illegal or increase corruption in Singapore. That's why they have Shang Hai in lockdown and didn't even allow the people to order food online. Shanghai people are the most opinion more independent mind and their spending habit is bigger if they didn't put them under lockdown when those effected by the bank go bankrupt there would have been a huge commotion. Singapore Should really stop hiring foreigners and invest in Singapore have more children and pay / salaries given higher if Singapore to increase and create a better balance. Have Philippineo become manager or of rank they only hire their own people for the job same goes to China they basically take over food court. You have only one or few Singaporean because of the quote ratio to foreigners. Number of times Singaporean are look down on or bully at work because they out number by their foreign worker in one station. They are expected to work long hours without complaint while foreigners works and love engage in backstabbing and drama because they know they will not stay long after they send money back and own a building or a apartment after working a few years in Singapore.

That’s the ideal, but how do you convince those with money to give up their wealth to help others that have nothing to do with them? Also what would drive the economy if everyone lives a comfortable life without working hard to get it. It’s not realistic and imo impractical. It’s a bit of a chicken and egg problem as well, I mean how do you give everyone a comfortable life if you don’t have a strong economy.

[@magahongkong4664]

Not like Xi isn't corrupted. Let me ask you, how did Xi gained 1.2B net worth? Can you explain where did he get the money from? Corruption campaign is only to eliminate oppositions. But I agree, Indonesian govt isn't good either. The tactic is called soft power. By giving people money, the govt is buying them out. But those people who don't create wealth and consume wealth will lead to shortage of supplies. That will soon deplete the amount of goods and services they have. Communism doesn't work. When the US stops pouring money into China, we will see China running out of goods and services. The problem isn't the ability to produce but the lack of willing to produce. Producers don't produce things for free. Consumers don't wanna work and depend on gov or because they had been depending on gov for so long now they don't know what to do when they govt has no idea what to do because foreigners all leave China. The systems don't work for Communism and dictators unless like Saudi Arabia, they at least share the wealth with the people and incentivize them to innovate to transform the country.

This is a very useful and informative account of the policy of the leaders of china ..this policy of Common Prosperity. By this publication more people every where will understand China better ..in fact China has learned a lot from Singapore from adapting a socialist country to a capitalist approach under the banner of Socialism with Chinese characteristics..and to the need to eliminate the cancer of corruption which can destroy any social systems in the world. This Common Prosperity adopted by President Xi is something which other countries must also learn ..especially Singapore. As we know in any country it is the 20% which makes the grade and the 80% strives very hard to go into the 20%. The wealth is always with the 20%. But in singapore it is not only the 80% which has to compete but the20% too has to compete...against the world .The fact is that Singapore draws its talents from the world and that becomes very hard for all Singaporean to reach the top percentage. The rich and the poor, the gap is very great ,so unless this issue can be resolved like in China ...class differences and conflict are very potential. The future prime minister of Singapore too comes from a family in the neighbouring country ..See the competition..!!
