What Xi, Putin, Trump, Mao, AmitShah-MohanBhagwat are doing is called "Autocracy". Autocrats ARE THE PROBLEM. Its always the 'people in power' who are the problem. A man with 2 roti will share if he's good. A man with 1 million roti will still ignore hungry people if he wants. Any problem in world can be mapped to A person or small group of persons. Once they are gone, that problem is gone. Communism, socialism, democracy, monarchy are just guidelines, ways or suggestions 'people in power' can follow if they like. Autocrats are found everywhere. Now, Communism in PRC is just restricted to name of the party.

I think you confused the complete valuation of the company vs the IPO amount. Aramco opened IPO with less then 300 billion dollars.

It’s how much grains have you shipped to sell.

@@savithakl7577 Every company does charity(CSR mandatory as per companies act), and every company avoids and evades taxes. Just as you said, they are known to do so and so. Perceptions are not reality. If I were running a company, I would try to avoid taxes too, and so would you, if ur business had to survive. Avoiding taxes is not illegal btw, as proved in the vodafone cairns case. Tata does it too through a web of charity organisations. Fun Fact: If congress or any other party comes to power, even they won't probe anything.

Good insights Gupta ji👍🏻 . Xinomics is interesting. He has established China's economic dominance.

It doesn't matter if you steal 1 million dollars and you are a billionaire. It's the fact you stole. The Chinese have it right. Maybe in India, if you are billionaire and you stole a hundred dollars worth of lollies from a poor gas station. The Indian judges will be lenient because you are a billionaire. But in China, theft is theft. Nomatter what amount and nomatter how poor the victim you stole from

I have a Chinese friend who told me that we do not have democracy in China but the Chinese Communist Party has some sort of democracy internally where a capable person gets selected in top positions and the party has very well educated people in it. Ideas like Belt and Road and other economic programs cannot be conceptualized by incompetent people so in a way he believed that their system was better than democracy especially in developing countries.

[@jkuang]

I am Chinese. My problem with Indian is that they like to talk. But Chinese are only interested in results. So you can spend all your time talking about Xi-nomics and what is wrong with it, but you can not deny that China is the first country coming out of this pandemic as victor in both economic and global politics. Case in point, China GDP growth is actually bounced back to 8 percent in June/July 2020. The pandemic is no longer a national threat. In addition, two of the main political and economic agendas, the RCEP and China-EU Investment Agreement, were successfully concluded. Let's don't even mention about the Chang'e Moon Landing and Return. So you see, China does not talk. They just make things happen. You can analyze whatever you want and make your opinions heard, but the reality is very different from what you talk about and wish for.

High praise for Shekhar Gupta ... Journalist Sucheta Dalal writes about how only the Indian Express stood up to the powers that be in the Ketan Parekh scam of 2001 ... Excerpt ... "What was remarkable was the wide circle of people that the scamsters had cultivated among politicians and media. Not only did they have senior editors of widely-circulated papers as open sympathisers, they were probably funding the operations of some others and had a complete lock on what should be written and how. Two well-known editors of struggling newspapers joined in a savage personal attack against us. It was probably the first time that journalists were passing off personal abuse about another journalist as first page "news". The Asian Age and the The Pioneer neither of which has any readership worth talking about, but are backed by dubious financiers, twisted some facts about us, made up some others, laced it with nasty innuendo and printed it on the front page .... The only exception is the Indian Express Group. At a time when so many newspapers were hand-in-glove with scamsters or were busy reporting society tattle, only the Express continued to support investigative reporting despite enormous pressure. For that the credit is entirely due to Shekhar Gupta, Editor-in-Chief & CEO." www.amazon.in/SCAM-Debashis-Basu-Sucheta-Dalal/dp/8191013401/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+scam&qid=1609242181&sr=8-1

From my perspective and understanding of Sir Gupta’s analysis, Officials might have got a sense of concern about a state of instability in the far future in case capital gets concentrated around couple of super rich rather than to a justifiable distribution aspect among the rests.
