At this point so many people are disillusioned with democracy you wonder what's happened. I think the truth is that too much of this pursuit of self-interest thing that America believes in and other western nations believe in actually has some psychologically unhealthiness. I mean according to the armchair theorists, when everyone pursues their own interests, everything falls nicely into place. But people are going to be selfish and end up ruining things. And that's why many people are upset at how the system isn't running like it is promised.
People in the west still believe in democracy.
People in the west are disillusioned.
That is what Trump did. The president tapped into that disillusionment to get elected, and he blamed foreigners, previous presidents, and Democrats, who altogether created the situation that lead to disillusionment. No one blamed democracy.
As far as China is concerned, it cannot be bothered with this, and the idiosyncrasies and unique logic of the outside world.
What China has to do is clear, which is get stronger and more powerful, very much more powerful, economically, technologically, and militarily. This guarantees the future, not your friends.

I think China can go democratic/suffrage, but voting would have to be limited to the tax paying population or something. And maybe you need to pass some kind of IQ test.
Otherwise democracy regress to retarded mob rule.
America's put far too much emphasis on individual freedoms and not nearly enough on societal responsibilities IMO.
Great news!
People's Daily, the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party, published two opinion pieces in two days interpreting the investigation as a move to help, not harm, the industry - even as investors in Hong Kong and New York rushed to sell their Alibaba stocks due to concerns about hostility from Beijing.
"For the platform economy, the strengthening of anti-monopoly supervision will not bring about a 'winter' of the industry, but rather a new starting point for better and healthier development," the newspaper said in its second commentary on Friday.
China's tech industry is important to its development, innovation, and overtaking the West. It's good to hear that the government stands behind it, and that the move against Alibaba is just to strengthen anti-monopoly laws, which are sorely needed.

Hi gadgetcool5
That's the result of a good spanking will do, a Chinese style of discipline
(compare that to western soft style discipline, TOO BIG TOO FAILED) or tough love, hehehehe, Well Mr Ma had been spoiled by western press praises and admiration, need to bring him back to earth to know whose the boss.
When americans are trying to steal Chinese companies like TikTok under the guise of 'national security', it's inevitable that Chinese regulation will have to exert a far deeper control over Chinese companies.
Americans will move the bar higher ... "but but but but..... per a capital we are still ## 1!!!!"
