OK. I'll play. Since you brought it up, how about a comment on the Chinese history of alternately centralizing, and decentralizing political power, which, although it carries with it the potential for politically destabilizing movements, has nevertheless managed to keep Chinese culture alive for the past few millennia? Not that I expect trouble while Xi is around, but as James Rickards observed in The Death Of Money, "China is a fragile contruct, and could easily descent into chaos, as it has many times before. No one is more aware of this than the Chinese themselves, Who understand that China's future is highly uncertain"
