China won in spite of its government, not because of it. All the actual citizens making things people want to buy have to drag their boomer politicians kicking and screaming into the 21st century, because the latter has a Russia tier obsession with looking "strong" which just leads to them pissing everyone off. Remember the whole "warrior-wolf diplomat" thing that really was just giving carte-blanche to act like a total cunt?
