    The question I have is: Are those Chinese billionaires running the country? Are they CCP high ranking members? Is there any type of fifth column that could upend the party structure? I’d honestly love to know more about that if you have a resource. I know there have been some major economic frauds and stuff like with Jack Ma, but they disappeared him, something that the United States would NEEEEEEVER do. Elon Musk could blow up Padre stadium with one of his rockets and nobody would do shit to him.

      Yes. The wealthy people are running China just like they run the US by using the power of money to influence policy. You are looking for a conspiracy, but the reality is far more mundane.

      Also, do you think I support the US!? I am far more critical of the US than I am of China. So you can settle down.
