    A “curious approach on billionares” sound much like billionares apologia to me. China has greedy vermin billionares like the rest of the world. A quick search for “chinese megayachts” will show what you are looking for.

      They aren’t perfect, and as stated elsewhere they are in a period of Dengist based socialism. However, they are extremely successful, very popular within their country from all sources that could be called evidence (especially compared to the US government), and do far less to acquiesce to the billionaires compared to West, seemingly (charging and sentencing billionaires for corruption, cracking down on financiers, etc). I think another user had a good point too about looking at the amount they have per capital.

      They are the most successful nation practicing a form of socialism in the modern world and offering an alternative to liberal capitalism.

      There’s a reason it’s called critical support.

      Since you’re not going to actually read it, I guess you’ll never know.

      I didn’t say there aren’t billionaires with megayachts, I said, “Do you see Chinese state functionaries tooling around the world in megayachts?”

        And i didn’t ask how many megayachts the guy own i asked how many houses he own. You don’t really get to see state functionaries of any state tooling around in megayachts because they all try to keep a low profile, see putin and his proxy yachts.
