I was correcting your analysis of China's economic system. Capitalism offers a means of acquiring real property, facilities, equipment, and of course legal tender.

Mercantilism allows you to profit from trading labor, materials, and finished goods. People mistakenly believed that after China adopted this system they would progress to Capitalism, but the CCP would lose control of the population if they allowed that. Only the 1.4 billion Chinese can free themselves.

The US was formed as a Republic to protect the minority. Democracy devolves into mob rule. We have "democratic" elections but hopeful we will never live in a democracy.

Freedom begins with Speech. Some of us are trying to preserve that freedom. We need people who are educated, and that's why I'm explaining all of this for you.
