Martin van Creveld on Taiwan: We have to think the unthinkable

by time news

Vpelteaeu Ple Oet:

  • After decades of sustained economic growth, during which GDP per capita has increased by a factor of 70, the point at which the formulas introduced by Deng Xiaoping in the 1980s no longer seem to work seems to have come. As President Xi Jinping himself knows, the gap between rich and poor has grown so large that it threatens the stability of the regime – as it has often done in the past. New methods are urgently needed, but so far there is no sign of them being discovered, let alone implemented.
  • In many places across China, rampant industrialization over the past four decades has resulted in environmental catastrophes unparalleled in Chinese and perhaps human history. Unbreathable air. Undrinkable water. Masses of toxic substances seeping into the soil, reducing or eliminating its fertility.
  • China’s decades-old one-child-per-family policy has long meant fewer and fewer young people have to support an increasing number of older ones, severely slowing down productivity. So far, attempts to improve the situation through deregulation have not seemed to be working.
  • According to the best available evidence, Corona originated in China. Also, the spread of the virus has been facilitated by the government’s refusal to allow neutral observers to study the disease and do whatever is necessary. This, combined with Beijing’s bullying of its smaller neighbors, has severely damaged the country’s international credibility.
