The west (secretly) loves China, but for all the wrong reasons

Read this.

It’s always been a myth that western elites hate everything about China’s system. Many of them love the worst parts of that system - the surveillance, the censorship, the central control.

But whereas China seems to use that control to build infrastructure etc (not saying that’s necessarily all a good thing), the west will use it to ensure the continuation of our violent hegemony over the world and its resources. (I mean, it already does, but it’ll get even worse).

The Coronavirus crisis provides an opportunity to manufacture consent for this agenda.
