It’s interesting that one of the remaining communist states in the wotls
world is not fully state-directed. In fact, China’s non-state sector, while shrinking under Ji, contributes almost tow-thirds of its GDP growth and eight-tenths of all its new jobs. China is now only socialist in name. It functions as a capitalistic economy.
But, we shouldn’t fool ourselves: as long as China has no reform of the law, i.e., creating an independent judiciary and free legal profession, property rights will still be at the party’s will.
Tariffs or no, it is also still a global force.
