Great article and thoughts.
Not in agreement with everything but love this point that you mentioned a couple of times:
βThe irony, though, is that many angry Middle American voters who have been taught that capitalism is their identity may feel less existentially dislocated under a system like that run by Beijing, where the ruling party makes no apology for prioritizing its own citizens, strictly polices the activities of foreign capital, and shapes the economy for the benefit of the nation, rather than the reverse.β
I can say with certainty that not just Americans would feel better if their government would prioritize its own citizens, even if taken as a mass and not individuals π€·ββοΈ
