This is a tangential argument we're having, but the CCP, while perhaps not spurring it, is at least reveling in it, and most definitely encouraging it and helping it along where it can. Anybody who thinks otherwise is willfully ignorant or woefully naive about the CCP. Nobody benefits more than the Chinese government. Big brother would be proud.

But government involvement is not the main point of your article. I think it's a great illustration that no matter how much marketing jargon the and kool-aid we peddle, we still can't escape basic economic principles.
