[contingencies]

the communist party stopping 40 years of criminal abuse of its own citizens, and deciding to rent them out for pennies to the foreign corporations, and making billions in the progress (then allowing its members to escape China with the money).

It is a fair point that a lot of stolen money escaped the country, though it's generally recognized that this process is slowing now. However, it is not fair to suggest that the Chinese government abused its citizens for personal profit when quite clearly the entire population has benefited greatly from the country's transition to widespread modern material wealth.

The miracle actually is that Communist party, with its massive debt, crashing economic policies, authoritarian policies, censorship, human rights abuse, trashing of its environment/food supplies/water supplies, is still standing.

If you replace Community party with US or UK government, the same is also true.
