Having watched that video, laowhy presents a biased view on the topic. Not a biased view of China mind you, but because his views echo the triumphant 90s zeitgest that capitalism, liberalism, and what can be cast as a "laissez-faire" attitude (supposedly being necessary to the development of a country) is for him the de-facto aka obvious best system. The underlying thread is still that "Fukuyama take" that capitalism and liberalism are the end-of-history. Laowhy provides a compelling narrative, but it also feels like it is just that: a narrative. China as a country has endured and has at hand many more tools to ensure its stability. It is not a simple dictature or the USSR, which could be brought to its knees via a mix of political and economic ostracism. The video sadly feels like some feel-good geopolitical video for westerners: "don't worry about China because China worries about itself and hides it, badly". |

Just saying something is biased does not make you correct. It is just very elaborate way to say “oh no it isn’t!”.
