LOL, I think SI likes to play the part of the contrarian. Everything Steve says, SI gets a kick out of saying the opposite.

But I agree on a few things. Xi Jinping is one of the most astute and wily humans on earth. I wish our leaders had a little of his political abilities, barring of course his evident demonic traits, concealed in the disguise of a man looking like an inoffensive teddy bear.

And, China is probably the more ruthlessly efficient government and society in the world, barring the inevitable corruption and general disregard for individual necessities.

Yet, it remains a gigantic anthill. People are not humans, they are ants and are regarded as equally expendable. The queen ant, Xi Jinping, has the right over everything.

Would you like to live there?

...I can hear SI compulsively answering yes, after the drive of his contrarian attitude!
