No he isn't. A rational leader moves slowly and deliberately and even if they see pushback they are measured. This statement from him is not measured, it's unhinged. Also NK was basically closed off from the world whereas China is very connected. A long term violent tyranny in NK is nothing like one developing in China. Chinese businesses do not want to be in a North Korea.
They can be run by intelligent men but not sane men. The act of being a tyrant makes you lose yourself and go mad. Then you have the core of yes men that also have to be compromised to sign off on atrocities. They thirst for power too. It all falls apart eventually.
Right.
You can be a tyrant, perfectly sane, and not lose yourself or go mad. See Kissinger, or Khomeini. Or Rehza Palavi. Or Al Sisi. Or Mubarak. Or every single military dictator during Brazil's period of military rule. Reality doesnt have to line up with storybook logic, and it often doesnt.
Everything falls apart eventually. Thats a meaningless statement.
You wanna believe jinping aint rational? go right ahead. You wont find many fopo peeps that agree with ya tho.
NK existed but it was not part of the world community. We are talking about the sustainability of China's current regime. If they go full NK then they have lost because that is a road to financial ruin. They would be isolated like NK. We would be having a completely different discussion as the country would be neck deep in sanctions.
Srsly dude, grow up. Aint no one gon isolate a country as rich as China, same way aint no one isolates Saudi Arabia, who's in the process of genociding yemenis for some years now. Money talks, and china has not only a fuckload of money, but also bout than 20% of the worlds population. No one's gonna do shit.
And Xi knows. Which is the problem
