It’s clear that today’s Democratic Party is very far left. But it
may come as a surprise to learn that it’s further to the left than the Chinese
Communist Party! Much further. For example, China has the world’s second
largest number of private billionaires and is proud of that fact!
It's still strongly influenced by the legacy of
Deng Xiaoping, who reportedly said, “To get rich is glorious” and “Let some
people get rich first.” If these words were said in America, the Democrats would
denounce them as the “trickle down” theory.
To learn what's right with capitalism and wrong with socialism, and implicitly what's right and wrong with China, first read the book at https://amzn.to/2N44uTu and then, for deeper, more comprehensive knowledge, the book at amzn.to/2PM19ut. Especially Democrats and all other leftists should do this.
According to the NYT (https://nyti.ms/3bgDFHH), there are no new
Coronavirus cases in China except for those brought in from the outside. This
is a claim not just about Wuhan but the whole country.
This claim implies that it took no significant time whatever for
the disease to spread from Wuhan throughout the rest of China and that now all of
China can be assumed to be essentially free of the disease. (There isn’t enough
salt to take this with.)
A hypothesis worth considering is that China is
desperate for foreign exchange earnings and is getting ready to order its
population back to work at risk of being infected or not.
A second hypothesis worth considering is that the
Chinese have found that, outside of particular identifiable segments of the
population, the death rate from the Coronavirus is much lower than initially
believed, perhaps comparable to that of the flu.
