Except Xi Jinping is not oppressing owners of capital. China has lots of oligarchs that in some ways have a tighter grip on society than their western counterparts. He's oppressing people that are "inconvenient" to him.

Did you get that info from the same dudes insisting that killing Brian Thompson was, like, not okay guys? Businessmen in China are scared shitless of the party, and so should they, the party has 87 million members and a 90+ approval rating.

There's no CEO in china wielding one tenth of the influence that weird nazi Elon Musk has, or Bill Gates' vaccine privatizing ass.

Elon Musk openly daydreams about being Ma Huateng. What does that tell you?

Elon Musk is an idiot.

These are all vibes, can you explain exactly how and why you believe Xi is simply "oppressing those invonvenient" to him?

All vibes, no thoughts.
