One good reason for having many countries is we can run lots of different experiments on how to govern.

Totally ignoring all the humans rights fears, this sure is fascinating.



I mean that's the thing, China is going to implement it, we get to see what happens, and I don't think there's much we can do to stop it. I'm interested in seeing how historians look at this period of human history since it will theoretically be so objectively (? maybe? At least plentifully.) documented.


If there is one thing the Chinese government is known for, it is objectively documenting everything it does and making such records available to all.


Either it's documented and the opposition can make educated criticisms, or it's not documented and the oppositions is politically motivated. You can't have both.


Uh, by records do you mean terra cotta soldiers?
