China is able to pivot quickly on projects of enormous scale in part due to its political structure. I doubt many western countries would pivot so quickly and drastically for national interests in whatever you call this version of capitalism.

It’s not efficiency that makes people prefer democracy.
It's just plain old capitalism.
With a sprinkle of dictator.
That's literally the definition of economic fascism. Private corporations that are subservient to a one party state. The efficiencies of capitalism directed towards the will of the people.
I think it's important that people understand the core argument behind fascism because if you do not counter it, you allow it to spread. Sometimes not by name but in form.
It's also my core argument against any non liberal radicalism but that's not a popular view on this platform for some reason.
Trump isn't president yet
I'm pretty sure they're taking about Xi.
They're talking about whatever version of capitalism you call the West. At least that's how it's worded.
Project 2025 -esque
Too bad the SCMP conveniently doesn't link any research materials or evidence of this 'vital' energy production plan.
My bet is another bullshit project led by scammers. Just like that enormously retarded energy storage plan
