China seems to have found a solution to the oligarchy problem, but our politicians are too weak to follow it. Agreed about it being time to settle our differences and plan a joint invasion of England, though.

China has more billionaires than we do and complete dictatorial control over a population that has zero civil rights.

It's the richest country in the world. Also, this is anecdotal, but I felt freer and safer in China than in the handful of other countries I've been to, and even certain parts of my own country. If there is dictatorial control, it must be very subtle.
