In China, the government controls capital and makes it accountable to the people.
In the US, capital controls the government and runs roughshod over the people.
This is the reason why China has far surpassed the US in nearly every aspect of societal well-being.

Putin hates this stat:
At the start of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine controlled 23 regional capital and special status cities.
Today, Ukraine still controls all 23.
Russia captured one, lost it, and now holds zero.
0/23 is a strategic humiliation
