The real problem for Emperor Xi is that the Communist Party is communist in name only. Communists don’t have stock markets. Communists can’t buy homes - they’re assigned homes. They don’t look for jobs - they’re assigned jobs. Ordinary Chinese aren’t morons - they can read between the lines. The Party is just the latest and most incompetent and murderous line of hereditary aristocrats to rule China. The moment economic growth stops, there will be an accounting.
It resembles Nazi Germany more than anything.
You can own stuff, but the government can seize it at any time on a whim, if you are deemed a threat.
