It’s a model for meritocratic selection of global leaders. Someone like Zuck is who he is because billions of people “voted” for him, and can opt out if they don’t like his products.

The next step is to formalize that intuition, clean up the many edge cases, and create true technopolitical leaders.

Does this equate to no confrontation of the CCP over their treatment of the Uyghurs?

Chinese = Chinese people, not ccp. Hot take: lots Chinese ppl don’t live in China. Also ppl who live in China =! CCP.

Yes for sure, I agree with all of that. So the plan is either subversion or overthrow of the CCP? I could not be more onboard with the idea of the Chinese people carving their own future separate from Xi. 

My original comment was really on the topic of self-censoring wrt Uyghurs for the purpose of building a stronger relationship with China. It is that that I am not comfortable with. Xi, and the governing elite, should be exposed for what they are, just like other leaders of the world should be.
