Okay, sorry it's taken so long. Life has been hectic as all hell.
So it's tough really to give a definitive example. A good way to describe it is China's "urbanization" and "free market".
China is "urbanizing", in that they're going through an accelerated and extremely dishonest technical and industrial revolution. Their tech companies are making millions on stolen IP and developing products based upon education that most of them got overseas, while the government is manually shoving already impoverished farms even further under the ground.
China's "free market" is even simpler to explain. The CPC saw the benefits from a free market but knew they didn't want to lose their consolidated control over the means of production. So, they "privatized" huge swathes of the industries, placing huge taxes on the companies and filling their boards with current or former CPC officials.
On paper, China is "urbanizing" and becoming a "free market". On paper, they're adhering to international sanctions against North Korea. On paper, they may say they love the West, while standing against Western culture, capitalism, and supporting a Sino-centric world economy. I admit fully that the majority of what I've mentioned has been diplomatic deception, but I've seen in my conversations with Chinese people that you often, not always but often, have to search for a hidden motivation.
Can you provide an example?
