Michael – kindly do not speak on behalf of anyone except yourself. I, for one, am very interested in Clark’s comparison of our approach with China’s.
If you have such an aversion to China, there are plenty of other forms of government, and you can see their responses – New Zealand and Taiwan spring to mind.
It appears you are looking for an excuse to dismiss success stories, falling back to the right-wing, business-first approach pushed by the populist press, which is owned and operates on behalf of the billionaire class. They want business running full bore again and damn the consequences to the “little people” on the front lines.
Except they are stupid and wrong, as usual – “freedom” as defined by the reckless right will end up with mass illness and death, a crippled economy and far worse consequences at every level.
