I couldn't give you one - the topic is too vast and my memory too shot. But basically, if you compare it to someone like the execrable Fukuyama, who calls Deng Xiaoping the greatest statesman of the 20th century, it was consistently putting a negative spin on everything - including Deng. It was as if it was written by someone with an axe to grind.
This same thing was true of his earlier books, but there it was at least justified.
Now show us where the western countries have been building ghost cities to prop up a counterfeit economy like China has. A dictatorship cracking down on their homeless and keeping them out of sight isn't the own on the west you seem to think it is.

I can show you a western country that's building a ghost currency to prop up a counterfeit economy.

No, because the CCP has the power and propaganda to round them up at gunpoint and ship them out to countryside villages. Idiot.
Governments in the US have no power?
What's the tl;dr?
