At the conclusion of the game China is Japan, but far worse. An aging population to support with lies supporting an insolvent balance sheet. The Chinese leadership don't care of course, because as you note they're extremeley busy moving capital out of China to safe lairs. Interesting bit about China's aluminum mogul moving his enormous stockpiles of aluminum about the world - not as an investment but simply a form of money which isn't controlled. That's the problem with inheritors like the current generation in Chinese government or fellows like Trump. If they were not given money they would never have had any because excess dulled their instinct for success, so they merely buy the trappings of success to create the illusion. Camille Paglia pegged it correctly when she said "Donald Trump is a poor person's concept of what a rich person is like." I've run into mainland Chinese like him in Europe carrying the same insecurities wrapped-up in a packaging of brand names as camoflage - primarily to fool themselves.
