The era of CCP economic rise is over. Middle income trap and aging demographics dictate as much. CCP will now have to contend with

- internal turmoil

- political infighting

- encirclement by democracies (India, Japan, Australia, US, UK, Canada, France, South Korea, Taiwan). Once Merkel is out in sept 2021, Germany will be onboard

- negative sentiment from most of population in the world due to covid

- exploding debt/bankruptcies

- lack of efficient feedback loops to self correct, as dictatorship has little of that. Thus Jack Ma is no more.

If you have a foreign commercial presence in China, expect

- kidnapping of executives (for layoffs, unpaid bills)

- no delivery for paid merchandises

- seizure of molds/machines/factories (nationalization)

- seizure of tangible assets (nationalization)

- trademark/copyrights given to Chinese entities

with no recourses.
