    China is ethnically and culturally homogenous for the most part. That has a large role in the success of running social programs at scale. Also I’m not sure we should look to China for inspiration on social policy, they are notoriously authoritarian.

      By whose authority, though?

      I mean. There’s governments out there committing genocide despite the overwhelming population of the world being against it.

      What does authoritarianism even mean, in that world we live in?
