In keeping with the general theme post 12/26 2024 I propose DeepSeek be nicknamed CHADGPT on this forum.

On second thought it should be changed to CHAD-XI-PT for maximum triggering effects! And also Xi governed Zhejiang at one point. Least challenging task in his career since everyone in Zhejiang is a genius with 135+ IQ.

Have they considered that maybe how innovative a firm is has nothing to do with whether it is private or state owned but whether is has competition?
Competition and incentives for personal power. Humans by default aren't kindred spirits with no desires and no greediness. The people who genuinely don't care about themselves and are fully committed to society's overall well-being are very few unfortunately.

So if you genuinely want your management and your workforce to fully utilize their brains and hard work to power through, you need to incentivise them. Whereas employees themselves may be ok with more financial renumeration, top top leadership want more financial benefits but most importantly, more power.

Seeking power is not that bad. Seeking power is bad when you are incompetent and/or evil. If as a person you are overall of good character and skillful enough, it's natural that more power is bestowed upon you.

So by providing incentives (promotions in SOE, moving to Beijing and getting official position in central government, getting promotion in central government etc) you incentivise people, you say to them, look you want power? No problem, as long as you are of suitable character and you have the brains to increase revenue, hit financial/innovation/social targets, be smart, then this promotion is yours.

This is what needed. This is humanity. Straight up communism failed because it didn't take into account human desires. Communism with Chinese characteristics is working so far because it allows for a degree of human desires as long as it's not excessive, harmful, and ultimately benefits the whole society. As long as communism holds a tight leash around capitalism's neck, it provides a good framework for developing the country and beating black or white solutions (only capitalism or only communism)
