The mask is off: WEF's Klaus Schwab declares China a role model

Once upon a time, the Soviets had a tightly controlled network
of internationalists known as the COMINTERN to promote their
communist model to Europe and beyond.
As it stands now, the Red Chinese have gone them one better:
They've got Klaus Schwab.
According to Fox News:
World Economic Forum founder and Chair Klaus Schwab recently
sat down for an interview with a Chinese state media outlet and
proclaimed that China was a "role model" for other nations.
Schwab, 84, made these comments during an interview with CGTN's
Tian Wei on the sidelines of last week's APEC CEO Summit in
Bangkok, Thailand.
Schwab said he respected China's "tremendous" achievements at
modernizing its economy over the last 40 years.
"I think it's a role model for many countries," Schwab said, before
qualifying that he thinks each country should make its own decisions
about what system it wants to adapt.
"I think we should be very careful in imposing systems. But the
Chinese model is certainly a very attractive model for quite a number
of countries," Schwab said.
A role model? A country of zero freedom, low social mobility, social
credit scores, and constant government surveillance? Who the heck,
even among the revolutionary wokester crowd, is openly calling for
a Chinese model for their own countries?
China in fact is a giant prison, complete with slave labor,
sweatshops, low wages, continuous lockdowns and actual laogai,
or Gulags. Challenge the government in any way and you'll be packed
off to one for years upon years in no time. In the case of the
Uighurs, just being the wrong nationality is enough for such
punishment.
Far from being an attractive role model, China is a country people
flee from. In 2019, by China's own statistics, 11 million have gotten
the heck out and moved to other countries just to get away from it,
with about a third coming to the U.S. China has the third-highest
global emigration rate after India and Mexico, and we all know what's
next to Mexico on its north side is what's bringing them. It's largely
the same with China.
Schwab, who's a canny operator, knew that his China-love would go
down well with the Chinese state journalist-propagandists, but
wouldn't sound too good to anyone else hearing the statement, so he
qualified it with claims that every nation should get to choose its
path of governance. That rings hollow, given that the system he's
advocating for the West explicitly requires a party elite to do all
the choosing for the people they rule over with an iron fist. As for
China itself, well, did the Chinese get to choose the horrid system
they lives under? Nope, in 1948, Mao Zedong, aided by, surprise,
the COMINTERN, shot his way into power and imposed the brutal
regime onto China by force, where it has been in power ever since.
