China killed all their oligarchs? US oligopolies are now worse but that doesn't mean we should play "There is no war in Basingse." with China's billionaires.

China Has Billionaires, but they are not oligarchs. They have very little political power. Just look at the number of rich people who’ve received the death sentence with reprieve, or the property developers who were left to flail and go bankrupt, or the sorry state of Jack Ma when he tried to exercise political influence.

"There is no war in Basingse"

Libs stop thinking of politics like a children's story challenge (impossible)

Would a reference to Westworld or a historical page from Wikipedia make you feel better? Maybe Ostriches? How would you like to play pretend?
