Domestic speech control is too strict, which may have the opposite effect of maintaining stability. In fact, they are responsible to the government and the people, and they have done a good job in many places. When compared with countries with similar or lower levels of per capita GDP development, the advantage is even more pronounced. The Hong Kong Alang Taiwan baby pointed to the mainland and said that there is no freedom. In fact, it comes from the confidence brought by a comprehensive and more developed economic level, not only the political ideology and system.

Institutions go hand in hand with economic development, not with democracy that meets the standards of American rhetoric, and societies will be prosperous and strong. South Asia, Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Black Africa, Eastern Europe, there are too many counter-examples. After democratization and liberalization, it has achieved relative stability and long-term development. Perhaps South Korea can be regarded as an example. Unfortunately, it is the norm to become chaotic and weak or continue to be chaotic and weak after the second transformation. Even in Taiwan, the economic growth rate after the political lifting of the law can only be said to be relatively stable.

The Chinese can't wait to trade more generations for "solid" economic development like India did. Struggle for the great-grandson, after all, is more illusory. Focusing on the individual and preaching freedom can feel very comfortable and intuitive, but it can run counter to the needs of national development and ultimately hinder one’s potential to live more freely. The disadvantages of populism can also be reflected by high-level intellectuals with practical actions. Political correctness of distributed systems can also be overwhelmed by the high costs of inefficiency. Of course, collective fanaticism is less persuasive—albeit often necessary.
