At this rate, how long do you think it'll be before there aren't any more millionaires or billionaires in China?

The following is from Bill Bishop's news letter....any comments? "• Taiwan election deal - Former President Ma Ying-jeou has brokered a deal for a joint ticket with Hou of the KMT and Ko of the TPP, with the pick for the top of the ticket to be determined through analysis of polls over the next several days. This combined ticket far from guarantees that William Lai, current VP and the DPP candidate for President, will lose the January 2024 election, but it makes the race much more competitive. The top of the combined ticket matters, and Ko of the TPP as the Presidential candidate would likely have a better shot against Lai than Hou of the KMT would, but regardless this combination is something that Beijing will be happy to see, and may have encouraged Ma Ying-jeou to pursue it. Foxconn founder Terry Gou has qualified to run as an independent in a vanity campaign that is destined to fail but could have a spoiler effect that helps the DPP. So no one should be surprised if even more pressure is put on Foxconn by the PRC authorities to persuade Gou to get out of the way."

How is China not one of the least communist countries in the world if they don't allow charities to help alleviate the suffering of people at the bottom?

They intimidate and use xenophobic reasoning....

Chris, do Matt and Shelley still answer questions at the end of a CU episode or is that no longer a thing?
