Exactly – the CCP shoots itself in the foot with some of its policies.

“Today, the Great Invisible Wall could refer to the West’s inability to fully appreciate the extent of China’s transformation…”

I disagree: I was much more convinced of China’s transformation before I went and lived there for a bit. The west and china both need to gain a great deal of understanding to make their relationship work properly

Open up the information doors and let the light come in - and out. When China hides itself, no wonder foreigners do not appreciate what is happening. Open up the information doors and let the light come in – and out.

Twenty years ago we were naive and hopeful, now we see the corrupt mess that is the CCP and consequently China's government. The improvements in China over the last generation are entirely due to the Chinese people. The problems that still exist in China, to the extent they are man made, are entirely due to the CCP and China's government. Mr. Gosset seems to share the aristocratic pretensions of China's "communist" elite. True empathy with the Chinese people demands vast improvements and changes to the current situation.
