I get a daily newsletter on events in China and it’s pretty amazing what is going on. It’s not just a limit on how much gaming people can do. There is an full-throttle anti-corruption campaign underway that is even targeting some of Xi’s old allies. It spans tech, the celebrity world, private tutoring companies, bitcoin, etc. Titans of capital and industry are feeling a distinct chill as the state is hammering their market activities and making examples of the ultra-wealthy. Shades of 1950s Maoism.
