I'd like you to tell me a better way for Xi to swim around in a giant moneybin like Scrooge McDuck.

This is actually, literally, propaganda. Almost fun to read because of how obvious it is.

I’m glad you recognize that, now apply it to western media. There is a huge global protest today. And hardly a whisper from American media.

global protest website only mentions American cities

Never change, America

That’s the big one on Washington. I don’t think they are coordinated other than the date. There’s one in London.

On the books

Do people realize communism is moneyless, because from the comments I’m not sure they realize the goals of socialism?

If you think Xi isn't hoarding wealth for himself and his cronies you're delusional.

Source? Why would he? He doesn’t need to, he’s President for life. What’s he gonna buy? Graceland?

"Wealth" doesn't necessarily mean "money". I'm sure he can get money if and when he needs it.

My point is that regardless of what pay he collects on paper, he is extremely wealthy and he exerts control over the distribution of significant wealth within the PRC. Xi is about as communist as Putin is.
