The life of the half-immortal who advised CCP leaders

[Ninurta]

The CCP is supposed to end in 2026. You had to get close to the end of the video for that part, around 16:30ish.

That would give their experiment with communism about the same institutional life as that of Soviet communism.

But, as with Russia, I don't expect any very inspirational form of government to replace them.

One possibly crucial difference between the two is that China's former government, the Nationalist Chinese, is still alive and well and waiting in the wings on Taiwan. It has been since Mao seized power and Chiang Kai-Shek fled to Taiwan.

That's one of the reasons China has a hard-on for Taiwan. They can't stand that the competition still exists. It still remains to be seen, however, whether or not the Taiwan government is ready to scale up to govern the mainland.
