What was done, with the money from 25 years of economic boom? The CCP spent it on:
- aircraft carriers
- building artificial islands
- nuclear weapons
- an expanding space programme
- a vast, espionage network
- building cyber armies
- hypersonic missiles
- overseas Confucian Institutes
- overseas police stations
- border clashes (India, Japan... etc.)
- a "Xi Jinping Thought" programme
- oppression of ethnic minorities
- incarcerating a million plus Uyghurs
- bullying other countries
- constructing scores of ghost cities
- building largely unused, rail/bridge projects
- cracking down on tuition schools
- increasing comodity costs by "punishing" Australia
- supporting Putin's greedy war
- unsuccessfully, bullying Lithuania
- millions of spy cameras with facial recognition technology
- tracking/monitoring a billion+ Chinese phones
- hosting Winter & Summer Olympics
...but now, they won't spend to support their youth! The one child policy and cultural traditions, mean these kids will eventually, each support up to 2 parents & 4 grandparents. Meanwhile, wealthy senior party members, disappear overseas, with ill-gotten gains.
In an authoritarian society, there is only one entity to blame, when things go wrong.
