Meyrick, that was a very long-winded explanation of the fact that the rich will do what they can to ensure they stay rich, be it influencing the government or attacking other nations. and it would be a mistake to believe that the rich in China behave any differently in my view.

You are right it is long-winded - probably because it takes effort satisfactorily to convince myself. I am not sure you are right about the rich in China. Unlike in the West, the Chinese wealthy are tolerated only as long as they accept government tutelege - they'll accede to threats, such as becoming unwealthy, for fear of something worse.
