>儒洲 First time I heard this, it's actually quite a nice term.
basically what this guy said it's the same old China, now with a Marxist veneer on top
there's a sizable number of bureaucrats in Beijing right now whose parents and grandparents etc all worked in the equivalent ministry, all the way to the Qing dynasty.
there is some truth to the cliche that china is a civilization pretending to be a nation state
at least the CCP sees itself as the savior of the Chinese civilization
