Yeah you're right, this is not really that rigorous

That graph is interesting but I think it's beside the point for this discussion. The question is not the level of income inequality but which families occupy the high status positions/accumulate the most wealth in a given society. In the case of China, 'elite' simply refers to the families that had status/wealth before the Cultural Revolution, lost it for a generation during the CR, and somehow got it back a generation afterwards.

Why BLM and the statistics book?

This kinda sounds like BS. Article doesn't mention economic relations changing. If China is still Israel's second or third largest trading partner, can one really say they are burning all their bridges?

and there is not a community of people for you to fall back on in times of need.

Doesn't family fit this role for many people?

I welcome this, actually. More people should learn the distinction between liberals and leftists
