  • I guess one thing about capitalist ghouls is that they will work with everyone for money

    • Hence, one of the reasons why the "real capitalism" that ancaps and libertarians talk about has never been tried.

      • Those people are mostly just butthurt they aren't the beneficiaries of such "cronyism" and think themselves smarter than everyone else, just less well connected. It's the reason all the ancaps in that hbo documentary with an alias go by John Galt.

  • Can't access the article but i think its complete bullshit, i really doubt they had any influence in China's internal economy policies lmao.

    • Yeah my bet is that the think tank just waved a some paper at them completely unsolicited and got ignored, which is enough for them to say they totally are top advisers

      • its also pretty racist to even consider it: "Such primitive people can't possibly figure out their national interests, we the civilized west must've advised them"

  • McKinsey: The Urban China Initiative was a non-profit initiative co-founded in 2011 with Columbia University and Tsinghua University. The Urban China Initiative is not McKinsey, and it did not perform work on McKinsey’s behalf. To our knowledge, McKinsey was not compensated for any UCI-related research or initiatives.

    The decade-old report described in a recent news article was not authored by McKinsey and is not McKinsey work.

    As we have stated previously: The central government of China is not, and to our knowledge has never been, a client of McKinsey. Our client work in China is overwhelmingly for U.S., multinational and Chinese private sector entities.

    We reject efforts to use a document McKinsey didn’t write and work we didn’t do to call into question our 75-year history of supporting the US government. We stand by our previous statement and our commitments to US clients.
