There is indeed much that America can learn from China. But perhaps the most important lesson is to stay true to who we are as a nation. That’s what China did. It adopted aspects of the American way that would make it strong again, while sticking to its core system of Communist Party political domination and heavy state involvement in everything. And it has been spectacularly successful. Trump’s America, on the other hand, is beginning to seem as if it’s taking cues from China’s political model. That’s not who we are.<

I think this is my favourite part

Of course not. Because to make it work, the US would need a Communist Party that isn't totally useless. And no one who lived through the Cold War is going to allow that to happen.
