lol well sorry about mischaractarization there. That said, my original point was that you absolutely do need a stable economy to do large scale development. You might be able to get short term gains with an unstable economy, but doing things like building mass rail infrastructure or developing chips domestically requires stability. What you're saying is that you can have a Potemkin village, but it's clear that it's not the case with China hence the meme makes perfect sense.
