I dont see how ive backtracked. There are ccp elites, and dont really appear at all in forbes' data because they can simply state "this belongs to the country" and poof no asset count against an individual. Doesn't make the ccp less of an elite group, esp. The core hundreds that have real authority. If anything, it shows them as a more endangered minority if the majority en masse acted against them.

Again, presuming a western societal value system can be applied globally not only forces a huge bias to westerners being the majority of the 1% (and thus forcing the data to a more eurocentric ethnicity), it ignores the ways socialism creates elites and how it identifies them. Hint: its not via asset value.

Also im not sure how it is wrong to say there more total elites in the 1% of china than the 1% of america even if the american ones have more total wealth than the chinese.
