   A pattern that some large western corporations seem to be following themselves   
   if no to the same degree just look at the mess Microsoft has made of Xbox.   
   Hasbero seems dead set on destroying their profitable D&D business by   
   alienating their customers, Disney stream services are struggling...   
      
   Loosing touch with your market/customers/people doesn't end well.

   It looks like a fine mess. The regional funding model is particularly broken,   
   being primarily driven by LGFVs that borrow money to finance real estate   
   development & infrastructure projects. Real estate development in china is not   
   going well at the moment leaving many local governments in a mountain of debt.   
      
   It will be interesting to see how the CCP intervenes to "fix" this and what   
   wider repercussions this intervention will have.
