Michael Bloomberg is running for the Democratic nomination for president of the United States, and there could not be a worse choice.
The business of the New York City billionaire (yes, another one) gets significant revenue from its financial and data services in China. He is deeply enmeshed with that country’s business and government networks, and it shows.
Bloomberg claimed in September, on a PBS show, that Chinese leader “Xi Jinping is not a dictator. He has to satisfy his constituents or he’s not going to survive.” Bloomberg said, “even in governments that are not what we would call a democracy, there are lots of stakeholders with vested interests, and they have an impact.”
Bloomberg all but admits that China is not a democracy. So, what is it if not a dictatorship? A stakeocracy? Vestocracy? Bloomberg is breaking new ground in political science. But he will find his patch to be very rocky terrain.
What should not be in doubt is precisely what Bloomberg denies.
