I don't see any experience or knowledge on China and the Chinese, though. As @mindslight points out the angles in his argument are odd.

I should have written "They seem to have knowledge" as "They appear to be competent in the field of anthropology." I was not implying that they are knowledgeable of the situation they are describing.

It's an interesting prediction, but the author goes off the rails in the middle with a self-hating fascist talking point ("Authoritarian governments just want workers; they don't need welfare recipients to vote as instructed."). This casts doubt on the underlying motivation of the analysis, regardless if it was just marketing for what's in vogue or whether he's a true believer.
