You are being obtuse
“jobs” isn’t a good unit to measure economy.

Some jobs make value, like miners and factory workers. These are super essential. But, they’ll hit a wall in demand unless the value they create can extend to broader markets.

So there’s a layer of service that’s massively important and allows for things to operate at efficient scale.

After a point, we’re just creating jobs so people can validate their existence. After a point, jobs just get floated by the largesse of the core economy.

If you lose the manufacturing, that nearest layer of efficiency multiplying service starts dying. See: railroads

The efficiency remaining is now distributing products that come from outside of our system and represent net losses. Things rot
 
So just like every other communist leader then.
Oddly yes. But a lot of modern Chinese communism post mao has funnily Enough dismissed Mao. A lot of Chinese communism is mixed heavily with nationalism that spans centuries back, Mao seemed to hate this though. So the modern communism of China has to praise Mao as a great revolutionary whilst also dismissing and undoing everything he did.
 
Confucian thought cannot handle chaos. Americans tend to be chaotic. It's an old joke that Americans didn't read the doctrine manual.
This is the funniest part of all of our recent successes. They were all preplanned and executed, but where the USA and its population really shine is when we have to rapidly adapt and overcome. So this is dominant display isn't even indicative of our actual warfighting prowess.

Trump is an unstable person which would normally be a bad thing but ironically is probably his greatest strength.

It is almost impossible to predict what this man is going to do next and that scares the shit out of our enemies.
 

Lord Twattleston Fagmire doesn’t want to talk about how England didn’t want us to use Diego Garcia
 
Doesn't the CCP ban Confucianism along with every other religion?
Progressively rehabilitated under Xi's reign. It's a doctrine of essentially blind, pro forma obedience to authority to replicate the conditions of an idealized patriarchy fractally throughout society, which really aligns with the actual structure and function of the party and democratic centralism. Even if Mao hated it, he couldn't escape being trained in Confucianism and reproducing it.
 
Some righties think of militaries and lawful paramilitaries as inherently /ourguys/—awaiting our orders, if only they'd ever come!—and some know better.
There are a worrying number of people who can't differentiate baseline necessary enforcement and glazing people who will level the gun at whoever they're told to.
Massie got an award from a Soros backed Iranian lobbyist named Trita Parsi who doesn't have US citizenship and is only here on a green card.:

Mao was an opportunistic bald piece of shit that raped his own country because his schoolteachers were mean to him.

The only reason China didn't completely collapse in on itself like a black hole is because of Deng Xiaoping basically realizing "oh fuck we need capitalism now now now NOW NOW!"

Imagine wanting your country to kill sparrows, because they're pests, when sparrows eat the real pests that destroy your crops. Then again, communists were never good at ecology, or anything biology related, so 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️
