Chinese politicians often avoid mentioning the empire and refrain from considering social and economic issues from an imperial perspective. The imperial path is the only way to solve China’s practical problems, especially those based on economics, costs, normal profit margins, supporting the people, reducing public resentment, resisting external plunder, and opposing authoritarian exploitation. Before establishing a power structure (the outward framework of an empire), any “shortcut” is unsustainable and unsustainable . This is because the power to set rules is in the hands of others; the strongest capital forces do not support you (capital must exist within a power framework, with politics and capital forming a dual authority); and the power to adjudicate economic matters is in the hands of others. You may work hard for 10 years, but someone can easily steal your profits by changing the rules. With a little instigation, outsiders can plunder your interests. With a little provocation, your former friends can demand exorbitant prices. If you try to govern through finance, capital will inevitably strip you of your independent decision-making power. If you try to introduce easily controllable, scattered foreign capital, it will inevitably affect your organizational capabilities and domestic stability. If you only cultivate the imperial core with “internal friction costs,” the imperial core cannot develop in the long term and will inevitably shrink. Without the “external framework of the empire” to support the “imperial core,” the imperial core cannot be maintained normally at all.
