That maybe so, but most of the present day expensive tech, like F-35s or the drones, or the missiles, need access to proprietary USian software bundles. Even if the client country gets to keep compiled binaries in air gapped private networks and make it work, they're still running a losing race being cut off from updates.
The news about the pilot is correct. Xi Jinping had been pushing for it for a long time and this is all he has been able to get so far. He is strongly against speculative growth of real estate.
AFAIK residents don't have to compete to renew the lease. We have seen the first batches of leases expiring in recent times and no one got evicted. What I understand is that, you can't sell your house after the lease expires, but you can continue living their indefinitely till the building crumbles. If the government decides to demolish and redevelop, then they give you a new house in the same place.

Very interesting history. Especially for me since India went through very similar societal transformations.

It's just that, this didn't happen over millenia but during the few centuries of British colonial rule.
There's plenty of Russia and China criticism even on the political comms
