On August 5, Dexter Tiff Roberts was quoted in an article in The Diplomat that discussed new Chinese regulations across its education and technology industries, highlighting the trend of China’s public sector replacing its private sector as the CCP’s key economic priority as it seeks to ensure internal stability. Roberts argues that, “while the importance of the private sector to China’s economy has not lessened, its status in the eyes of China’s top officials has undergone a real downgrading in recent years, and earlier efforts to make a fairer playing field have stalled.”
