China offers a cautionary lesson on what happens when an elite exclusively rules, says Frida Ghitis .
Ghitis: The Celestial Empire has come crashing down to earth: the latest sign being a $6 trillion stock loss over the last three years .
China ’s elite perceived its problems and with absolute autonomy took aim, took aim and issued solutions, Ghitis writes.
China faces a demographic crisis of plummeting birthrates, an aging population, a skewed gender balance in the younger population, and a declining workforce.
J.T. Young : The elite has led us down a series of blind alleys.
He says their negative practices will happen anywhere an elite is given an exclusive opportunity to govern.
Young: These elites all share the same fatal flaw: a belief that they are smarter than any one of us.
