If China decided to implement a wage or wealth cap down the line, I wouldn't use that as a reason to object to their economic project. Plus, they have access to more economic data than we do and would be better able to identify the consequences of implementing one.
Just because I’m not against a wage cap doesn’t mean I am obsessed with the idea of implementing one. A wage cap is just a form of taxation, it does little to nothing to address societal problems relating to relations of production and distribution. What is important to me is that China maintains the socialist road and continues to iteratively improve, not whether or not it picks a different tax structure.
I'm just curious on what amount of wealth would be too much for a single person to hoard, in your opinion. No limit, some limit, etc
