A cautionary note

 From an op-ed about U.S.–China relation in Deutsche Welle

Productivity in China is no longer rising. In Xi's surveillance state, it is loyalty that counts, not competence, and people who live in constant fear of saying or doing the wrong thing cannot be drivers of innovation.

[Emphasis mine.]

[Deutsche Welle is one of the most consequential newspapers in Europe and provides an excellent English edition, here. It's also available in a number of other languages.]
