Xi Jinping and Donald Trump are authoritarians failing at their promise for growth

The Invidia Huang Silicon Valley story makes clear how important free and open expression is to the creative process and how authoritarians such as Xi Jinping of China effort to control the press and Donald Trump's effort to reduce immigration throw cold water on hot economic growth. China's government has a pact with its people to grow the economy at a high rate and float more boats.  It's the same pack Trump appears to have made with his supporters. In both cases they are failing and momentum has not yet made their failure apparent.
