I like to say having a strong centralized governments has its pros and cons. It allows things to get done on if the government focuses on it(e.g Covid Vaccination development and speed), but on the flip side, if the government chooses to hinder it, then anyone related would heavily be affected (e.g the recent bankruptcy of Evergrand) which more or less hurt anyone who invested money into it, something a good chunk of citizens do (as many invest in housing, be it local, or internationally)
