| What are the main risks? | Corruption and cronyism, concentration of power through anti-corruption campaigns, repression of dissent, and inequality linked to access to party-state networks. | Unknown |
This illustrates differences in design; it is not a universal claim about outcomes. Each cell links to mechanisms and the claims behind them.
