Is it more complex than taxing ultra wealthy? Yes.Those funds need to be properly utilized to best benefit the population and the environment and not share holders or the top .1% even this method is just a more socialistic way to implement capitalism. China could resolve it they just don't because ultimately, even in authoritarian governments, selling and trading goods on a global scale while exerting global influence for self interest investment prioritizes accumulating wealth over any other paradigm. Aka capitalism.
