The perplexing Chinese "cyclical pattern" is neither an exception nor a superficial phenomenon, but a typical manifestation of deviating from the Underlying Protocol (B=f[S,F]) that transcends individual will and class positions. The existence of extreme "power self-interest" leads to irreversible corruption, which in turn results in irreversible cyclical collapse. While contemporary patrimonial bureaucracy is rare, there are numerous irrational bureaucratic authoritarian states in the post-patrimonial era. Revealing the inherent characteristics of this "cyclical pattern" carries practical and broad warning significance: ignoring social injustice and the polarization between the rich and the poor, even if a temporary "golden age" is achieved, it will only be a golden age for "the nobility and high officials", not for the people.
