La Libertad Avanza and Xi-era CCP
Measured distance across six axes
Different families with real common ground. They agree within three points on CU. They diverge by eight points or more on EC, SC.
Axis by axis
| Axis | Milei | Xi-era CCP | Gap | Reading | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EC · Economic organisation | +10 | −02 | 12 | Diverges | Carries the disagreement. Any claim that these two are alike has to explain this. |
| CU · Social and cultural order | +06 | +08 | 2 | Agrees | Effectively the same position. Not what an argument between them is about. |
| AU · Organisation of power | +04 | +10 | 6 | Differs | Real difference, but not the dividing line. |
| SC · Scale of decision | 00 | +10 | 10 | Diverges | Carries the disagreement. Any claim that these two are alike has to explain this. |
| ID · Rule of membership | +03 | +07 | 4 | Differs | Real difference, but not the dividing line. |
| CH · Method and tempo | +03 | −02 | 5 | Differs | Real difference, but not the dividing line. |
Each axis runs from −10 to +10; the distance is the straight-line separation across all six at once, out of a maximum of 49.0. How the scoring works →
The evidence behind the widest gaps
A distance figure is worth nothing unless the scores behind it can be checked. These are the artefacts supporting the axes that separate these two most.
Milei · EC +10
The most market-oriented sitting government in the dataset.
- Documented act or statuteThe December 2023 emergency decree repealed or amended over three hundred regulations at once.
- Documented act or statuteMinistries were reduced from eighteen to nine and public employment cut sharply.
Xi-era CCP · EC −02
Most output and employment are private, but party committees sit inside firms and strategic sectors are state-held. Coded just left of centre.
- Comparative datasetPrivate firms account for the large majority of urban employment and of new job creation.
- Documented act or statuteThe 2018 company law revision required party organisations inside firms above a size threshold.
Milei · SC 00
Coded at zero: federal transfers cut sharply, which decentralises fiscally and centralises power.
- Documented act or statuteDiscretionary transfers to provinces were reduced or halted in 2024.
Xi-era CCP · SC +10
At the ceiling: village elections curtailed, Hong Kong's separate system dismantled, autonomy in Xinjiang and Tibet nominal.
- Documented act or statuteThe 2020 national security law and 2021 electoral overhaul ended Hong Kong's separate political system.
What this comparison does not establish
Proximity means similarity of stated position. It carries no claim about competence, circumstance, scale of operation, or what either organisation actually did to the people under it. Two organisations can sit close together and produce entirely different histories, because those things are not on any axis and could not be.
La Libertad Avanza
2021– · Argentina
Radical reduction of the state, dollarisation, and a declared war on the political caste.
Xi-era CCP
2012– · China
Party leadership over everything, national rejuvenation, common prosperity, and discipline of private capital.
Distance is not the whole answer. Two organisations can sit the same distance apart for entirely different reasons, and the reason is the content of any claim about them. Open the comparison in the atlas to weight the axes yourself.
