A Chinese programmer died in hospital after fainting while working at home late last year.Gao Guanghui (transliterated), 32, allegedly died of cardiac arrest, leading his family to believe that he died from overwork.According to Chinese media, he was promoted to department manager recently and had consistently been working long hours prior to his death.In addition to programming tasks, he was...
China produced more billionaires than the US this year. The only way they accomplished this is to allow unfettered capitalism which is very evident. There is no going back and the billionaires will be calling the shots before to long. They are just another fascist nation at this point and the fourth/fifth largest producer of weapons to boot.
Nah…Jack Ma tried to fuck around with government and they shut him down.
Oh you mean one wealthy person tried to fuck with other wealthy people’s money? I don’t think this example is what you think it is. Old money versus new money conflicts are pretty common and Jack found that out the hard way.
The difference between Chinese billionaires and American billionaires is that the Chinese ones are owned by the government. To set up any company in China requires part government ownership of, I think, 15%.
There is no way the billionaires are calling the shots, ever, while Xi is in power. As if he would allow what’s happening in America, happen in China.
Remember what happened to the CEO of Alibaba? Jack Ma? When he became rich enough to potentially take over the country?
Much like Putin and the Russian oligarchy, who they either play with him or be shown the window.
Lol sure, they won’t be calling the shots. I think you forget how capitalism works.
What happens when there are a thousand billionaires? The government is not going to round them all up. Naw, they are going to call the shots.
Already corporations keep getting more and more regulations and laws written at their request. It is already happening and will continue to accelerate.
Welcome to the fascist world.
But China isn’t a crony capitalist country like America. The money is set up to always favour the government over there.
Things are the way they are in places like America because the government exists because of the billionaires (bribery, lobbying etc). In places like China, the billionaires exist because of the government (surveillance, prison sentences etc). This is most likely because Xi is driven by ideology, not greed.
The only way for the billionaires to take over China at the moment is to come together and start their own army to go to war. No way that’s going to happen because wars are a drain on capital.
China is controlled by a group of wealthy elite people. The wealthy people don’t need to make an army to take control just like the wealthy people of the US don’t. You seem to be confused about how things really work.
I am sure there are interesting power dynamics between old and new wealth in China just like the US. As their wealthy class explodes so will their their proxies the corporation thus increasing their power to lobby. The fascist cycle repeats.

So uh, did this guy who died get what he needed while he literally worked himself to death?
No? Oh. To each according to their needs huh?
I don’t really mind much of what Marx wrote in theory, but it actually has to work in practice first.
I am sorry, but I don’t buy into any of this competition nonsense. The simple fact is China is great because of the US not despite it. They are number one trading partners and along with Russia make up the new “petro alliance”. It is pretty obvious what has happened really.
Nations are no longer in control, I won’t pretend China is any different at this point. A bunch of corporations calling the shots with decorations of communism or democracy. Propaganda used to convince people the government is more than a puppet to the wealthy at this point.

Oh please China is a dictatorship, not communist or socialist. Just like the USA is not really a democracy, but a fascist oligarchy. There is a huge difference between what a nation says it is and what it actually is.
They are our “enemy” but also one of our favorite trading partners. US citizens have invested a ridiculous amount of money into China just like every country. China is great because of the US not despite it.
You have chosen the path of eating up propaganda and regurgitating it without realizing. With no critical lense you just believe whatever information they offer up to you. Everything you write must be satire I guess.
