You live in the US, how are you not being bribed to think the way you do?

You’re such a redditor

It’s also kinda hard to have 99% of people dislike China if 18% of the global population lives there and is very satisfied with their government, not even counting anyone in Russia, other parts of Asia and the Pacific, Central and South America, or Africa.

You’re really showing whose opinions you actually care about. A bunch of propagandized to the brim, comfortable Americans, Canadians, and Europeans

He’s very well trained in a few fighting styles, perks of having unlimited money and the time and space to dedicate to it. Hopefully he can try to balance the scales of all the wrong he’s done to the world by X’ing out Musk

Time for you to go make friends with the fascists and shitlibs who share your opinions I guess

So I gather that the relatively few dissidents in mainstream media is how you decide that there is excessive repression? Could it be that so many in China approve of their government that there just aren’t many dissidents and those who do speak out aren’t covered in the media you consume unless they face consequences?

As far as minorities, there has been progress for the LGBTQ+ community as well as religious minorities and other races. Could it be better and faster? Certainly, but that doesn’t mean it’s not happening or they are regressing.

As far as whether they are progressing towards socialism, if you believe Marx and Lenin, state capitalism is a necessary step towards communism and is generally accepted as ‘socialism’. What do you then classify as socialism?

Dogmatism and ideological purity are blinding you. It certainly should be a conversation about why billionaires exist in China, especially as they strengthen their safeguards against capital flight, but their existence alone does not discredit the great strides of progress China has made under SwCC in under a century. There are few examples of such a large mass of people seeing such substantive improvements in their lives. No matter the system, such dramatic change will result in unforseen consequences because there is so much change occuring. The measure of the response though is what is important: protecting themselves from capital flight, placing party leadership within corporations, focusing on carbon reduction through reduced pollution, tree planting, and alternative energy sources are all measurable ways the government is correcting. Where else do you see such response by those in power for their citizens? The Chinese approval for their government is incredibly high, and this is why

Do you think if the Cuban revolution had somehow actually happened in China it would have progressed as it had in Cuba?

Accomplishing rapid growth in the quality of life for hundreds of millions of people is a much different task than doing it for a few million and in a mass of land much larger while located such that it cannot be blockaded and pushed around by the US.

Why is it that you cannot critically support the Chinese struggle for socialism?

You would not meet much overt disagreement in saying that the situation of workers in factories is something that must be improved or that there might be questions of state control or rigidity with regards to Uyghurs or LGBTQ+ people. The difference is you seem to ignore why these things may be occuring or dismiss the many achievements of the revolution thus far because there are still areas requiring attention. It is clear that the situation for these groups are improving as well, both as a part of the entire Chinese economy and in their individual qualities of life while the same cannot be said for many people of the world.

If you support the Cuban revolution and its government, what do you consider different between them and the CPC?

Genuine question because Fidel at one point endorsed anti gay policy, Cubans suffer in their country just as Chinese do in theirs. Is it purely a belief in ‘authoritarianism’ in China?

Or to put it differently, what would have to happen in China for you to believe it is progressing towards socialism?

Damn where is America imprisoning and executing billionaires alongside harsh anti corruption campaigns in the government, maybe I’ll move there
