i see it as a kind of exploratory, low-pressure diplomacy with kissinger acting as intermediary to gauge where china is at and where they see the situation going and vice-versa

in all fairness

pretty much. this is peak reach out to the west season because of the big import expo and the anniversary of reform and opening-up. you're gonna see a lot of this kind of stuff for the rest of the year, even without the trade war.

Mao's mistake was trying to implement socialism before capitalism when Marx clearly said it had to go feudalism->capitalism->socialism, therefore the fastest way to build socialism in africa is by building capitalism in africa

don't be stupid, though i know that's your default mode. it's entirely possible it happened, but it's not like this was because they were marxists. there exists a network of apparatuses by which workers can redress grievances and petition for better pay or conditions, one of which is the official union. organizing outside this structure is frowned upon just like it was in socialist poland, and it's not a mystery why china would see that particular case and be wary of "independent" labor unions.

the other thing to keep in mind is isolated cases like these get outsized coverage by western media, who are obviously not genuinely anti-capitalist or pro-worker, as a means of dividing groups who might otherwise be supportive of us targets like china. the chinese labor force has hundreds of millions of people, but we're supposed to think this one small group is representative of workers as a whole.

Before Deng, there were many imperfections with socialism, Dengism largely corrected the 30% bad parts of Maoism and adopted Socialism to China's unique national, historical and material circumstances. Comrade Xi is building upon both Mao and Deng to lead Socialism into the 21st century.

I agree, the Communist party and the 中华全国总工会 (all-china federation of trade unions); are already sufficiently protecting worker's rights in China, independent labor movements are redundant, a waste of resources, makes it more difficult to protect workers, and are potential entry points for revisionist thoughts and western imperialist agents.
