In the US suicide nets at work aren't needed because aggrieved workers can just let out a little steam by bringing a gun to work and murdering a few of their colleagues before offing themselves

If its okay to pretend that Xi is a amazing chad male who never does anything wrong, and just so happens to be a perfect communist despite having factories with conditions so great that we need nets to prevent them from killing themselves, then provide a source that proofs the killings were america's fault, and that china has never done anything like this to any person.

When a crisis came, the PRC sacrificed economic growth for the long term health of it's people. The West half assed everything and tried to pass the blame on the third world when the Omnicron variant was detected. On an aggregate, the PRC is responsive to it's citizenry in a way that the most advanced liberal capitalist democracies are not. Yes, the PRC as it exists now is a harsh capitalist landscape but the CPC literally stopped economic growth to preserve the life of it's people.

why are you encouraging him

Because these people are defending an country that has been proven to be awful to many of its citizens time and time again by using the tactics that were used to defend imperialistic countries such as britian and america in the past, even if China is genociding culture at our doorstep.

Literally the fact that there's no elections should be proof of that alone. But sure. It's perfect, and don't ask for sources. Don't ask how Tibet is treated in the MODERN day, they were a dictatorship back then, therefore that must mean they're a utopia now, right?

Re:Tibet, the CPC still treats Tibet poorly and saying "well, the theocratic government was evil, therefore NOTHING IS WRONG," is like saying that the american rape of the Natives is justified because some of them used slaves. Education is still bad, working conditions are still poor, many Tibetans are forced to work as poorly paid labors by western hikers to make a buck, their freedom of speech is greatly restricted, not to mention the environment there is getting worse due to them building factories there that provide smoke and fog. They went from cow poo poo to dog poo poo. Both suck, one is clearly an bigger improvement, but they still could be treated better.

Stop loving defending a dictatorship. End of story.

And Marx was very adament about worker conditions, he wouldn't have tolierated the decision to let apple abuse their workers to near death there.

BEIJING, April 1, 2022— Over the past 40 years, the number of people in China with incomes below $1.90 per day – the International Poverty Line as defined by the World Bank to track global extreme poverty– has fallen by close to 800 million. With this, China has contributed close to three-quarters of the global reduction in the number of people living in extreme poverty. At China’s current national poverty line, the number of poor fell by 770 million over the same period.

Please stop loving pretending cpc is communist. Why would they let apple and other loving companies ruin the environment on their lawn? Why the gently caress are there mass protests of women in painted blood? Why the gently caress are people who video game too much forced into camps where they're treated horribly in the name of "curing them".

Technically I've never said I was an Anarchist, I don't even loving consider myself one. I just pointed out that as an example of someone who wouldn't be a liberal that would hate the cpc. loving China is full of rich ceos all the time, that isn't marxism.

I mean...being real here does anyone have any shakeups in their elections on record? Like if you can point out an election and an administrative reason the candidates were different, and some hard evidence that one or the other could have been elected (like if candidates had been elected before with those types of policies) that'd be something, but I don't think they matter much more in China than here do they?

It also censored any form of political expression, or news sources that didn't come from the cpc, or other form of self expression CONVIENTLY at the same loving time.
