I wouldn't be "Oppressed" in China because I like the Communist Party Of China. So the question really is gibberish.

China under the CCP is more capitalist today than the US.

Yup, so Horselord isn't a true scotsman communist.
He's a living Che t-shirt.

"hey guys! China is capitalist now! They're full free market and everything! Clearly they're not real communists at all"

-factory workers regularly kidnap bosses in wage disputes, police do nothing
-CPC has heavy control over all businesses, enacts five year plans
-businessmen who go against the party are snatched off the street by CPC murder vans
-Over half the economy is SOEs
-CPC ideology solidly marxist

Makes sense. Actually I'm glad you're stupid enough to think this, the Chinese model of development is heavily reliant on westerners thinking they're capitalists. If you actually bothered to understand that they're running a heavily controlled unfree market to accelerate development, which they intend to end when it has exhausted itself, then you wouldn't participate. You're selling them the rope, morons.

Actually it's kind of funny because this development model is already something they're transitioning out of. But you'll never grasp this because you're too busy trying to analyze them through the lens of a western capitalist multiparty democracy, pronouncing the imminent start of the Chinese recession(tm) every day for decades. This is the exact kind of delusion westerners had about Lenin's NEP.

Now do one defending North Korea.

Perhaps they should start by blowing up the poachers and polluters that wrecked the economy, thus leading to piracy.

Well too bad because military repression already did the job. In March there was the 1(one) succesful hijacking since 3 years.

Of course the vessel was a illegal fishing trawler, operated by the evil capitalist west Iran.
