They may rate it that way, but China is still an authoritarian cencorious government. I’m sure the Uigars wouldn’t rate the Chinese government very highly. Not saying the US government is great, but the Chinese government is more worrying.

I think this one comment alone filled a bunch of the lib bingo boxes.

I think “using big words they don’t understand to sound smart” was probably one of the squares missing from it tbh. They love have a proclivitic tendancy for doing that.

It’s funny how you’re criticising me with something that the US doesn’t do, but China does. Don’t make it sound like I’m in support of the US, I wouldn’t want to live there. Probably would want to live in Sweden. But I also wouldn’t want to live in China, for different reasons. It seems like just because China claims it’s ‘socialist’, you think it must treat its citizens well. I’m all in support of true socialism. But China just uses ‘socialism’ or communism as a method to oppress, control, monitor and censor its citizens.

You can tell China doesn’t care about its people by the fact that they did zero covid for months and delivered groceries to everybody, as opposed to the enlightened and humane west, which let that shit rip and killed everyone’s grandma to make line go up

The US absolutely does credit score, without it you can’t take a loan to buy a car or a house and many other things. It is weird that you don’t know this…

China is developing socialism, they are in the primary stage of socialism. Developing socialism is a long-term arduous process, it is not a state of mind. I recommend you reading the Governance of china by Xi Jingping, the general secretary of the CPC, it is a collection of essays and speeches by Xi with a very rich reference section, where a lot of concepts are clearly explained.

China’s economy did not get to this point by exploiting global south countries like Europe/US did, they did it by developing their own productive forces, especially after the ‘Reform and opening-up’, accepting foreign investment to learn from it and modernize the country. They did not let foreign investment run rampant, they had strict conditions that foreign investors had to follow. This is why they are constantly called authoritarian, because they did not let foreign investors run rampart.

Living, and thus working, conditions in China were terrible (and are in many places still) precisely because they were a backwards country that endured decades off exploitation by other countries. But the conditions of the people of china have been getting better and better exponentially since the opening up reform, this is simply a material reality not ‘ccp propaganda’.

Sweden is not ‘true socialism’, it is a late-stage capitalist country; an imperialist country, a country where finance capital rules. Their wealth comes from the exploitation of the global south mainly through the finance system (predatory loans to global south countries, extracting rent forever and ever), like all other european countries.

I’m curious what your idea of “true socialism” is 🤔 In contrast, is “true capitalism” a thing? I’m just asking questions.

Oh, you’re a “Sweden is real socialism” kind of person. You posted cringe. Also capitalists and western nonsense are censored. It’s time to give up the spiritual opium, bro.

You think the decaying capitalist military empire with a nuclear first-strike policy who’s upper military ranks are all Christian fundamentalist psychos is less worrying?

America is on the downswing, hard, and China is pulling further and further ahead as it is. Who do you think has more to gain by doing something crazy to distrupt such an arrangement? America, like all empires before it, has never taken well to humiliation, and is already halfway through going fash. I don’t think you give enough credit to just how ugly we get when the illusion of fineness becomes impossiboe to maintain.
