What are you talking about? Glorious People’s Republic of China has never executed anyone. In fact, nobody ever dies in China at all!

Sorry, this site is full of sympathizers so I’m just trying to fit in.

And that’s the lower end.

I don’t get people who defend China. Even if you were are hardcore communist. It’s not a communism. It’s a totalitarian government.

To be fair to the tankies (I know, I know), China’s dictatorship has pulled a lot of people out of poverty. It doesn’t make their wrongs ok, and it doesn’t make them communists, but it does explain why people desperate to see a liberatory alternative to capitalism see China as a possibility (through motivated reasoning and a squint).

China still has drastic poverty. Don’t buy the party line. I’ve had friends who lived in China. You have the wealthy and the extreme poor. It isn’t a place I’d want to emulate. To me it’s very dystopian. People being paid slave wages, working 18 hours a day and living in dorms. No thank you.
