Imagine being proud of your country. Damn, must feel good.
Itโs all aesthetics bro, china is capitalist.
Always the weirdest of ultra arguments. If they are really just โcapitalistโ or โstate capitalistโ or whatever, why do they still pretend to be socialist? Why would they want to cause unnecessary friction with the US? They get no benefit from pretending to be socialist, except that maybe a lot of elderly people would be mad if they announced they were capitalist.
To play devilโs advocate, maybe the same reason the US claims to be democratic?
I suppose it could be (and I guess that would be their angle), but the people of China (as far as I understand) arenโt super devoted to communism and so it seems strange to push it so hard, itโs not like how Americans are religiously obsessed with their democracy.
Plus it still runs into the same problem as before, it would just cause unnecessary friction around the world for them to claim the label of socialist, and historically, socialist powers have had no problem fighting and arguing amongst themselves (Look at the SIno-Soviet split or China/Vietnam relations for that)
I think I have heard a similar argument before though, itโs to โtrick the peopleโ which treats Chinese people as lacking agency and is very western chauvinist, like all western arguments.
Not a bad attempt though. Always a good idea to try and understand an argument against our position rather than just dismissing it out of hand. We could be wrong, and China could be an evil state capitalist social imperialist hellhole that lies to the world to trick gullible MLs intoโฆuhhโฆvague support on internet forums.
now iโve never used a sickle in my life but every time i see the Chinese hammer & sickle, i think: thatโs a really impractical handle on that sickle.
every other hamsic has a decent rectangular handle, but the CPC just has a little nub. what gives
The handle is normal size. Itโs just a really big sickle made of a space age lightweight material to be more efficient.
Is there a place I can inquire about careers in China?
Ok the solar farm one is a gigantic flex. Each one of those mirrors had to be programmed or manually adjusted to make that possible.
