I don’t respect any authoritarian but I appreciate that China at least has some leverage over their billionaires
We need a state with a certain amount of authority if we want to prevent those billionaires to become the authoritarians, though.
Ditto. China is presenting an alternative to liberal democracy, and I’m afraid they might have a chance at propagating it to the rest of the world if this continues.
liberal democracy
You misspelled capitalist dictatorship
No, letting people “choose” between two genocidal imperialists every few years isn’t “democracy”. China has far more of an actual democracy than western countries.
As if there isn’t one party ruling China for 70 years, lol. And as if China wasn’t doing their own genocide on Uyghurs and Tibetans. And sure, tell me China isn’t doing anything egregious.

“Shut up! We are no longer talking about it! So why do you remember? Pay attention to somewhere else so we can continue with our own oppression!”
A tankie everyone.

Nope, but it is interesting to see the difference between how a capitalist gov and a socialist gov handle a real estate crisis
