        Bruh it’s .ml get out there is no reasoning with these people China is utopia that can do no wrong. They don’t want to have meaningful discussions in here its a big circlejerk for Stalin and Mao and submitting to authority. They are not revolutionaries and they did not get to this point in their lives by using actual logic

          So not accepting exaggerated narratives means China is a utopia? Why do people rarely offer ordinary, policy-level criticism? There is plenty of it, but discussion often defaults to cartoonish claims instead of routine institutional analysis.

          Where is the discussion of the hukou household registration system and its trade-offs?

          Where is the discussion of local government reliance on land-use financing?

          Where is the discussion of provincial policy experimentation and uneven implementation?

          Where is the discussion of state-owned enterprises and their structural advantages and drawbacks?

          Where is the discussion of demographic policy after the one-child era?

          Where is the discussion of regional inequality between coastal and interior provinces?

          Where is the discussion of the property sector’s role in household wealth and local budgets?

          Where is the discussion of debt accumulation among provincial financing vehicles?

          Where is the discussion of administrative campaign-style governance and its policy side effects?

          Where is the discussion of bureaucratic incentives within the cadre evaluation system?

          Where is the discussion of industrial policy prioritization and capital allocation?

          Where is the discussion of urban planning constraints produced by internal migration controls?

          Where is the discussion of education access differences tied to household registration?

          Where is the discussion of long-term pension sustainability in an aging population?

          I know where they are, in China because none of you know enough about China to have a proper discussion on any of these. All you know is spouting ridiculous talking points.

          China isn’t a utopia, and does have problems. China’s problems are real, though, not invented, so discussion of China’s issues requires drawing a line between fact and fiction.

        It is? Their is no evidence. It’s a fabrication invented by a German evangelical on a self proclaimed “mission from god” to destroy communism.

          No, it isnt. We have geographic evidence as well as countless testimonies of the Uyghur people.

          For some reason when it comes to China/Uyghur muslims, people have no issue dismissing their genocide and thinking it’s okay.

            I was in Urumqi recently enough and I can tell you this they are some of the most pro government people I have ever talked with lmao they love that ETIM was kicked out.

            You have gusano testimony from the likes of Rushan Abbas (Guantanamo bay torturer) It’s not real.

            Also tell me about this geographic evidence? Pictures of prisons that you decided are camps because we’re evil scary Chinese people?

              I never said “you’re evil scary Chinese people”. The Chinese state however, is another story (authoritarian— but I know you’re apathetic towards authoritarianism). I realize now that this may be evoking some sort of nationalistic reaction out of you, though.

              I didn’t “decide”— like I said, independent journalists and satellite imaging. And no, it’s not reducible to “Western evil scary propaganda” like you’re making it out to be.

                All governments/states are authoritarian. That is their nature. No government is excluded from this.

                The difference with some governments over others is who wields that authority: the majority of working class people, or the minority of capitalist class people.

                I’d prefer to live in a state that advocates for my best interests as a working class individual rather than submit to capitalists that want to extract everything that I’m worth for themselves and hoard for no good reason.

                The Chinese state that has 95+% support from the population and is made up of a representative of Chinese people.

                White people decided we’re evil and you just go along with it without any investigation because you’re racist and it confirms your biases

                  Ah yes because government-manufactured numbers hold value— you must think Russia is a democracy too, no?

                  Oh, and now I’m racist. Great. Critiquing a state means I’m racist. Logical.

                  I have nothing against Chinese people. If you’re defending things like suppression, I don’t care what colour you are, I don’t like that.

                    Western organizations have found that over 90% of the population approve the government, which is shown to be consistent and accurate. This isn’t coming from the government, but from western orgs directly asking Chinese people. Further, despite evidence that the government of China isn’t lying about public ownership being principle, and the transparent form of democracy we can view, you still don’t trust the government’s claims either!

                    Strawman. Also more racism.

            There is no genocide of Uyghurs. Uyghur genocide atrocity propaganda akin to claiming that there’s “white genocide” in South Africa, Christian genocide in Nigeria, or that Hamas sexually assaulted babies in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

            In the case of Xinjiang, the area is crucial in the Belt and Road Initiative, so the west backed sepratist groups in order to destabilize the region. China responded with vocational programs and de-radicalization efforts, which the west then twisted into claims of “genocide.” Nevermind that the west responds to seperatism with mass violence, and thus re-education programs focused on rehabilitation are far more humane, the tool was used both for outright violence by the west into a useful narrative to feed its own citizens.

            The best and most comprehensive resource I have seen so far is Qiao Collective’s Xinjiang: A Resource and Report Compilation. Qiao Collective is explicitly pro-PRC, but this is an extremely comprehensive write-up of the entire background of the events, the timeline of reports, and real and fake claims.

            I also recommend reading the UN report and China’s response to it. These are the most relevant accusations and responses without delving into straight up fantasy like Adrian Zenz, professional propagandist for the Victims of Communism Foundation, does.

            Tourists do go to Xinjiang all the time as well. You can watch videos like this one on YouTube, though it obviously isn’t going to be a comprehensive view of a complex situation like this.
