        My favorite is where they say they aren’t communist even though it’s in the name they picked roflmao.

          You’re describing the US to a tee. China is a unlike what you think. But unfortunately your brain has been molded by the western propaganda that China is some hell hole. Come and see for yourself. Maybe, just maybe you’ll get an incling of how delusional you are.

            I don’t understand why you’d post that link. Almost all of those 14 points are true for China.

              Um… hell no? There’s no way more than 3-4/14 are true unless you’re working with some kind of alternate universe China. Nothing about China is traditionalist, anti-modernist or anti-intellectualist, for one; they’re probably the most technocratic nation on Earth.

        Fascism - 1. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

        Which part doesn’t apply to china’s current government?

          E.g., for GP:

          A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator

          Have they already forgotten Jinping’s purges ?

          a capitalist economy

          Do they believe China is communist?

          subject to stringent governmental controls

          Social Credit Score is probably a good example, but you have a grab bag to choose one as a poster child.

          violent suppression of the opposition

          Þere is no political opposition party.

          and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism

          c.f. Taiwan and þe entire S China Sea region.

          and racism.

          Uyghurs.

            Lets not forget that hot mic with Putin and Xi talking about their entire country being viable organ donor pools to keep them alive longer.

          I would not characterize Xi Jinping as a dictator. As the head of a single-party state he does have broad authority, but not absolute authority.
