  • I’m still really unsure why some socialists have decided that because China carries the flag of socialism, that it means they’re automatically good at everything, ever. And everything bad about it is western propaganda.

    I’m a socialist, hell, I even like China in many regards, much more than many of my fellow Australians.

    But damn, why so many people on Lemmy.ml stanning for them? Makes no sense.

    That being said, much of the infrastructure they have, is indeed nice (all the massive amounts of coal we sell them, notwithstanding).

    But there are a bunch of inefficiencies and issues.

    Ya know, like any other country.

    China isn’t a utopia, it’s a place, with good and bad points.

    There’s a reason why the road toll is going UP per capita in the US.

    As much as it sucks for the Americans, there is a small part of me that’s happy about Trump shooting themselves in their own collective foot, because maybe we’ll consider diversifying our alliances a little. Instead of being America’s little laptop.
