I am wondering if someone who is supportive of China could point out some achievements and victories of modern China. Valid criticism is also welcome.

The chinese government is shit.
The poverty I saw in the rural areas and cities is not justifiable when laid next to the wealth I saw being thrown around in the clubs.
Communist my ass. Lived there for 5 months, my own european country feels more socialist than china.

they're doing really good at tricking people into thinking they are socialist

Uh well it's basically gone under a total transformation from a desperately impoverished country to a modern one in the span of one generation.

If you find a book of Shanghai or Beijing from thirty years ago it literally looks like a random place in the countryside today.

Basically China uplifted itself, as a country of more than one billion people. It's not comparable to tiny success stories of city-sized states or colonies. It didn't have many huge advantages in doing so either, it's a fairly resource poor place, with difficult terrain, few allies an no protector. It's amazing honestly how much it's accomplished from being totally disregarded by the world as a permanently backwater that could never be more than a grain importer. Today, it's probably the most forward looking country in the world, with the most enthusiasm for new things and the future in general.

imo the real question is whether the wealth can be distributed better during our lifetimes. i feel this is currently a really curical time for china - they've finally got the resources, but can they handle them responsibly?
Jason Baker
China is a capitalist country, and like all capitalist countries it operates according to the logic of capital. Those resources will be used for maximum short term profits regardless of how many proles are crushed or how much it fucks over future generations. If we’re lucky the left wing of the party will make a resurgence to re-establish socialism. Imo there’s at least some hope for this, either in the event of a major recession or if the current wave of radicalized students ascend to leadership positions down the road without selling out.

Thanks for your contribution, my dengist friend. You can see yourself out, right?

China does indeed have capitalism, but it's hardline socialist past has not been forgotten by its population now either.
What China needs now is confidence, which is slowly being regained (with the nail in the coffin of liberalism), when it has achieved a status worthy of pride, then it will reenter the art of spreading it's politics and ideology.
Jackson Collins
I have been thinking about it. China has been invaded, beaten and exploited by unequal treaties by western powers. It was also betrayed by Germany in WW2. I really hope that Chinese people, even if turn against socialism, will not forget that the west invaded them because they banned drug,and one day will step up against them.

West Europe is still engaging in neocolonialist activities and direct crimes against humanity including but not limited to bombing Libya, Syria,Yemen and many more countries. If you don't think that anti imperialism in any form against them is necessary take of this flag, pussy.
Zachary Russell
Most countries (including China) engage in neocolonialism. The idea that ethnic hatred is a viable solution to imperialism is stupid and goes against everything socialism promotes.
Cameron Smith
I might have sounded thought, but that's because for the past 300 years major western nations have been causing nothing, but death and destruction. Anyway, what I was referring to is not a nuclear war, but a cold war between west. Mainly for these reasons
1)China, whetever PLC or in the future any other version should stop investing into reactionary countries like France, Germany,Israel and UK.
2)China should engage in actual protectionism and stop importing teslas.
3)China should flooding western markets with cheap consumer goods.
4)China should support anti western movement in Africa,Asia and Latin America/

I hear they're really good at wage labor, commodity production and the extraction of surplus value

Not all anti-imperialism is leftist, or safe for leftists to tolerate. Sometimes it's just two porks fighting for wealth.
Levi Smith
That's not what I said. I said that China should stop investing into west and buying western cars and iphones.
As an example

I did specify that China should stop investing into western economies. They use that money to bomb people.
Xavier Long
What's wrong with that? All life is nothing but death and destruction.
