china gets shit on because they don’t have political freedom; there’s no stuff like “you can speak your mind as long as you’re respectful”. it’s just one committee making all the decisions and you can go to jail for disagreeing. the problem with that is that it effectively creates a circle of yes-men around a central figure, which is very very bad. every sane government allows at least respectful disagreement and dialogue with critics because it’s an important tool to stay on track and sane long-term. critics can often have valid points and keep an empire from making a grave mistake. that being said, china did a lot for its citizens and deserves more recognition. especially that they invested in solar energy is a stellar example of good long-term thinking and the advantages that central planning can have.

It’s possible to simultaneously think there are issues with the Chinese government and U.S. government. You could mention 3 June 1989 I’m China or Epstein files in the U.S.

This comment section is filthy! And all of that just to justify the chinese imperialistic ambitions. Looks really twisted to me.

I’m an American. China might not be bad, but they ain’t going to be good to me. America isn’t good to me either.

Its like comparing the Federation and the Empire from elite dangerous lol. Empire elitists always talking about how bad the Federation is because of the insane capitalist abuse of power, and billions of humans subjected to horrific conditions. And then Federation liberals talking about how the Empire literally has legalized slavery and a monarchy that runs on the death of humans. Although technically there’s also the stereotypical Asian CEO who has a 15% discount on all ships and modules in his systems, so I guess that’s probably the successor to Ali Express lol. That all being said, the post above this is an article trying to explain how China plating 78 billion trees was a bad idea lmao.

Westerners today have so much in common with their inquisition and crusades predecessors. They replaced Christianity with Western Liberalism and they fight for it with the same zeal. Either you adopt their values and systems or you are an evil heathen who must be destroyed.

My god the comments. You are perfectly allowed to not know much about a country. I don’t know about PRC either. But I know to keep my mouth shut on matters I don’t know about. I don’t go on parroting propaganda for those things.

All states are bad, but if we’re talking about which ones are arguably better or worse on the world stage… “USA USA USA, WE’RE NUMBER 1!” Proudly colonizing for 250 years?

If, over the next 10 years, your country became more and more like China, would you go along with the changes? Would you have any problems with the transformation?

China is bad, just not nearly as bad as the US anymore.

If you can find me a governance representing more than 100 million people that is genuinely good, with no ifs ands or buts about it, I can prove that you are the brainwashed one.
