Struggle session engage. Post your pathetic arguments so that I and the other China Good Posters can dismantle them and you can learn.

Key points:

  • China is a democracy. It is arguably the most functional and responsive democracy in a major country today. Its citizens consider it more democratic than the citizens of almost any other country do their own.

  • China is on a clear path to socialism and economic justice. No nation in history has ever reduced poverty in anything like the way China is doing it.

  • The vast majority of people in the PRC support the CPC. This is not due to being brainwashed. Americans are brainwashed and still hate their government.

  • Almost everything you hear about China in the West sits on a spectrum between malicious misrepresentation to outright fabrication with no basis in reality.

  • China’s ascension to the premiere global power is an extremely good thing for world peace and the global socialist movement. While China does not actively support other socialisms (sadly it’s not as good as the USSR in this regard) it does not do imperialism. China will allow socialisms around the world to flourish simply by not actively crushing them like the US and Europe.

    There’s some kernel of truth to it, which is the fact that there ARE re-education camps in Xinjiang aimed at individuals that are radicalized or prone to radicalization. As far as I’ve been able to find though, that’s basically all they are: re-education centers where Uyghur muslims can learn the language, skills etc. necessary to better integrate into society and prevent radicalization that way. All the claims of sterilizations, killings, cultural genocide, etc. are all made up. If you want a quick look into where these claims came from and why, here’s this and this. If you’re down to do some reading to see the whole picture though, here’s this giant ass document detailing literally everything you know from start to finish.
