“You criticize society, yet you participate in it? Curious…”
Judging by your username, I’m going to guess you’re a communist. Will you continue to participate in this forum using a computing device that was produced by a capitalist economic system? If you demand this level of ideological purity, it seems rather hypocritical.
Xiaomi sure as hell isn’t a “workers’ cooperative” - it’s literally a public stock company traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for crying out loud! And I don’t think anyone would doubt the fact Xiaomi’s engineers a paid good, well at least the ones that actually work for it and aren’t the employees of affiliate-startups that are part of the Mijia-ecosystem, but Xiaomi like everyone else, even Fairphone, but besides Gigatel, uses the unethically-treated Chinese factory-worker labour-pool exactly like everyone else - as disposible cogs in a well-oiled tat-producing machine.
Well I wouldn’t exactly use the name of a political party as evidence for whether or not they actually follow that ideology… There are plenty of examples for the fact that the name is not the deciding factor but what they actually do. And, considering the definition of communism, it is kinda weird to consider China communist just because that’s the name the leading party gave themselves.
I just think that “Authoritarian Regime” or similar isn’t something a party would call itself.

China is state capitalist, as evidenced by the fact that the phone you bought was manufactured there via cheap labor.

You’re delusional.
