Yeah western media are generally known to not ever spread atrocity propaganda, particularly against China.
My dear, I'm just saying the police are universally the abusers of the working class, and even more of of minorities. Your claims that it has to be otherwise because you simp to this particular regime are at best as informed as said media.
Darling, the police of a Socialist state are not equivalent to the police of capitalists. They have completely different motivations. Police under capitalism exist to protect private property and nothing else. The function of the police in a worker's state is the same as in that of a bourgeois state: enforcing the class interest of the ruling class. The difference lies in who constitutes the ruling class.
My dearest. I had a close familly member tortured for months for participating in the anti-nazi underground, by a communist state. I had my father beaten up number of times for participating in a trade union by a socialist state. And I can show you the same socialist state riding tanks over and firing on strikig miners. For the working class there is no difference which regime the police follows. They will always protect the elites against the masses.
Oh, and if you haven't been; China is as much a capitalist state as any other. Slightly more steered market, less civic freedoms, but not significantly different, only the elites are called "the party". Thats how you go about buisnesses, it's not some alumni club or sect, you join the party for that and repeat the slongas while going about with the exploitation. Working class still works itself to death in miserable conditions, the elites still get disproportionate benefits. But yeah there will be a red flag in front of a international bank.
