Sounds like they have their billionaire class under control. Over an 8 year period they executed something like nearly 5% but definitely more than 2.5% of the billionaire class for criminality.
You project your understanding of the lawless billionaires of the West to China when their system simply does not work the same. Chinese billionaires face significant consequences for malfeasance and their class is closely controlled by the Party which they aren't not even allowed to join. Their class is only allowed to join the non-voting advisory body called the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CCPCC) where they can make legislative proposals for the CPC to review.
So to review as a class their political influence is subordinated to the workers party and when they break the law they are held accountable, they are even executed for serious crimes.
The billionaire class of China is incomparable to the lawless corrupt class of criminal billionaires that we have in the West
Yeah... just like the old royals of Europe once thought they had the merchant classes under control, eh?
Do tell tankie... how far is China in the "capitalism-to-socialism" pipeline by now?
Somewhere in the middle, maybe?
Why don't you just admit that you don't actually believe in concepts such as socialism and communism at all?
I don't believe in any political idealogies. I am a sceptic and committed to the advancement of humanity along whatever line brings the most good to the most people. China embodies this more than my home country or any of its allies. If your politcal dogma is more important to you than people I cant help you man. Unlike you I'm not married to any country or belief system.
When liberals like you LARP as communists or anarchists or whatever your brains and critical thinking completely shut down when comparing the West and China. You become as dogmatic as fundamentalist Christians on this subject.
Its like you know you are cucked by your ruling class and you are angry about the corruption and exploitation. Aware of. your own impotence you project your anger at other countries as a release valve.
"Do tell libcuck: do you think calling people names is persuasive? Do you think simping for the American empire will bring about communism and socialism?" ^this is how you sound
I bet if any other world government executed between 2.5% and 5% of a class in its country you would call it a genocide or crimes against humanity, but China executing criminal billionaires at that rate doesn't even register to you as strict state control.
I'm surprised a frothing at the mouth China hater like you wouldn't even use this as an opportunity to criticize their overuse of the death penalty. Keep your eyes on the ball dude, you could have been hammering China for being authoritarian mass murderers but instead it's, "nuh uh! Expecting nearly 1 out of 20 billionaires doesn't constitute control!" Fucking clown
Oh look... a tankie going full liberal.
Colour me surprised.
You are literally posting on an instance for suburban liberals to LARP as anarchists
And you'd know this how?
Hang out with lots of anarchists, tankie?
