Meaningless word salad, every state is “authoritarian” by nature and if it were not, it would immediately cease to exist. Is the author suggesting that there is currently a state in the world that does not enforce its authority?

unequal citizenship for migrants^1234^

it-is-known

lmao what? Does the author think any given immigrant can just up and get citizenship? Have they done literally any amount of research at all into how virtually impossible it is for a foreigner to get Chinese citizenship? Does the author think Chinese factories are staffed mostly by foreign workers?

systematic extraction of surplus value created by workers.

I thought Marx was a dumb-dumb who didn’t know anything and was wrong about that because muh human nature. I guess he was right after all, good thing this only happens in China

I'm assuming by "immigrants" they're referring to Chinese people who moved into big cities, especially the rich ones on the coast like Shanghai and Shenzhen.

There’s the whole deal with how because they're still registered with the place they came from (the hukou system was meant to encourage rural Chinese to stay and grow the economy there), they can't access certain services, so Western talks about "second-class citizens" and the like.
