    Ironically, by claiming that China is “not really socialist” and is instead some kind of capitalist state, are the anti-PRC westoid leftist types implicitly praising capitalism? Isn’t that the same as claiming that capitalism lifted all those millions of Chinese people out of poverty? 🤔

    The inability of the human mind to correlate all of its contents…

      I do wonder how the few people who are critical of China but concede that China has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty thinks they managed to do it.

      Do they just think China through their own authoritarianismTM just outlawed poverty?

      Or do they actually recognise the massive undertaking of mobilizing and organizing millions of people into the countryside to directly tackle the problems of those most affected?
