    China is socialist under Primary Stage Socialism with development emphasized. Social safety nets and public infrastructure are not automatically steps towards socialism (in the first place because the U.S. is imperialist and finances these gains with the wealth of other nations with the aim of pacifying conflict rather than ushering in genuine positive change). This spectrum approach ignores political and developmental realities, in the first place with China being a dictatorship of the proletariat and the US being a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, and with private businesses subordinated at every step to the popular mass party (and with the final goal of expelling them when socialism is fully developed (1949/1950), since China is a backward nation that did not undergo a capitalist period before developing the DOTP. The “more state or more private” dichotomy is imo an incorrect way of looking at things.




  • I’ll refute all of this not for you but so other people can see (you’re defending your own world position as a citizen of Canada, the state that actually genocided their indigenous population and stole their land for mining). I’ll expect a full renunciation of your views, otherwise don’t reply.

    Taiwan: Taiwan has been a part of China since before the 17th century. Imperialist Japan forcibly seized this territory in 1895. In 1941, the PRC issued a declaration of war against Japan calling for the territories stolen by Japan to be recovered. In support, the US and the UK signed the Cairo Declaration stating that they would aid in the recovery of the stolen land. Again, the US and the UK reaffirmed the Cairo Declaration in the Potsdam Proclamation. In 1971, the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 recognized Taiwan as a part of China. Ever since, the UN has recognized the One-China Principle which is why Taiwan does not have a seat at the UN. “臺灣民眾統獨立場趨勢分佈”, conducted by Taiwan’s National Chengchi University, an explicitly anti-CPC source, in 2022, showed the following results with regards to the perspective of Taiwanese citizens on independence and reunification: (Status Quo as Autonomous Part of China and Complete Unification Compiled [part of PRC] : 63.4%) (General Support for Independence Including Status Quo Moving Towards Independence [not part of PRC]: 30.3%) (Non-Response: 6.3%). Here we can see that in public opinion, remaining a part of the PRC has over double the support to becoming independent or pursuing independence at a later date. We can also see in general that the highest opposition forces have already conceded that Taiwan is indisputably a part of China.

    Tiananmen “Massacre”:

    Video of the square being evacuated (I’m sure it’s a coincidence this was only shown on Hong Kong and mainland TV and not in the west)

    Classified CIA cable from a correspondent in China admitting there was no massacre

    Hou Dejian, a Taiwanese national and one of the leaders of the Tiananmen protests, saying he was in the square all night and saw no one killed

    China in 1989 for one man vs. the U.S. in 2020 for a whole crowd *Are we expected to believe that a group of tanks which had just got done driving over a supposed 10,000 people would stop for one man (and try to drive around him, which the man blocks), then let him get atop the tank, bang on it, and simply try to speak to him? The context of this famous image actually demonstrates the absurdity of the story the Guardian cuts the later footage out as per.

    There Was No “Tiananmen Square Massacre” - CBS News

    *There was no massacre in Tiananmen Square. It had been evacuated and the fight between protestors and PLA soldiers occurred in surrounding areas. The CBS testimony says that the CPC denies the casualties in outer areas. This is incorrect, the mayor of Beijing had stated in a public report that around 200 people died including PLA soldiers.

    “According to the information we have so far gathered, more than 3,000 civilians were wounded and over 200, including 36 college students, died during the riot.” (p. 47).
