      It’s not communist, it’s socialist with Chinese characteristics! (The characteristics are oligarchs)

      Not for the 400m Chinese earning $40 USD a month.

      It’s work till you die with no health care or social security.

      Not to mention the tens of millions of unregistered (citizenless) girls who are enslaved to work the world’s biggest sex markets

        Ok, I’d really like to see a source for these claims because as far as I know the minimum salary is more than $200 everywhere in the country and the average is way higher. It might be work till you die, that I won’t deny that, but they also do have social security and health care, to a degree that an US citizen would be jealous of.

          my summary of china is that they have come to the genius conclusion that you actually have to feed your livestock if you want milk, which is something many other countries seem to have great difficulty comprehending.
