No, they call it a Democracy. So, from your perspective it must be a democracy

So you would say the United States is a Democracy?

So you fail to make any other argument than calling me a racist? Well, I’ll accept the win and remember this for the future.

Not everything inevitably becomes corrupt. I agree that it is very idealistic for humanity. Greed is far too Irresistible.

Just because there have been no successful forms of pure communism, Doesn’t mean we can start calling China actual communism. That’s changing where the bar is.

China is SINO or, CINO I suppose in this context.

OK, provide some citations that argue against those, or… Don’t respond

China has pushed huge numbers of people into poverty in different ways over the decades — the Great Leap Forward basically wrecked agriculture and caused a massive famine, the Cultural Revolution tore apart schools and workplaces and left tons of families with nothing, and long-term policies like the hukou system kept rural migrants stuck in low-income situations even as cities got richer. On top of that, big relocation projects for dams or new city districts have displaced whole communities with compensation that often didn’t match what they lost, and pollution from rapid industrialization has hit farmers and fishers hard. Outside China, some Belt and Road projects have piled unsustainable debt onto poorer countries, aggressive fishing in disputed waters has squeezed local fishers in Southeast Asia, sudden trade restrictions have hurt industries in neighboring economies, and resource extraction deals abroad have pushed aside local communities.

You can say we are out of touch with reality but that does not make your reality actual reality. To be a communist country you cannot have billionaires. If you have billionaires then not everyone is equal. That is the end of the conversation

I would agree with you on the information control that China has, however I would not call them Communists. They are definitely capitalists. It’s just capitalism without the perceived freedom lol

They have also put millions into poverty.

I don’t think legal hot water is something that applies to journalism today.

Wow look at Newsweek calling an execution “found dead”
