That would explain persecution by Han supremacists.

As an American they absolutely are correct.

That is fair.

It was a logic experiment and not a defense. Of anyone. Is it a dig at a despot like Xi? Absolutely and deservedly so.

Arch checking in. It may happen less. But it still does.

Yep. Taiwan is the original government. The CCP is the new government. The old government can’t return to the new government. You could be undeservedly diplomatic and assume the statement was mistranslated. And that they were talking more about a reunification of the people. But threats aren’t a good way to do that.

I know right? The campist miasma is impenetrable. Both groups can’t be bad. One has to be good, and it’s theirs. When their people do it, it’s good. That’s the only logic anyone needs to understand when engaging with them.

I never said it eliminated it. Just that it accounted for it. Keeping governance flat and small. So it doesn’t produce corruption on a national level. Or export it.

And in the end, what does it matter. Every ML government has been corrupted and pushed it’s corruption at a much larger scale. That’s the point. The scale and mass of those

And as to your linked investigation, that’s not particularly convincing one way or the other. If China was good as you pretend, they would have a free press. Instead they repress. Foreign press have where they can go severely restricted often accompanied by minders to make sure they don’t get close to what they’re looking for. And finally, it’s very common for those that are abused to deny their abuse as long as they are vulnerable to their abuser. Here’s a link to an interview. Where at one point family and activists confront a CCP rep about the disappearance of their friends and family. Where he convincingly screeches “OnE cHiNa!!!” In response to not having the power to disappear. I know you deny these peoples existence. I bet you’ll even resort to old trusty. CIA or NATO conspiracy!

But the fact is secrecy and suppression is not the hallmark of the innocent.The leaders of ML governments are human just like everyone else. They aren’t divine or infallible. No matter how much ideology blinded campists like yourself, claim otherwise.

Sad BSD noises.

All governments rely on uncorruptible civil servants to some degree.

This is flat-out false. Systems like anarchism explicitly expect it,and structured accordingly.

But the Chinese system has this pernacious habit of benefiting domestic Chinese residents.

Tanky say what?! Go ask the Uyghurs or the Tibetans or the Hong Kongers or any non-han ethnic group. It’s not an east west thing. It’s a “western nations did identical things to my family that China is doing over there. And I’m not an immature ideology blinded campist” thing. It’s a don’t be a hypocrite thing. But name a more iconic strawman for an ML than not just bigotedly lumping an entire ethnic group, but vast diverse groups as one. Just because they loosely share geopolitical ties.

If the Chinese economy was run out of a board room at JP Morgan or through a series is military based commanded by NATO Generals or via a client state like Israel or Japan, we wouldn’t hear any complaints.

You’re literally projecting. Because I’m here to tell you that’s just as bad. Fuck that shit whoever is doing it. Grow up and stop being an enabling hypocrite.

Any government that relies on individuals to uncorruptly weild concentrated power… is the problem. Society and human nature will see it abused every time.

If your system relies on being run by exceptional people. Success itself is the exception.

Neither are likely. Though the fact that arguing against the government that created/enabled it in China would get you disappeared. China is even less likely. The party ultimately serves itself, not the people.

As torn said. ML aren’t communist. They’re authoritarian and generally capitalistic. Also the US brought millions out of poverty as well. But that doesn’t play well with biased authors and readers. See social security.

Bringing X numbers out of poverty however doesn’t justify or excuse either of their genocide and oppression. Not to mention since China speed ran the 20th century. They are already seen burgeoning inequality and returns to poverty. But campus have to camp and distort.

In before ML claim that only the west can be imperial. There’s a reason all of Russia’s neighbors are Leary of them. And that former conquered states abolished most of the Soviet iconography placed in their states. And are fighting tooth and nail to stay separate. The USSR was one of the most imperialistic colonizing countries of the 20the century. Colonizing and conquering most of their neighbors.
