To make matters even worse, the GDP is usually a garbage neoclassical economics metric that doesn’t differentiate between the real economy and the FIRE economy.

@davel@lemmy.ml avatar

Global North corporate media view China’s economy through a capitalist lens, so the coverage in question is garbage in the first place.

One example: China intentionally popped the real estate speculation bubble so that regular people can continue to afford housing. China hasn’t made the mistake that the US has: namely housing as an investment vehicle. And the Chinese state can do that because the capitalist class is not in control, whereas the US is an oligarchy. CBS: Homes “unaffordable” in 99% of nation for average American

You might start with What does ‘threadshitting’ mean?

Threadshitting is either early snark, noise, “who cares” or joke comments in a newish MeFi thread or someone repeatedly making off-topic or noise comments in a thread often as a way of derailing discussion. Early threadshitting comments are frequently deleted.

So which is it, are the Chinese capitalists in control of the State, or is the “authoritarian” Xi Jinping in control? Or do Chinese workers actually have more effective democratic control than workers in bourgeois democracies?

BBC, 2014: Study: US is an oligarchy, not a democracy The US is dominated by a rich and powerful elite. So concludes a recent study by Princeton University Prof Martin Gilens and Northwestern University Prof Benjamin I Page.

Working people have no control over industry or the government, and both exercise repressive controls on any movement towards such a system.

This is what we’re constantly told by our governments and our corporate media that parrot them. I would suggest that your understanding of China comes from imperial core propaganda for the purposes of Cold War II. The propaganda is also important to the capitalist class that doesn’t want workers here to take note of a threat of a good example.

Instead, the case will proceed to assess whether Ukraine committed genocide in the eastern parts of the country, as Russia claims – a matter where judges ruled that they have jurisdiction.

For whomever decided that this should be buried, this is not Reddit. Your downvotes have no power here.

Ackchyually, we can delete this post and your comment, should we choose to. Our patience with liberals of the imperial core has its limits.

One China | United States policy

  • The United States did not explicitly state the sovereign status of Taiwan in the three US-PRC Joint Communiqués of 1972, 1979, and 1982.
  • The United States “acknowledged” the “One China” position of both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
  • U.S. policy has not recognized the PRC’s sovereignty over Taiwan;
  • U.S. policy has not recognized Taiwan as a sovereign country; and
  • U.S. policy has considered Taiwan’s status as unsettled.
