Struggle session engage. Post your pathetic arguments so that I and the other China Good Posters can dismantle them and you can learn.

Key points:

  • China is a democracy. It is arguably the most functional and responsive democracy in a major country today. Its citizens consider it more democratic than the citizens of almost any other country do their own.

  • China is on a clear path to socialism and economic justice. No nation in history has ever reduced poverty in anything like the way China is doing it.

  • The vast majority of people in the PRC support the CPC. This is not due to being brainwashed. Americans are brainwashed and still hate their government.

  • Almost everything you hear about China in the West sits on a spectrum between malicious misrepresentation to outright fabrication with no basis in reality.

  • China's ascension to the premiere global power is an extremely good thing for world peace and the global socialist movement. While China does not actively support other socialisms (sadly it's not as good as the USSR in this regard) it does not do imperialism. China will allow socialisms around the world to flourish simply by not actively crushing them like the US and Europe.

    Because the communist party says so and they aren't controlled by capitalists so why would they say something they don't want to do? You think chapos are the target audience for Chinese press releases or speeches?

        Okay, but where's your actual counterargument? China says they are building socialism, they have a number of socialist-style systems, including the way their electoral system works, and they want to create a "modern socialist system". Why are you a better judge of what is socialist than someone in the communist party?

          Which is why it is infinitely more productive in a thread especially addressed to newcomers to actually talk about the "socialist-style systems" and their inner workings instead of just saying shut up and believe.
