People from dystopian western regimes enjoying Chinese freedom and humanity. This is why western regimes are so scared of western people visiting China.
You're viewing a single thread.
So true! Western "freedom" my arse!! Life is so much better in Russ...oh, wait, maybe not at the moment. China! Oh, wait, no, that's not a good example either. OK, North Kor...what? Oh, right. Not them then.
Er... need a bit of help here guys. What's a shining example of communism that'll make us Westerners wish they were living under that instead of our current hideous regimes?
China! Oh, wait, no, that’s not a good example either.
shut the fuck up cracker
Damn Laos, Cuba and Vietnam casually on the list too
And all the rest are former Eastern block countries
Wow, quite a few others above the US, too: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_home_ownership_rate
I say wow but I'm not that surprised.
It is interesting how these people think that China froze in time 30 years ago and is still poor and struggling. The life of the average person in China is better than in the US, and within a decade, will probably become better than most of the Anglosphere, and within 2 decades will be better than all of those "superior" Europeans. And these same CHUDs will be making the same "Ugh, China bad! Authoritarian!" arguments while toiling away at 3 jobs just to keep the lights on.
Why do you write like this
Seriously what is up with this sensationalist ass style of writing?
Reddit reflex, fishing for updoots
🤡Nice statistics tankie, but have you considered...
...that the see see pee is lying?🤡
I never get tired of seeing lemm.ee libs get schooled whenever they spew their China Bad redditisms outside of their safe spaces.
Damn, thought it would just be ppb, that's all this CHUD deserves.
Three things:
What exactly is your issue with China? Can you please explain what you’re actually getting at here? Lots of other people have brought forth some pretty decent evidence that life in China isn’t as bad as a western lib thinks, but I am curious about your thoughts and feelings on the matter. What is your issue with China? Why would you not want to live there?
With many redditor types, it's down to their white/moral superiority + saviour complex. Even if they know it might not be true, they will grasp onto the thought that "liberal democracies" are the best system until the end of history. Just the thought of another country with a different system, and not subservient to the enlightened/civilised west is rising to challenge them is a triggering point for them.
For the sexpat types that you see on Youtube making a living with the anti-PRC grift, they're no longer worshipped as "superior people" even if they were to visit again so of course they will harbour hatred against them lol.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I have yet to meet an American who visited china who did not come back screaming praises for that country. When you mention their visits, they always grin even if it was a grueling work trip.
There was ine ledditor that I spent too long talking to who claimed to like China until he traveled there and saw guards with rifles at Tiananmen Square, which he interpreted as exerting a psychic pressure to not even think about the June 4th Incident. No, as far as I can remember from his harrowing account, no one actually said anything.
Lmao I remember growing up post 9/11 and seeing armed guards with MP5s at hockey games.
Shit, i can go to Seattle right now and see cops with body armor and assault rifles patrolling the train station like it's Fallujah. Even the motorcylce cops around here have AR15s sticking out the back like they're judge dredd
They're all actors, every last one of them, acting their entire lives in case a Westerner catches a glimpse of them. Nobody actually works in China it's just actors. It's a wonder they're the second largest global economy /s
I would literally rather live in China than where I am now
I think most people would lol, unless you're propagandized by western media ig
Who's the one sanctioning North Korea and not letting them trade with other countries again? And yet it's still a relatively normal country.
Also bro's really complaining about China of all things and bringing up capitalist Russia as an example of "communism" 💀
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
if I knew Mandarin I wouldn't even be here
cope harder
China has a higher average life expectancy then the USA lol.
If capitalism is so bad then how come living conditions are worse in the exploited global south whose nations are targeted, exploited and destabilised by the imperialist core?
Same dumbass line of questioning.
if murder is so bad then how come I, a murderer, am alive? while this guy who got murdered is dead?
checkm8 atheists
You're sounding dumb as shit right now.
Post hog
Russia isn't communist (and seems to be doing just fine regardless), China has an outstanding quality of life and is arguably one of the best places to live in the world, and I quite enjoyed my time in the DPRK. Many of the issues the DPRK suffers is because of sanctions placed on them, not their own government.
You are missing a few horrible rote generalizations. Would you like to say something about Cuban supermarkets to get the full experience?
Well, I'd certainly love to live in China instead of :estonia-burning:. You are more than welcome to hit me up with a one-way tho
Russia is communist
Hey! Communist Vsauce here, just checking in to see how you're handling your big L
before you praise America or Europe, remember where that wealth comes from

Unequal exchange theory posits that economic growth in the “advanced economies” of the global North relies on a large net appropriation of resources and labour from the global South, extracted through price differentials in international trade. Past attempts to estimate the scale and value of this drain have faced a number of conceptual and empirical limitations, and have been unable to capture the upstream resources and labour embodied in traded goods. Here we use environmental input-output data and footprint analysis to quantify the physical scale of net appropriation from the South in terms of embodied resources and labour over the period 1990 to 2015. We then represent the value of appropriated resources in terms of prevailing market prices.
Our results show that in 2015 the North net appropriated from the South 12 billion tons of embodied raw material equivalents, 822 million hectares of embodied land, 21 exajoules of embodied energy, and 188 million person-years of embodied labour, worth $10.8 trillion in Northern prices – enough to end extreme poverty 70 times over. Over the whole period, drain from the South totalled $242 trillion (constant 2010 USD). This drain represents a significant windfall for the global North, equivalent to a quarter of Northern GDP.For comparison, we also report drain in global average prices. Using this method, we find that the South’s losses due to unequal exchange outstrip their total aid receipts over the period by a factor of 30. Our analysis confirms that unequal exchange is a significant driver of global inequality, uneven development, and ecological breakdown.
China would be a good place to live. Why do you write like a Facebook boomer?
