It sure is slow going trying to inject some modicum of historical awareness (colonialism etc.) into liberals et al.
This situation is basically the same.
>>2401359That's not what I was talking about. Any country can institute universal healthcare of a certain quality like Mao did with doctors that practiced medicine based on feudal superstitions, but no country can institute healthcare that doesn't match its level of development of the productive forces. The CPC accepted elements capitalism in the field of healthcare and in general because China had to get ahead in development at all costs.
The way things currently stand basic coverage covers everyone so there is no distinction between people with and without a residency permit. The vast majority hospitals are state owned that people pay out-of-pocket expenses to. European countries with full universal coverage have people pay for healthcare from their own pockets, it's just that it's just that the insurance fee is withdrawn from people's bank account every month before they'd receive as what is called a "tax". Social security is a special tax on income, it doesn't draw from profits directly. People with a higher reported income will pay more, but China more than makes up for it by massive investments into healthcare by the state when a lot of "socdem" European countries deliberately underfund their state-run healthcare so they can give all of their budget to Blackrock-controlled companies in the form of subsidies.
You are mostly complaining about legal technicalities when the CPC has a massive track record in championing the interests of Chinese workers.

Espionage and Pentagon takeovers of mines as China's Rare Earth Metals ban slams weapons makers…
>This is from Modern War Institute. There is a nice photo here of an assembly line for warplanes, and with a headline that complains that China is weaponizing their supply of shiny rocks that those guys in the photo need to make their planes work. China’s export controls on rare earth elements were “a shot across the bow of the US defense industrial base.” Fighter jets, satellites, missiles, submarines—nobody can build them without materials made in China. 90% of the rare earth magnets come from here, and 85% of the refined rare earths, so the United States and their allies don’t have the raw materials to fight a future war. At the peak of the Cold War, over 40 years ago or so, the United States had $42 billion of reserves, now it’s under $1 billion.
>So the Defense Department has no choice now, but to get into the mining business. The Pentagon is investing directly in some companies that can do some rare earth mining, but it won’t be until 2027 at the earliest that any new production comes out of the ground, if then. And that’s just raw materials. Then they still need to be refined, and turned into magnets.
>The Pentagon bought a 15% stake in MP Materials to build some magnets. The entire world is reliant on China for rare earth metals, and MP Materials is the only mine in the United States that is operational, right now. MP produces only a handful of the materials the Pentagon needs to build stuff, but something is better than nothing, and better late than never.…
>>2401747"Dengism" and "NEP" are horrible framing of the issue
USSR's war communism was essentially the same as Mao's socialism. After war communism, NEP followed. After Mao's initial accumulation of state capital, Deng came in and expanded on Mao's policies that were already happening.
Both were continuation of their countries' previous policies. People just don't realize that unlike Russia, whcih was a hundred years behind, China was two or three hundred years behind. Development takes a lot of time. In the future we will see some African nation pulling off a catch up, and retards of the future would say shit about their NEP being too long to qualify for socialism

>>2403050There are no capitalists in Communist China. The exploiters, as a class, were eliminated by 1981.
https://www.marxists.org/subject/china/documents/cpc/history/01.htm>>2403077There is no capitalism in Communist China. By 1952, the socialist transformation of private ownership of the means of production has been completed, the system of exploitation of man by man abolished, and a socialist system established.
https://www.marxists.org/subject/china/documents/cpc/8th_congress.htm I've finally started archiving the PRC threads. Here's the two most recent ones:
