China will take âall necessary measuresâ to fight infiltration and sabotage by foreign forces, the Foreign Ministry in Beijing has said, responding to a recent US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) recruitment ad targeting Chinese military personnel.
The spy agencyâs Mandarin-language video, published on its YouTube account on Thursday, urged officers and troops to leak information on top Chinese leaders or regarding sensitive military or technological fields.
âChina will take all necessary measures to resolutely combat infiltration and sabotage activities of foreign anti-China forces and resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests,â Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian told journalists on Friday, when asked about the CIA video.
The ad came just weeks after Beijing launched an anti-graft probe into its highest-ranking general, Zhang Youxia.
Speaking to troops in Beijing on Tuesday, President Xi Jinping described the past year as âa revolutionary temperingâ in the fight against corruption for the Chinese army. Beijing has dismissed multiple top officials and more than a dozen generals in the three years since Xi intensified efforts to crack down on top-level corruption in 2023.

>>2690544>>2691125Some already try to claim China as based trad, conservative ethnonationalism. Basically some fascist scums are switching from Japan/ Korea to China. Some of the red browns/ nazbols in the west are definitely betting on this tactic. Combined with the hostility of the liberal left/ ultras towards China, it looks like a two pronged controlled opposition strategy from natsecs shitstains to me. This is why actual communists have to claim China's achievements as a result of Marxist political economy despite some theoretical or practical flaws from our viewpont (70% right/30 wrong approach). We also have to study Chinese political thought like Legalism, Confucianism or Daoism to explain the difference and learn to bridge the gap of knowledge. They are some chinese and sinophile reactionaries that try to explain away Marxism as just tradional chinese political thought (mostly Confucianism). In my view Socialism with Chinese Characteristics is Marxism-(Leninism)-Legalism. I think the Legalist part is one of the biggest blindspots in understanding China.

>>2697815>weak social protectionsMeasured not in quality of social protections, but in GDP expenditures.
My take is that China's high savings rate is because all basic needs are met, therefore Chinese just don't have anything they want to spend money on. People naturally choose financial security in the future over a second phone, car or house, for example
>>2697815Welfare expenditure is not socialism.
>>2697815china's wealth redistribution is taking the surplus + savings and investing it into the industrial base, energy grids, schools, roads, bridges, hospitals, etc which dramatically improves the quality of life for its people and feeds the feedback loops to build the 4th industrial revolution (4IR) tech for post-labor/post-scarcity economics. so the point is not to merely redistribute financial wealth, the point is to advance the forces of production to maximize the total possibility of wealth and create super abundance which abolishes wealth inequality itelf, ie "increase the total of productive forces as rapidly as possible" (CM, chapter 2)
so they should 100% stick to its state investment model like michael roberts urges. prioritizing financial redistribution or short term consumption leaves less investment for building 4IR (advance ai, autonomous robot factories, massive renewable energy, nuclear energy, etc), the master key to unlocking post-labor economy and the horizon of fully automated luxury communism. currently, companies can also get their return through exports which brings in new exogenus capital that gets subordinated to the long game overarching socialist project through target allocation, wheareas domestic consumption mainly recycles existing capital. if you feed the feedback loops through the SWCC state investment model, goods get cheaper any how.
>>2699047Very, because China already found at least some use for robots, while US manufacturers are still trying to sell them to the military
>>2699047a few thoughts
for one, the robots are a showcase for the advancement in actuators, battery, sensor, stabilization, coordination, etc. for instance, these robots have ultra-precise IMU sensors that measure acceleration + rotation about 1000 times per second + there are integrated AIs (to keep it simple) that predict the trajectory half a second in advance. what stands out to me most is the reliability, to do coordinated acrobatics in very long sequence in public. this is why dismissing âdancing robotsâ is stupid. not a single one of these robots failed during the performance (there was one fake out lol). you donât think having extreme outside margin precise control of movement applies to safety around humans, robust locomotion, etc? youâre out of your mind and coping. the choreography and coordination is insane and mogs any of the boston dymanic short demos. humanoid robots from boston dynamic never leave the lab, they don't roll off assembly lines and can't be purchased. boston dynamics humanoid robots also have much less battery life, abandoned hydraulic actuation and now use chinese motors/actuators to try to catch up while unitree g1 are available to purchase. 90% of all humanoid robots sold globally last year were chinese and they are much cheaper and have better tech than their competition.
>>2699778beyond humanoid robots, china is poised to dominate robotics in general. a decade ago, china relied on imported robots for nearly three quarters of its total demand. today, china produces 57% of its industrial robots domestically. local firms are also beginning to take over the higher-end market segments. building an identical robot arm (modeled after the Universal Robots UR5e) in the US is ~2.2x more expensive than in china. and when you look under the hood, even if those components are labeled âMade in USAâ, they rely heavily upon china-made parts and materials. that's because china has a dense manufacturing base that is vertically integrated which allows for scale, rapid iteration and innovation. china actually holds about two-thirds of the worldâs effective patents in robotics, or over 190 thousand patents.
critically, china is rapidly advancing and at the frontier in many of the parts that make up a robot: actuators, high precision motors, high grade permanent magnets, sensors, battery, gearbox, microcontroller unit, etc. robotics after all is a systems engineering problem. and the end goal is a machine that can produce one or more human unit of work at equal or lower cost than that of a human. it is the mechanical basis for enabling full scale automation of manufacturing, allowing for massive expansion in production capacities through robotic factories that can produce goods entirely autonomously. general purpose robotics would make this indistinguishable from a living organism, with mobile or humanoid-ish robots constantly moving around and solving tasks to support and keep the organism alive and functional. it goes beyond the efficient tools of the 1st to 3rd industrial revolution that enhances human labor. it's an entire new way of producing value because it replaces human labor. this echoes marx's 'fragments on machine' , where he speculates: âAs soon as labor in the direct form has ceased to be the great well-spring of wealth… capital itself is destroyed,â and "The development of fixed capital [machinery] tends to reduce the direct labor time employed in production, thereby undermining the very foundation on which capitalist production rests." and china is setting itself up as the country with the capability to do this because it has the massive industrial base to scale the production of robots and the production of energy to power the whole damn thing. these robotic systems will also evolve and self improve as AI foundation models become more reliable, accurate, and self improving. china already has enabled robots to build robots at their KUKA (owned by china) factory in guangdong. while the US is also at the frontier of AI, AI only becomes historically transformative and reaches its full potential when it is embedded into material production systems, that is, when atoms meets algorithms…. within historical materialism, it is the advancement of the forces of material production that drives changes to the relations of production, galvanizing a historical site of struggle, which brings me to my next thought.
on the gala performance, we see the literal and figurative dance of the dialectic, the interplay between humans and technology, the real, ongoing contradiction between the development of machines alongside human culture and labor. the fact that it's at a cultural event, the spring festival (spring representing dialectical renewal) now marks technology not just being introduced as a tool but as an agentic participant within historical materialism and social practice. the youth in the video obviously represent the new generation that will inherit these new forces. notably, it stages a sequence of approach/awe, confrontation and integration. this actually mirrors how marxist theory describes the historical emergence of new productive forces. the video starts off with with kicks, blocks, circling at a testing distance like kung-fu sparring, not cooperative dance at first. kung fu itself represents discipline over power, learning the logic of motion, understanding an opponent, etc. when the kids square up with the robots, the robots are presented as an opponent force and an alien power. this is basically a theatrical version of a worker encountering autonomous automation (notice how the robots are able to manipulate and wield tools). the youth seems to be able to overpower or outmaneuver the robots but the robots actually come back as the return of the negated with increasing power. the robots come back more dynamic, faster, and more numerous led by some final boss, even the weapon is upgraded. humans can no longer simply dominate but must adapt. they learn to reorganize life around these new quality productive forces. if the humans defeated them, the message would be technophobia. if the robots dominated, the message would be dystopia. instead, it ends with cooperative movement and harmony, a new higher stage of historical development.
>>2699049what's being built here isn't actually a bridge between xiamen and kinmen (technically jinmen if you're using pinyin), but the bridge between xiamen proper and the city's new international airport. the actual bridge between the PRC and the ROC would need to be built by the latter, which is why it hasn't left the planning stage so far. kinmen is in the awkward position of being controlled by the ROC while not being part of taiwan (legally it's a part of fujian province), which means its local politics is pretty separate from the rest of the country. taiwanese independence doesn't have any support there, and the local council, dominated by the KMT, is willing to work with the PRC if it means improving the island's economy.
the building of the bridge requires approval from the ROC government in general though, which means that as long as the DPP is in power, they'll never approve it over "security concerns", even if the project is supported by the majority of kinmen residents.
>>2700998Bridge would be a propaganda disaster for ROC, because people will run away from Taiwan to China officially and visibly

How do I profit from this?
Trump fucked up bad. Based on current trends and technological innovation, the future is electrons. With oil prices spiking up because of the war, the US petrostate is ironically supercharging the Chinese electrostate and speeding up the future. While the US is doubling down on coal and oil, China is electrifying its economy. For instance, in 2020, 99% of new trucks in China ran on diesel. By the end of 2025, 46% of new trucks were EV. It's projected to be 60% by the end of this year. And by virtue of scale, manufacturing capacity, and supply chain integration, China has also positioned itself to completely dominate green tech/energy exports.
With the oil shock, green tech exports from China will accelerate even more, further strengthening the build up of their industrial base and other countries reliance on Chinese supply chains. It will be a boon for Chinese EVs, solar panels, battery storage, etc. We've already been seeing this trend in the past few years, for instance, wind power turbines exports from China to the EU was up by 66% in 2025. Countries like Pakistan has rapidly increased their green tech imports from China. Now we're going it see speed up even more as renewable technology become more attractive globally and governments plan accordingly and private industries react to energy prices.
https://cleantechnica.com/2025/04/04/pakistans-22-gw-solar-shock-how-a-fragile-state-went-full-clean-energy/>Pakistanâs 22 GW Solar Shock: How a Fragile State Went Full Clean Energy>Itâs more solar than Canada has installed in total. Itâs more than the UK added in the past five years. And yet it didnât make a blip in most Western media. While the U.S. continued its decade-long existential crisis about grid interconnection queues and Europe squabbled over permitting reforms, Pakistan skipped the drama and just bought the panels.And while China will face some head winds due to increasing oil prices, they are still structurally in a better position to weather it compared to Europe, Japan, South Korea, etc. China's net fossil fuel imports are roughly 20% of primary energy demand. Japan is 87%, South Korea is 81%, and Germany is 67%. China also built up a massive amount of strategic oil reserves in the past 2 years taking advantage of low oil prices. Europe, Japan, South Korea do not have the same relative stockpile buffer. Unlike these countries, China also produces 30% of its oil which is state owned. Iran is also allowing only Chinese oil tanker ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
This leads into how the oil shock is intensifying China Shock 2.0. As China upgrades its manufacturing base and technological capitality, they are directly competing with industrial export economies like German, Japan, and South Korea. Those countries are much more dependent on fossil fuel imports which means higher energy cost and less competitive industries. The war is effectively creating a crisis loop by reducing these countries industrial competitiveness, increasing their green tech imports and reliance on Chinese supply chains, while advancing China's industrial base. Also, Germany is really fucked because of the war in Ukraine and getting cut off from Nord Stream pipelines which already spiked energy prices.

>>2719780No, this is retarded. China doesn't see Iran war as existential or even all that threatening. To explain, look at China reaction to Pakistani-Afghan conflict that's going on. Who is China supporting? NOBODY. Because both are bourgeois states doing stupid shit. When you understand that China is a socialist state that has to deal with capitalist crap, it all becomes crystal clear what's it all about, and why China doesn't buy into red paint of countries like Venezuela, and why China, instead of ideological loyalty, demands instead economic ties.
China fully intends to simply wait USA out of the hegemony, by USA spending itself on stupid shit and wars, like the one with Iran. Iran may buy stuff, enjoy some diplomatic help, but China never did write down any kind of a contract making Iran an ALLY, only a partner. IIRC the only allyship China has is with DPRK.
>>2721270>>2721270>China fully intends to simply wait USA out of the hegemony, by USA spending itself on stupid shit and wars, like the one with Iran.They would be very stupid to do that because the USA controls the global currency on which even now the PRC depends. Furthermore many of the wars the USA/Israel is engaging in today are meant to deny economic partners to the PRC. By force countries that would do commerce with the PRC are being made give preferential treatment to the USA/Israel instead. One of the worst consequences of a destabilized Iran would be that possibly the USA/Israel could set up military bases in it. Further surrounding the PRC with USA/Israel military bases.

While the US seems unable to plan for dedollarization, and is lashing out at the world like a typical dying empire, everyone else has plans for dedollarization.
>>2721282also even among the explicitly religious, institutional attendance is on the decline, leading to more particularized and individualized forms of faith and doctrinal interpretations which may not be in line with the original manipulative intentions of the various sectarian clergy.
>>2721285Revolution is not a series of evolutions, the entire global system was designed with the US as a centerpiece, its not just a matter of waiting until its wars abroad get it exhausted. It must be overturned consciously, and this will not happen without organization. But of course China does not accept dialectical thinking anymore and all sorts of petty nationalists get a lot of sway pretending that working with other countries some sort of grand betrayal of China's interests.
>>2721276>which even now the PRC dependsthis dependency is circumstantial not material
>>2721270technically allies with Mongolia too
>>2721276Having the global reserve currency eventually led to the US having its industrial base hollowed out and the rise of China. That has manifested in its current account deficit, making it mathematically impossible for the US to provide development assistance to the Global South on an appreciable scale. That's the problem. Milei, the biggest Israel and Trump cocksucker understood that reality after coming to power. Before winning the election, Milei called China an assassin and said he would not make deals with them. He directly said, "I am not going to do business with China." After being in power for a few months, Milei said this about China: "We have a lot to do together, theyâre great trade partners," Milei said. âThe idea is to deepen the commercial relationship."
>Well, sometimes one has to learn," Milei said, when asked about his new appreciation for China in office, eliciting laughs and applause from the audience. âDonât you learn every day? Well, if I donât learn, I hurt Argentines. I have extra pressure to learn fast.âMeanwhile, Chinese made vehicles now account for 20% of all new cars sales in Mexico. Canada made a deal to start letting in Chinese EVs. Germany is moving its BASF plants to China and the two countries' economic integration has only deepened over the years. Even the Philippines, under the pro-US Marcos Jr, has its trade with China significantly increased. Saudi Arabia, a major ally of the US, is one of the largest recipients of Chinese BRI construction contracts. The US waged long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but now they are both part of BRI and China is rebuilding the infrastructure in these countries. Biden tried to compete against BRI with Build Back Better World. It was much, much smaller in scale and it failed.
Why dont china buy gas from usa? Does china even buy anything from usa?
>>2723292Because China wants to see USA collapse or decline into irrelevancy, obviously.

>>2732049>small business owners imitating hitler.jpgI like when classes act exactly how the theory says
The reasons I can't support China, despite their obvious economic and geopolitical Ws, are simple:
-not democratic (don't (You) me with the ML definition of democracy, without elections there is no way to enforce democratic will because there is no punishment for straying from it)
-anti-queer
-anti-union (thus the 72 hour work week)
-no porn (very important)
>>2732674>muh democracy is only when bourgeois electionsFuck off and go read what a Soviet/council is. How is a voluntary council consisting of locals with no barriers for entry, which also has full breadth of power on it's territory, less democratic than parliamentarist retardation?
>>2732049this is funny but also a sign of how capitalism is becoming a cultural force inside the PRC.
>>2732683>muh SovietsThey have no meaningful power and are subordinate, ultimately, to the Politburo, which is not an elected body and is accountable to no one. It's not a bottom-up system, it's a top-down system.

>>2732688I didn't say it was illegal, I know it's legal. But they also can't get married and media is (mostly) scrubbed of them because it's illegal to "promote" it.

>>2732695Or perhaps humans are just inherently untrustworthy
>>2732702That only makes my case better, because if there's elections, we can at least punish leaders we don't like.
>>2732710Elections are charisma and popularity contests, thatâs neither objective or scientific
>>2732715Politics aren't scientific or objective anyway so I don't see your point.
>>2732720If you want good outcomes they need to be
>>2732726Hypothetically you're right, but there's no way I can think of to create an incentive structure that ensures it.
>>2732749Thatâs why Iâve given up on politics, itâs gonna have to be non human animals to pick up the pieces
>>2732720>Politics aren't scientific or objective anyway so I don't see your point.What. Then why make a big deal about whether democracy? If there is no set of arguments and facts for why representative democracy works, then it shouldn't be placed on a pedestal above other forms of goverment.
Did you guys know that the KMT declared the primary enforcer of the Three Alls Policy to be Not Guilty of war crimes at the Shanghai Trials?
Apparently they saw it as nothing more than a great anti-Communist operation, something that they wanted to mimic, and so they hired him, Yasuji Okamura, as an advisor against the Communists during the Chinese Civil War.
Here's Mao seething about it in 1949.

>>2733668They arent watching porn. They are fucking.
>Chinese elections
May we see them? I'd love to know who was running against who, what their platforms were, and how many votes they got
>>2733029Because the fact all politics are ultimately subjective judgments doesn't change the fact I have preferences, it's merely an acknowledgement that they *are* preferences, not laws of reality. All politics are ultimately struggles between factions with differing preferences for the control and use of power structures, even if it's as petty as "I want to be in charge instead of you so I can loot the treasury for myself" or something.
>>2733668There's no legal way to do it and that's not ok
>>2733640In order:
No they don't (elections mean nothing if opposition is banned)
Yes they are (being legal is the bare fucking minimum, let's have higher standards please)
Pathetic excuse. Porn is not inherently exploitative in its production, that idea is just an excuse to ban it by people who don't like it.

>>2733560Looking for a source on this.
>>2733581>The genuine pan asianist was connected to the rape of all people.I think Matsui Iwane himself has a quote about something like how Japan is the loving Father within the family structure of the Asian nations, and therefore Japan has the right to corporal punishment if the other nations stray from the interest of the family. That's just how Pan-Asianism was understood.
Also, Sun Yat-sen was quite pro-Japan, in the sense that he advocated for looking at Japan as a model for removing the unequal treaties and how an Asian culture can modernize. So Matsui being agreeable when Chinese nationalist leaders had that position of looking up to Japan is also not so crazy. The Reorganized China government positioned itself as the successor to Sun Yat-sen's ROC, saying it was staying true to Sun's desire for China to be friendly with and learn from Japan. They even tried to build the Wang Jingwei mausoleum right next to Sun Yat-sen's.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_EpsteinWe got our Epstein, but he was good guy LMAO
Israel Epstein[a] (20 April 1915 â 26 May 2005) was a Chinese journalist. Born in Poland, Epstein was one of the few foreign-born Chinese citizens of non-Chinese origin to become a member of the Chinese Communist Party.
Early life and education
Israel Epstein was born on 20 April 1915 in Warsaw to Jewish parents;[1][2] Warsaw was then part of Congress Poland, which was under Imperial Russian control. His father had been imprisoned by the authorities of Tsarist Russia for leading a labor uprising and his mother had been exiled to Siberia. Epstein's father was sent by his company to Japan after the outbreak of World War I; when the German Army approached Warsaw, his mother and Epstein fled and joined him in Asia. With his family experiencing anti-Jewish sentiment in several places, in 1917, Epstein came to China with his parents at the age of two and they settled in Tianjin in 1920. Epstein was raised there.[2]

Asians genuinely have the low esteem of any racial group and it makes cringe at the way they describe themselves
I've heard so many Asian men talk about themselves in a decrepit manner or how they'll include the fact that they're Asian when listing out their flaws.
The Asian women aren't much better and are honestly the most damaging ones of the group. If seen more Asian hate come from AF than the Black and Hispanic community combined. It's weird because Asian women are desired right now due to them being Asian, and they hate the same trait that makes them attractive.
Idk, I think it has to do with the perception of being sexualized or something like that.
But most of these problems revolve around white proximity and how Asians thinks it benefits them more than harms them, or they think it doesn't harm them at all. They don't have a voice and are heavily seen through the lens of stereotypes due to this for both the men and women.

What pisses me off is that more and more well known leftist academics and journalists are saying that China is socialist. It's something I've observed over the past 10 years, people like
John Bellamy Foster - Marxist professor, editor of the Monthly Review, one of the most prominent Marxist academic journal in the world
Michael Robertson - Marxist economist, runs a popular leftist blog call The Next Recession
Michael Hudson - Professor and well known Marxst economist in leftist circles, wrote the book Super Imperialism
Vijay Prashad - Most well known Marxist academic from India
Ben Norton - Very popular socialist journalist
Alfredo Saad-Filho - Most well known Marxist intellectual from Brazil
Nathan J Robinson - Socialist and editor-in-chief of Current Affairs magazine, wrote a book call "Why You Should Be Socialist"
Domenico Losurdo - One of the most renowned and influential Italian Marxist philosophers
etc
Even Aaron Bastani, the guy who wrote Fully Automated Luxury Communism recently proclaimed himself as a Dengist, what the fuck? We also have the most popular leftist streamers like Hasan Piker and MikeFromPa that are pro-China. How do we as Maoists combat this? Chomsky wasn't a Maoist, but at least he was a very popular intellectual and libertarian socialist who would critique China, but now he's too old
>>2747782Hysteria about dystopia in China are just orientalist lies.
>>2747986>literally every single relevant marxist academician and journalists agree china is socialist>even the big left streamers agree>chomsky the anticommunist epsteinite and some irrelevant nobodies streamers disagreelol did you ever consider you could be wrong?
>>2748000china is neither utopia or dystopia. however, without the cpc, they would be like india. instead, they are conscious conductors of the dialectical process because they understand marxism. in historical materialism, it is contradictions that are the engines of historical change and development. thus the cpc intentionally creates contradictions, then resolves or transforms them through policy and power. instead of passively waiting for contradictions to become unbearable, they actively manage and steer them.
for instance, (thesis) rapid industrialization and export-driven growth led to environmental degradation and pollution. (antithesis) thus they launch anti-pollution and green initiatives, and major investments in rewewable energy. as a result, (synthesis) annual deaths from air pollution in china peaked in 2013 and are now below 1990 levels, and they are now also much more industrialized than before.
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/sep/10/pollutionwatch-air-pollution-in-china-falling-study-shows>Since 2008, pollution countrywide has declined by about 40 percent, and by about 50 percent in Beijing. Because of these reductions, Chinese citizen can expect to live 2 to 4 years longer. This come from air pollution measured by US embassies in China as well as hyper-localized satellite pollution measurements for the entire world.https://aqli.epic.uchicago.edu/news/pollution-in-beijing-is-down-by-half-since-the-last-olympics-adding-four-years-onto-lives/further more, there's the three-north shelterbert forest program which aims to rehabilitate former wastelands, deserts, and degraded soils by planting forests or grasslands. nasa study shows a quarters of the world's new reforestation comes from china. china has also launched multiple regional ecological restoration efforts like soil erosion control in the plateau regions, desertification control, paddy field expansion, terracing and contour farming, irrigation and water management projects, etc.
however, contradictions create possibilities, not guarantees. in ideal conditions, contradictions can become engines of transformation if there is a conscious political subject (e.g. a revolutionary party), political education, and the ability to seize or reshape the state. china has the state capacity for strategic governance through the marxism-leninism centralized state structure + party discipline. because of this, they can consciously put dialectical materialism into action and accelerate the growth from these contradictions without spiraling into crisis.
in india, many contradictions deepen but are not resolved. for instance with caste vs capital, dalits are overrepresented in precarious labor but underrepresented in capital ownership. so the contradiction is profound but there's no synthesis, just ongoing violence, token policies, and repression. there's also urbanization vs infrastructure where cities expand chaotically with slums, gated enclaves, and pollution but no socialist reorganization of space. this contradiction is only growing as there is no revolutionary mediation. it's why inequality is worsening in india, and it is hard for the state to resolve this as state power has become fragmented and hijacked by capital, which then redirects class contradictions into caste politics or religious chauvinism/fascism(e.g., "hindus are poor because of muslims")
meanwhile, inequality is decreasing in china. china understood that when it introduced market reforms to unleash productive forces and rapid urbanization, it would result in uneven development and inequality. however, this contradiction is in the process of being resolved with the common prosperity initative. after the costal cities became developed, china's regional disparity has been shrinking for the past two decades due to targeted poverty alleviation initiatives. gini index has gone from 0.43 to .35 in a decade. also, reducing income inequality is not the only measure of equality.
study shows the inequality gap between educational outcomes in rural and urban areas is shrinking.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10877417/the inequality gap in health outcomes between rural and urban areas is narrowing as well
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9566669/this process is ongoing as the Partyâs governance is anchored in two major temporal goals. by 2035, china aims to achieve âbasic socialist modernization,â which includes becoming a global leader in industrial and technological capacity, advancing toward a high-income economy, reducing inequality, and improving social infrastructure. by 2049, the centenary of the people's republic of china, the cpc envisions building a âmodern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, and harmonious.â these milestones basically function as dialectical markers that signals key transitions in the relationship between the base and the superstructure. and the cpc never pretended contradictions wouldn't happen, instead, it sees them as necessary developmental moments that it must actively manage. remember, after the USSR chose to dissolve itself, and russia opened its economy to the global market, it did not have the same success as china. it declined even further with catastrophic social consequences. it lacked the strong planning institutions to intervene early and resolve contradictions, so the contradictions accumulated and exploded unpredictably.
Did Tiananmen Square massacre happened or it's just western proaganda?
>>2748423it didnt happen, at least how libs tell it
nobody got killed in the square proper, even some cia reports and protesters admit it, it was just evacuated when things started to get out of hand
now in the whole city, there were a lot violent acts from the protesters, including killing some of the stick wielding soldiers that came in the first wave, so when the second wave came they were armed and there were death on both sides. You can check out the china government account of it (because contrary to the western propaganda, they do talk about it, their narrative is just very different)
>>2747782The people's gacha pedo slop
>>2747986its because the material premise for the existence of communism is the building of productive forces. at least thats what some guy named marx said
>>2747986>How do we as Maoists combat this? stop universalizing the maoist experience into different conditions? a maoist who wins ppw and establishes dtop in a conflicted world where capitalism persists must develop her nation and becomes a dengist.
What's the skateboarding scene like in China?
>>2748423In January of 1987 Deng Xiaoping and the other party officials decided to remove Hu Yaobang from his position as General Secretary of the CPC (Deng was the most powerful person in the party but held the position of Chairman of the Military) due to the fact that Hu refused to crack down on the pro-liberal student protests that had been happening for weeks in the major cities in China that were demanding full political and economic liberalism (his removal was part of the party's Anti-bourgeois liberalisation campaign). Zhao Ziyang was then given Hu's position, later on in April 1989 Hu had a heart attack while was attending a politburo meeting and died a few day later.
This event was what started the Tiananmen Square protests (the June Fourth Incident as its called in China) tens of thousands of the liberal students travelled to the square under the pretence of attending Hu's funeral and used this moment to stage a massive call for full Liberalism in China. This also coincides with the color revolutions that were happening across the Warsaw Pact at the time and a state visit from Gorbachev to China (who supported the students). The CPC started by requesting for the students to peacefully clear the square (the number of protestors was 500,000+ at this point), after no results from this Deng Xiaoping realized that the only way to clear the square and prevent the party and socialism from being overthrown was to declare martial law and send the PLA in to clear out the square and the surrounding area (the protestors now controlled both the square and the suburbs around it). At the same time this was when Zhao Ziyang revealed himself as complete liberal and a supporter of the protestors he gave supportive speeches in the square to them saying that the party leaders were
old and did not matter. So Deng acted by ordering in the military dissipate all the protestors, this was when the protest turned violent as the other anon who replied to you said they sent in a first wave without guns this resulted in them being attacked, killed, lynched and burnt alive. The protestors also attacked a large column hundreds of military APCs and other vehicles with Molotov Cocktails. They also attacked military supply buses carrying assault rifles and grenades using these to open fire on the PLA and police. These were the protestors killed by the PLA (around 200 protestors and at least 23 soldiers and police died during this fight) this happened in the streets and area outside the square not inside of it. There was never any slaughter in the square or crushing people with tanks as the liberal narrative wants you to think. The square was finally successfully cleared, it was chaotic but there never was any massacre of civilians. The famous 'tank man' image isn't even from the June 4th clearing of the square its from the day after and the tanks are leaving the square not entering it.
After these events Zhao Ziyang was put under a life sentence of house arrest and his allies were expelled from the party. In the end Deng was fully correct in using the PLA, it saved world Communism from being completely defeated in the late 1980s. it's just sad that the Warsaw Pact didn't stop their color revolutions the same way.

>>2751461I'm not "trusting" anything. I'm looking for a counter-argument.
>>2751457This is a classic attack on Communist nations dating back to least the 1950s when the Yugoslav anti-communist Milovan Djilas published a book called
The New Class (1957) the basic idea is that communism is pointless because they have abandoned Marx and recreated a new class society of bureaucrats and business executives and that we need to stay capitalist because 'at least that class society has human rights', etc. The media will use any tactic & strategy they can to undermine communist countries and stop people from supporting them, this is just that same tactic from the first cold war reused.

>>2751635Pedophilia is a symptom of reactionary thinking. The desire to halt the dialectical development of nature extended to sexuality. Rightism creates pedophilia.

https://epoch.org.tw), writes for WSJ, the Economist, etc. This is where you're getting your views from? The dude doesn't understand Marxism, affirms Western bourgeoise democracy and has been betting against China for decades. In 2003, he published the article 'Can India overtake China', where he argued that China's bureaucratic system was not conducive to long term economic/technological development, and that India would ultimately overtake China. We can all observe how that turned out. However, I think it's actually an advantage for China when Experts in the West are like him. They reduce the analytical quality of discussions about China. Policies and decisions end up getting informed by flawed data and ideological distortion, just listen to any of his panels filled with the same China Watcher types to see how this echo chamber reinforces itself.
>>2751574One delivers noodles in Shanghai. The other delivers tacos in NYC. Only one has healthcare, a pension, and legal rights. Guess which? In China, the sector is getting formalized. They have government mandated benefits like providing healthcare to gig workers. Local governments in China provide in-person support. Meanwhile, the US does not have a centralized, nationwide push for formal benefits for gig workers because they are considered independent contractors. Anyways, the whole sector will get automated within the coming decades as China climbs the dialectical ladder and build superabundance with sophisticated AI embed machines and abundant renewable energy. It's a process, not static. As the productive forces advances, the sector as we know it today will also get dissolved, enabling a new higher relations of production.

>>2752916Japanese military literally violently invades Chinese sovereign territory and the CPC issues a letter of complaint LMFAO
>>2752931Most Japanese Christians are notoriously left wing, anti-nationalist and pacifists which makes sense because an ultra nationalist Japan would crucify them and they are the opposite of Shinto. It is also why there was controversy when Emperor Akihito married Michiko, not just because she came from a Catholic family but what being Catholic meant towards what she would be sympathetic towards. Notice Akihito admitted things such as Korean ancestry that enraged ultranationalists, sometimes they blame Michiko for giving him sentiments like that.
What is more likely by "god" is the Unification Church cult which is severely anti-China or by god meant the Emperor. Either way the motive is clearly Anti-China
>>2753875Thank you for the informative response anon, that was very interesting
>>2753875>Most Japanese Christians are notoriously left wingI wouldn't say that. Some churches do emphasize pacifism but it was largely as a postâWW2 reaction against earlier nationalist involvement. But that doesnât make them ânotoriously left wing.â They aren't known for making actual leftist critiques of the economy as a unified political bloc. If anything, Christianity is mostly an elite religion in Japan so you have a a group overrepresented among the elite. That's why despite Christians are 1% of the Japanese population, there have been 9 Christian prime ministers since 1900 in Japan. The most recent ones Aso Taro was clearly conservative/rightwing. Hatoyama Yukio was more of a moderate and establishment, not ideologically leftist. His âleft-leaningâ is mostly relative to Japanâs conservative baseline
>An ultra nationalist Japan would crucify themHistorical persecution centuries ago is not the same as modern reality. Japan today legally protects religious freedom and Christians openly practice their faith. There is no contemporary threat of persecution for Christians.
>>2753990Good post, I just simplified it
>If anything, Christianity is mostly an elite religion in Japan so you have a a group overrepresented among the elite. That is the connection with some early Japanese socialist thinkers. They went to missionary Christian schools and got educated. Many such as Sen Katayama were Christian Socialist and were the ones leading most labor organization. This gave a stereotype because they were overrepresented in the socialist movement in the Taisho and Early Showa period and the rise of Japanese militarism demanded that they see the Emperor as a God which went against their beliefs and ended up with tension and later persecutions.
After WWII the first Socialist Prime Minister was the Christian Socialist Tetsu Katayama. But the shift began in many elite circles after and with U.S. occupation, from then on Christians were going to be trained in US universities and that is a lot of the post-WWII Christian Prime Ministers come from as you implied. However, there is still overrepresentation in left movements and are in the forefront of opposing visits to Yasukuni Shrine and the Imperial System. I am going to show a paper written about this phenomenon because it is well known in Japan about Japanese Christian overrepresented on the left and not Japanese enough.
>Historical persecution centuries ago is not the same as modern reality. Japan today legally protects religious freedom and Christians openly practice their faith. There is no contemporary threat of persecution for ChristiansBecause Japan hasn't been completely taken over by the far right yet. The tone is going to be different if they take over ESPECIALLY when the US isn't hovering over them. State Shinto barely tolerated them for not being militarist and not acclaimed the divinity of the Emperor to being persecuted when the Americans declared war. In short, the Japanese Christians are elitist but they are weird because they can never be truly nationalistic Japanese due to their beliefs. Contrast this with Korean nationalism where Christians played an important part in their independence and allows them to be nationalistic and Christian. Japanese Christians can't do the same
