Russia could care less

You don't need guns to bring a nation to its knees

Iran could care less

theyre allies = countries theyve forced to have economic dependance on them

No they're not, nobody cares that China's "communist"

@Deleted User merica does

implying they are even "communist"

^

Not looking to imply that

theyre not

but they insist they are

and they support communist nations

They are communist in name

It used to be communist.

they don't need to ally America, they just need to stay in touch with their eocnomy, at this point it's a tad too a tad too late

they want to be communist

but communism doesnt really.. ehh... work

which why they switched to superior chad socialism

or state capitalism

not really state capitalism either

just authoritarian

like extremely authoritarian

they own most of the banks sure

whatever they're doing, the econoym is doing well and the government is "stable"

but besides that

@Deleted User because they censor everything

It's only stable on the surface

well yeah

China has problems yeah but the government posed itself in a way it doesn't need to care

it cares a lot

censorship

in that sense yes

without it the country would face several reforms and potentially a new government (not likely but possible)

they know the people have doubts but almost all revolts are crushed, I mean name a time China was swept by protests other than Tiananmen

well like

throughout history

what happens to super authoritarian nations

now that i look at it

china is kinda fascist

All you need is one example for the state to worry

especially since chinas economy is starting to slow, which is like the only thing keeping them stable
