Nice one.
A communist country is a communist country, you can't say it's only half!
except that whole capitalist thing going on there
but sure
the government allows a lot of wealth to be made, and is far from being classless
or do we pick and choose the ideas of what makes a government full blown this or that
useless lables in the end. they are going to do what they want and keep calling it what they want
But as a political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs, there's not much wiggle room. Like it or hate it, they're a communist country the same way NK is a democratic republic, and deserve to be called out on it.
A fair bit of property is privately owned by really wealthy people
and some industry pay is competitive
I think most
its not really communist at all tbh
Mao would be rolling in his grave. Too bad he was so incompetent as chairman that he thought killing all the birds would improve the famine situation instead of making it much much worse.
I actually don't know much about Mao, that's just something that stuck out for me.
>increase security levels
oh baby, I know the struggle of having to hold off on theft when working in a company
>also including a review of the food
Man, if everything about China is fucked up, the only one good thing people can get right is the food
except they don't
I've never had food poisoning as bad as this one time I ate in china
Also Mao was basically turned China into Scientology
where'd you go eat?
Mao killed the intellectuals of China for what they had, then destroyed a good amount of the cultural history
For whatever reason he's did his best impersonation of stalin
and lucked out in the vaccuum when the prior leader chiang kai sek was a control freak who bumbled it all
I ate at a hotel restaurant
the food was good but just almost killed me
how did i almost kill you?
my wife is from taiwan, and when you read the history of how Mao took over, and how he ran China afterwards
it perplexes you
well, both sides were fucked in the head. Mainland RoC before PRC was a bunch of goons who didnt do anything outside of major cities
left the people in the styx to rot
stix*
if anyone is interested in Chinese history there is a cool uni lecture on podcast addict broken up into 8 episodes that go from dynastic china to modern day china which gives a bit of insight, is interesting
its called 'introduction to china' - latrobe uni
i live near a latrobe university lol
in melbourne?
if so it is the same latrobe uni, some lecturer uploaded his stuff as a podcast, is a good course it seems
yeah down plenty road
nice man i used to live in melb, now bris
I love China YouTubers. With the exception of cmilk and Winston, everyone's channel is only up for a short time talking about how much they love China, then they do a video "why Im leaving China "
