Some times it takes an outsider to see the problems, and I’m not alone in seeing massive democratic problems in China. You don’t know who participated in that poll (and neither do I) was it random people on the street or pro party people? With the amount of surveillance in China, I probably would think twice before speaking against the party.
The communist party has the sole power in China, while other parties technically are legal they haven’t got any power higher than city/regional level.
And then there’s the corruption, they have massive problems with that.
And before you go “hurr durr other countries bad” yes other countries do have problems and some may be worse than China, but that doesn’t legitimise Chinas government.
They lifted 800 million people out of poverty in 40 years and 90% of Chinese adults own their own home. They haven’t dropped a bomb in 50 years. They produce more solar panels in a year than the rest of the world has combined so far.
What happens in China if, in a protest, you burn the Chinese flag? In fact, what happens if you choose to protest against the government without obtaining licensure to do so through that government? Article 296 of criminal law. What about gay couples who want to get married or adopt kids? They must not have included gay people in that equal rights part of your graph.
Literally not true over a million people and 2,500+ protests. Also does nothing to dispute anything I said. What I said is all objectively true and codified into law, what you said is unsupported, not codified. Though you may be able find small fringe cases, that’s not the case for the overwhelming majority and I would heavily disagree with the US or any government doing that in the first place.
Yes, I don’t like that and I think its abhorrent. It also says nothing about Gaza protests… These actions are being fought in courts and widely protested. Gonna address anything I said or just redirect to America bad? As if my postion is America is perfect lmao. “Third world country” is also a pretty telling phrase for you to use. You are a bad steward of your misguided ideals. Why would I have to defend one country because I’m criticizing another ?
Sorry I’m elderly and my language is slow to adapt to the times lol.
That’s a pretty slippery edit on your comment big guy. No I don’t think I’ll continue talking with someone who’s going to retroactively edit their comments like that. Have a good one 👌

Yeah. There’s a lot to like.
Also, more data from a “better” source.

Tankie ideology treats China/USSR/North Korea the way that MAGA ideology treats trump.
Vote blue no matter who! 🤪

What happens if you protest the genocide in gaza in America? You get deported to a torture dungeon in a third world country.
