Except Xi Jinping is not oppressing owners of capital. China has lots of oligarchs that in some ways have a tighter grip on society than their western counterparts. He’s oppressing people that are “inconvenient” to him.
Did you get that info from the same dudes insisting that killing Brian Thompson was, like, not okay guys? Businessmen in China are scared shitless of the party, and so should they, the party has 87 million members and a 90+ approval rating.
There’s no CEO in china wielding one tenth of the influence that weird nazi Elon Musk has, or Bill Gates’ vaccine privatizing ass.
Maybe .ml should learn to read past simple platitudes of “billionaires are ok because we need to do business”. Just because castro said good things about xi, doesnt mean workers havent been locked up in factories.
I just dont like billionaires in any form wether or not they work as “adapters”.
The article is just long form “the west has them, so we should have them”. Billionaires arent under the peoples control. they’re under the control of a dictator.

All vibes, no thoughts.
These are all vibes, can you explain exactly how and why you believe Xi is simply “oppressing those invonvenient” to him?

Elon Musk openly daydreams about being Ma Huateng. What does that tell you?
Elon Musk is an idiot.

You will note that china has 406 billionaires.
So way fewer billionaires per capita with a way smaller fortune than the ones in the US, despite having a bigger economy? Oh no, this is a disaster.

Oh ok, i guess its ok for billionaires to exist as long as they simp for your dictator of choice.
Getting a liberal to read is borderline impossible. They can’t even stomach short articles anymore.
Maybe we can find a way to write a really long headline and trick them into it

It isn’t, actually. It attempts to examine why the PRC has them in the first place.
They skimmed it for talking points, ain’t no way a person with such surface level opinions can analyze that article in 5 minutes lmao
Sure. Read my comment going over why that is, and why that doesn’t mean China suddenly isn’t Socialist.
