- American users have flocked to Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu in defiance of security warnings.

I love that capitalists attacking communists always end up accidentally attacking capitalism. Classic.
China is a capitalist country with aspects of socialism. it’s not really communist anymore.
No one here is shitting on communists, were shitting on you for a thinking the Chinese are any different than us.
China is a capitalist shithole but for some reason its biggest defenders are always self proclaimed western communists.
edit: we also have a few militant communists groups that like to blow up chinese nationals working for their govt every now and then.
What exactly do you think “capitalist” means? Because it sounds like you think any participation in markets is capitalism.
I think dengist policy introduced a capital holding class to China and that the workers don’t have democratic control of the workplace.
Fair nuance there, but they seem to be taking reform seriously. But we’ll see if that keeps up.
What do you think “capitalist” means? It sounds like you think it’s just market participation.
