Not a promising start to the debate....ignoring one set of facts, (which you will need to dispose of - or be revealed as an ideological  fraud),  to present another set of "facts", but let' read on:

Quote:


When it suits. Snowden had to seek refuge in Russia, and Assange has been pursued and incarcerated for a decade for revealing US war crimes.

Quote:


The war crimes of the US are far more devastating. 

Quote:


I already showed China is well down on the list of countries affected by alcoholism. 

Quote:


And Oz is a paradigm of domestic serenity...but hey don't you know, "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones' ...you have already proved incapable of 'looking to the thorn in your own eye..". 

Quote:


But inequality is even worse in the "land of the free"  US (google it), with egregious homelessness being a shocking manifestation, in a wealthy country.

Quote:


Addressed above.


So...ready to debate the facts:

1. US per capita GDP  is 5 times China's (down from 50 times, four  decades ago).

2. US inequality is greater than  inequality in China.

3.  US poverty is evidence of greater systemic economic dysfunction BECAUSE  of the above two facts.

or be exposed as an ideological fraud lacking any insight at all...

And it's clear you are a delusional "freedom" ideologue,  satisfied with entrenched poverty in the neoliberal democracies (even Sweden is now  descending into gun violence) , while claiming  the CCP is causing poverty in China - absurd - China did well over the last 4 decades until the paranoid US turned China's rise into a "threat".   

Consequently, with no insight, you demand 'freedom' over and above  international law outlawing war. Your blind 'freedom' psychosis makes you dangerous - and complicit in the present murder in Ukraine.
Why?


Because Man cannot be trusted with "freedom', his instinctive self-interest will always result in conflict and war, hence the need for international law to outlaw war. 

Go back to sleep while the slaughter continues in Ukraine, ...and Yemen and Syria and Palestine

Yes I fear that China will not achieve "a prosperous socialist society in all respects" by 2049 (the anniversary of the CCP government) unless it takes more judicious control of the market economy.

China of course, with its vast productive capacity, would be  unstoppable if the PBofC  understood MMT, and hence avoided accumulation of government debt owed to private financiers.

Half the line is a popular, though vacuous,  CCP propaganda phrase. But that doesn't really help. Try reading what it actually says, and comparing that with what you meant to say.

Truth always deserves to be known; but past events may have little relevence to present problems.

Most elderly Chinese  remember the experience of absolute poverty, they are amazed by the nation's progress over a mere 4 decades.

Of course, recently Xi has discovered the evil side-effects of neoliberlism, and is taking the necessary steps to eliminate those evils, as the paranoid US - intent on maintaining global hegemony - is attempting to decouple from China's vast supply chains in the 'factory of the world'.
