Quote:

Just as the CCP changed course on covid restrictions, even though covid cases soared as a result.

The CCP changed from denying covid even existed to welding people inside their apartment buildings. Talk about locking the gate after the horse has bolted. Covid cases did not soar. Just the official statistics. Both sets of policies were hated by the Chinese people. They were both the idiotic extreme, reflecting that the whim of dear leader over-rides everything.

Do you believe those official statistics?

Did you try to pass off the CCP covid statistics as coming from the American CDC? Is that because even you realise the CCP is cannot be trusted?

Can you explain how the CCP would gather statistics on the number of Chinese people dying from covid at the same time as denying covid even exists?

Do you see any parallels between the CCP propaganda during the Great Chinese Famine and the CCP propaganda during covid, or China's stagnant GDP over the last few years? Even while the CCP was starving Chinese people to death by the tens of millions, their propaganda machine was working so well they actually had the Chinese peasants feeling sorry for the poor starving Americans. Fast forward a few decades, and the CCP is again killing Chinese citizens by the millions with their mishandling of covid. Yet they have still managed to convince the peasants that they handled covid better than the American government and as a result had a far lower death toll. The CCP did not tell the truth about the Great Chinese Famine until after Mao was dead and they had a convenient corpse to blame it all on. Who do you think will have to die before the CCP admits that "mistakes were made" in their handling of covid. Not mistakes by the CCP obviously, but mistakes made by the latest corpse.

Quote:

The task for the CCP now is to understand the limits of free markets

So the median Chinese wage is still less than half of our unemployment benefits, but the CCP is worried about hitting the "limits"? Shouldn't their task be to finish catching up to the west, rather than trying to lurch back to communism? Or Japan? Or North Korea? China is still not even a first world country.

Ancient history; Chinese were still poor back then, so Western "freedoms" looked good enough for a few students to try a counter-revolution. There is no such
desire now, because the example of Western democratic neoliberaism is so deplorable.

[quoye]The CCP changed from denying covid even existed to welding people inside their apartment buildings [/quote].

That was before people forced the change.

And nobody knew how serious Covid was in the beginning; Victorians in various communities were locked-up in their their homes under pain of arrest.

And Oz has a small population; whereas China's health system could not cope with 700 million poor people getting sick.

Quote:

I know Chinese life expectancy is surpassing the US.

Quote:

Apart from the fact you failed to identify any CCP propaganda (after the panicked covid cover-up noted above, which involved lying rather than propaganda - and ALL governments tell lies...), you are incapable of discussing the current GDP "stagnation" and its relation to the current global stagnation, so of course your are blaming the CCP rather than the neoclassical f**kwits in the IMF and World Bank. .

Quote:

Your crippled, ideologically-blinded conservative brain can't understand historical processes; the CCP has lifted more peopple out of absolute poverty at the fastest rate in history; the task is ongoing to achieve common prosperity among the entire population (not only China's billionaries).

But now we are all facing the limits of (globalized) free mrkets, as evironmental and AGW climate catastrophes bear down on us.

Quote:

Low IQ: the limits of free markets are noted above, and badly affecting all of us now.

Quote:

No, the task should be achieving a "propserous socialist society in all respects" , since we know the neoliberal capitalist democracies only create increasing inequality, hyperpartisanship and social breakdown, amid homelessness and entrenched poverty.

[quote] Or Japan? Or North Korea? China is still not even a first world country.

Japan's GDP has been stagnant since their property bust in 1990; N.Korea is a closed command economy
unlike China which is the world's largest trading nation; even Trump can't compete so he is resorting to tariffs.

And Oz's GDP has also stagnated since the GFC, as have many countries after the US's property bust crippled the global economy, EXCEPT China.

That's funny - it wasn't long ago I watched a doco on the change of cultural demographics in China...

where once sons & daughters looked after their aging parents until death .... more & more are caught up in changing lifestyles and don't want to look after mum & dad anymore.

It was one thing I admired the Chinese & other Asian people for was treating their elderly with respect....& looking after them in their dotage...

times are a changing even in that regard.

Not lying, as explained below (again) to your delusional "individual rights/freedom", bigoted ideology.

(We already established the pro-rata covid death toll in the US was higher than in China., despite the latter's less developed health system)

In 1989, China was weak, and the CCP didn't want to fall to a counter-revolution which would have destroyed the CCP's goal of a Marxist revolution to advance national development AND the common welfare, the latter being unachievable in the large liberal democracies.

And the CCP has been proven correct: Russia's economy soon collapsed under Yeltin's democracy, with a huge decrease in Russian life expectancy; and apart from some economic growth under Putin, the Russian economy (unlike China) never recovered from the US-initiated GFC.

And today "politics doesn't work anymore" - as stated by a disillusioned radio commentator yesterday, and indeed the worlds richest democracies prove it, with chaos in S.Korea, France, Germany, the UK where Starmer is already on the nose despite being elected in a 'landslide' only 3 months ago; and the US where mainstream Dems and Repubs are seriously strategizing how to defend themselves from Trump

The actual question today is: who is a greater threat to world peace and development -Trump with 'America First', or Xi with a goal of global trade and development?

I am sure you have excuses for every instance in the past when the CCP has deliberately massacred or inadvertently killed millions of Chinese people. I am not expecting you to come up with their next excuse. I am asking you why you think the Chinese people will be better able to defend themselves from the CCP the next time round.

The world - including the Chinese people - is in far greater danger from the "austerity"-driven neoclassical ideologues in charge of the IMF - and like-minded ideologues in charge of national central banks - than from the CCP.

And the world is in far greater danger from Trump's resulting "Amerca First" policy** than the Chinese people are from Xi.

** a policy caused by the failure of neo-classical macro-enonomics to engender prosperity in all nations, and Trump's subsequent determination to 'go it alone' with an "America First", survival of the fittest process - as one radio commentator noted today.

Are you blaming the US for not ending all wars globally, and also claiming it is the same thing as the US starving 50 million of it's own citizens to death through sheer stupidity and efforts at saving face? Would you like to have another go at answering the question?

When was the last time government stupidity and face saving caused 50 million people to starve to death?

You also did not answer this question:

How many Chinese people did the CCP slaughter in their quest to seize power? 20 million?

Quote:

Are you trying to equate the deliberate slaughter by the CCP of millions of its own citizens with the defeat of the Nazis? Is that really how the CCP views it's own citizens? It is the CCP that should be equated with the Nazi regime, not the innocent Chinese people it slaughtered and starved to death.

Quote:

And you avoid the point made

It is irrelevant to the question I am asking. You claimed that the Chinese people are more able to defend themselves from the CCP than in the past. How? By throwing money at them?

China's population is aging rapidly, with citizens aged 65 and older already accounting for 14 percent of its 1.4 billion people. The country is expected to join the ranks of "super-aged" societies like Japan and South Korea in the coming years.

As more individuals leave the workforce than ever before, straining pension systems, the government has increased investment in elder care and related industries to manage the pressure.
...
Decades of the One-Child Policy have exacerbated China's demographic challenges. Despite ending the policy in 2016 and later allowing families to have two and then three children, few young Chinese are having bigger families. Rising urban living costs, stagnating wages, and a focus on personal well-being and leisure have all been cited as factors. As a result, the country's fertility rate fell to just 1.0 child per woman in 2023—well below the 2.1 needed to sustain the population—leaving fewer young people to care for both children and aging parents.

And Oz has a small population; whereas China's health system could not cope with 700 million poor people getting sick.

Quote:

Do you believe those official statistics?

I know Chinese life expectancy is surpassing the US.

Quote:

Do you see any parallels between the CCP propaganda during the Great Chinese Famine and the CCP propaganda during covid, or China's stagnant GDP over the last few years?

Apart from the fact you failed to identify any CCP propaganda (after the panicked covid cover-up noted above, which involved lying rather than propaganda - and ALL governments tell lies...), you are incapable of discussing the current GDP "stagnation" and its relation to the current global stagnation, so of course your are blaming the CCP rather than the neoclassical f**kwits in the IMF and World Bank. .

Quote:

So the median Chinese wage is still less than half of our unemployment benefits,

Your crippled, ideologically-blinded conservative brain can't understand historical processes; the CCP has lifted more peopple out of absolute poverty at the fastest rate in history; the task is ongoing to achieve common prosperity among the entire population (not only China's billionaries).

But now we are all facing the limits of (globalized) free mrkets, as evironmental and AGW climate catastrophes bear down on us.

Quote:

but the CCP is worried about hitting the "limits"?

Low IQ: the limits of free markets are noted above, and badly affecting all of us now.

Quote:

Shouldn't their task be to finish catching up to the west, rather than trying to lurch back to communism? Quote:

No, the task should be achieving a "propserous socialist society in all respects" , since we know the neoliberal capitalist democracies only create increasing inequality, hyperpartisanship and social breakdown, amid homelessness and entrenched poverty.

[quote] Or Japan? Or North Korea? China is still not even a first world country.

Japan's GDP has been stagnant since their property bust in 1990; N.Korea is a closed command economy
unlike China which is the world's largest trading nation; even Trump can't compete so he is resorting to tariffs.

And Oz's GDP has also stagnated since the GFC, as have many countries after the US's property bust crippled the global economy, EXCEPT China.

Rubbish - 1989 is not ancient history.

China had been in out of the cold since 1979.

Quote:

In December 1978 at the 3rd plenary session of the 11th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, Deng Xiaoping announced the official launch of the Four Modernizations, formally marking the beginning of the reform.

Neither is that an excuse to murder your own citizens by sending in the military and tanks nor for you to condone it because it was 33 years ago.

Quote:

Military units were brought in and unarmed protesters and onlookers were killed en masse. The Chinese government has never acknowledged the true events surrounding the Tiananmen massacre. It remains a contentious topic in China, with authorities banning all mention of the protest even today.

The Chinese authorities want everyone to forget that they killed hundreds, if not thousands, of unarmed peaceful pro-democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square in 1989.

Deplorable. Roll Eyes
