  • Your understanding of Chinese infrastructure isn’t rigorous if it’s entirely based on some sensationalist viral videos of some places which look bad. Yeah, it’s a massive country with a billion people, some of those places look bad in a video. I’m not happy about the bad construction you see there, nor the real estate speculation causing some of it (which isn’t a communist feature).

    You can find lots of videos of places in the US and Canada looking bad too, only it’s like cops destroying the tents and property of unhoused people in the streets. But in response to those we might say “oh that’s terrible, they should fix that” and not the “we gotta overthrow the authoritarian government” when it’s about China.

    Putin does not care about the well-being of Ukrainian citizens

    Of course not, he has never. He is acting in self-interest because Ukraine and the US are escalating violence. Do you remember the lethal aid Biden sent? Where do you think that lethal aid went? Who do you think it was shot at?

    we’re teetering on Putin apologia and sharing RT news uncritically.

    Putin is a corrupt bastard. I think many on this site cannot tell the difference between not viewing him as satanic vs licking his boot. I wasn’t going to try to argue this until your post came up.

    So, China is clearly better than the US, considering that workers in BRI countries complain about price dumping, but countries in the American sphere complain about death squads. That said, we need to listen to workers and socialists who aren’t in power. The NPA says they’re getting shot with Chinese bullets. Workers in China still go on strike. Class struggle still exists in China, even if the state and party buffer it.
