I like the food alright. Their brand of communism that's just an autocracy with a side of capitalism - in communist giftwrap gets me, tho.
Then again, we in the US do the same with freedom and liberty while restricting your life to the small sphere it allows you to afford.
Fuck both, kinda?
I like china because i've always liked their push for clean energy. also as someone from the global south i have no hope left for Europe or the united states, especially with most of western leaders seeming so keen to push far right governments to control my country or my neighbors. So i see china at least as a counterweight. I know this oppinion is scary to westerners, but westerners not being in complete control for once can be actually good.
Clean energy? Energy period is what China pushes, they've been HALF of the world's coal consumption for the last 15 years or so. For every solar farm, a coal plant.
Could that have anything to do with china being the world manufacturing hub? Decades of offloading industrial capacity to a single country and then blaming them for the emissions that causes?
?? I should applaud China for building brand new coal plants because China hollowed out industry and destroyed worker's power elsewhere in the world?
Oh yeah, big bad China stole your industry lmao, it wasn't your own leaders choosing the cheapest option that allows them to extract hyper profits. And to say China destroyed worker power is laughable, the goal of the entire West has been to destroy labor unions and bargaining power.
