Apparently nobody does, because I don't see them attracting massive numbers of immigrants. But that could not be for lack of desire - I don't really know. I do know Chinese people and their feelings vary - we have lots of Chinese migrants and multigenerational citizens. You seem to have access to a very patriotic perspective they don't share with you.
Care to share with me a well sources explainer video or something to educate me? I have gotten most of my recent understanding from PolyMatter, and other non-Chinese sources.
I'm judging here on the basis of adherence to the most progressive interpretations of Marx and other philosophers and thinkers, and how it's going for the people in each nation more than anything - social justice and equality, healthcare, welfare, personal freedoms, security, standard of living, etc.
Tell me, where do you live? I'm fortunate enough to be from New Zealand. I certainly wouldn't want to trade my passport for any other country, or wish to have been born there. Maybe Luxembourg then I'd be stacked I guess, and maybe be able to do more to help the rest of the world get their shit together.
You're not going to find a single source or video covering all of China, what in particular are you asking for? The Prolewiki article on the PRC has 132 sources listed and would be a good general intro, and Qiao Collective's Socialism with Chinese Characteristics Study Guide can help you understand China's model.
I live in the US Empire, just like you I live in an imperialist country. Luxemburg only has the money they do through imperialism as well, it has incredibly low taxes and no capital gains tax so billionaires store their money in Luxemburg's assets. If you want to genuinely make the world a better place, then you'd do a far better job by opposing western imperialism and trying to build socialism in your own country.
That's why I vote Green my friend. We're on the same side. I just dont know if the existing stable "socialist" nations you cite really meet the definition or are any closer to the outcomes I'm sure you and I agree are indicators of real success.
I'll read what you've linked though, and share my thoughts. Cheers!
There's a huge amount of effort that goes into manufacturing consent against these countries in western countries. The two links I gave should be good for China, but you can delve much deeper or you can also look into other socialist states.
