Most socialists/communists support the PRC, it isn't particularly unusual.

Easy, but wrong. The US Empire is orders of magnitude worse than the PRC, which itself is a progressive and continuously improving force for good. The PRC is imperfect, but the fact that it is consistently improving both domestically and internationally makes qualitatively different from the US Empire.
No problem!
They deleted their own message, the mods didn't touch it.
Only the US needs a revolution. The vast majority in the PRC support their system and believe it is working in their interests. That makes sense, considering the PRC is socialist, and not under a dictatorship of capital. A revolution in the PRC would only result in the restoration of capitalism, and likely plundering from the US, setting back the global progression to socialism by a century by letting the US Empire last even longer.
Xinjiang: A Report and Resource Compilation
The PRC is not murdering Uyghurs. It's genuinely a complex situation, but you can absolutely rely on the west to uncritically report their paid propagandist and christian nationalist Adrian Zenz of the "Victims of Communism" state department propaganda outlet.
Coffee, Marxism-Leninism, sci-fi, reading, RPGs, TTRPGs, retro gaming, working out, and cooking! That's basically me.
Nice! If energy is the limiting factor, then that's actually a good thing, the PRC is rapidly improving solar production and nuclear energy, as well as rapidly expanding it. I just hope the global oil industry gets phased out in favor of cheap solar and nuclear.
As for fascism, Wikipedia pretty clearly puts it at a far-right ideology, one that first appeared in Italy with Mussolini. I don't really put too much stock in Wikipedia vs books on the subject, but I'm not really aware of any non-far-right version of fascism.
Urumqi is in Xinjiang, seems cool to visit! Would love to. Most of my Chinese friends are online, so they don't really say where they are from (neither do I), but I'd expect somewhere near the coast or more populous like Congqing or Chengdu, Shangai, etc.
Already working on becoming vegan personally. Given that the PRC has developed tech to combat desertification, I do think they are more likely to invent tech to combat CO2 in the atmosphere.
You don't get "disappeared" for "slandering the government in any way." That's a very western framing of cracking down on capitalists that get out of line and try to undermine the socialist government. You have your anecdotal evidence, I also speak with Chinese citizens, and they more often than not do agree with the graph.

Yes we do. The PRC is in the developing stage of socialism. The large firms and key industries are publicly owned, the medium firms are heavily controlled and planned, and as they grow they are further integrated into the planned nature of the economy. This is the general path to sublimating property and gradually collectivizing it. The US Empire, on the other hand, has private ownership of the large firms and key industries, and runs on imperialism, ie vast expropriation of wealth from the global south via financial and millitary domination.
I suggest reading Marxist-Leninist theory, if you want somewhere to start, I wrote an introductory reading list targetting those interested in theory but who don't know where to start.
