        Just random ones, most of the works are very short, but it really helps you learn the PRC’s long term strategy for how to defeat the #1 contradiction in the world today: capitalist-imperialism / the inequality between rich and poor countries, and the theft of surplus value from millions of global south proles to feed the imperialist countries.

        China is pretty much the only country that’s been able to escape the low wage trap that every other global south country is still suffering under, and that’s thanks to Deng Xiaoping and the brilliant comrades who created SWCC.
