This article is pretty important as far as I’m concerned. I’ve been very careful not to simply take the rhetoric of the Chinese government at face value; I’ve made a point of cautiously judging them off the back of their actual actions instead. I think after these recent developments, no one can possibly deny that the Chinese government is in fact a dictatorship of the proletariat. Under no circumstances would a bourgeois dictatorship have imposed itself over its own ruling class in this way, to the point where its driving them all to become emigres, rats jumping off a ship they think is sinking. This is the behaviour of the defeated Russian Whites or the Cuban Gangster class scrambling over the sea to Miami.
When someone holds out their hand and assures you they’re your friend you should rightfully be cautious before taking it, but when your enemies rant and rave about how evil they are, you can rest assured they’re on your side.
I know what you mean. For me personally, seeing that China is actually committed to socialism, and isn’t just doing some weird capitalism thing wrapped in a red flag, has been the biggest but most welcome surprise of my political life.

No but bro, they have a McDonald’s /s
I mean, fair. McDonald’s is a crime against food the way adult anarchists are a crime against turning 14.
My thoughts exactly, the fact that capitalists are unhappy and some are actually leaving China clearly shows that they’re not getting their way.
