Bloomberg seems kind of split on China. I see a bunch of pro-China content from them with a lib bent, but then they put out some garbage at other times. It’s a bit weird.
China has no opinion polls, so we don’t know exactly how the population feels.
This feels like a lie? Is this something the state controls and prevents or are they making shit up?
Yeah, it’s very much a mixed bag I find. The whole no opinion polls is absolutely made up. Collecting public opinion is a big part of doing the 5 year plans. Maybe they mean there are no opinion polls done by western polling agencies?
Yeah I used to know a CEO of a middling US manufacturer, and he genuinely loved China specifically because he thought they were really good at capitalism.
there seems to be an incredibly strong correlation between reading all 3 volumes of Marx’s Critique of Political Economy and understanding how capitalism works. How could this possibly be?
Bloomberg seems kind of split on China… a bunch of pro-China content from them… but then they put out some garbage at other times
Then there’s their “The Big Hack” story where Bloomberg tells the world that China is 40 years ahead of the entire world in chip technology while also saying china bad! (/s)

They literally used an opinion poll in the article
western journalistic integrity in a nutshell
Makes sense to me
China is objectively better at capitalism than the United States is. Bloomberg likes it when countries are good at capitalism. So China good.
However, China being better at capitalism goes against Bloomberg’s entire philosophy, they’re evil communists! So China bad.

They’re making shit up
First Western polling of China that showed up in a search:https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/07/long-term-survey-reveals-chinese-government-satisfaction/
I think they’d argue that that’s not Chinese polling. And if it was a Chinese poll, it wouldn’t be credible. ~Non-falsifiable Parenti quote.~
EDIT: Does the subscript thing not work or what? First time trying it.
You can’t have spaces in your sub/superscript.

Or you can just escape the spaces.

Thanks.
Oh duh of course. Thanks.
