Hello! I would like to start off by apologizing because I know a thread like this gets posted every other day and it can border on (or actually be) concern-trolling, but I wanted to get a rough survey of opinions here on a topic.
Specifically, do you have any criticisms of China’s contemporary culture? Its government? What are they?
I’m of the opinion that there are a lot of low-hanging fruit in this regard, like the patriarchal social order that [whatever one might say about its status in other nations] is certainly an ongoing problem for the matter of women’s liberation. I also think it’s both socially backwards and bad for national security to not have gay marriage, because we’re all familiar with how the US loves infiltrating student movements.
I also rather regret how the CPC seems to be trending towards expanding the role of the profit motive rather than shrinking it. See these statements:

Do you agree with these points? Do you have your own criticisms? Am I totally off-base? Let me know!
(btw I’m also familiar with the idea of sharing criticism with comrades but finding public criticism to be counter-productive, but I don’t want to spend all day listing caveats)
Do what? The USSR was barely an economic threat to the US, and ultimately ceased to exist.
The PRC has not only survived the endless waves of imperialist sabotage, but also thrived. It is, without a doubt, the most prosperous country in the world, and those gains could not have been made without the socialist market economy.
What? even going by GDP it was by far the 2nd largest economy which Like I said I think fucking sucks when measuring planned economies, and it collapsed because of the ideological rot of pizza man and his pizza co conspirators (+no automated computer economy
I think they mean that the USSR managed to bankroll entire socialist countries and survive without seemingly as many capitalist reforms as the PRC
