no doubt this is all very good and decent and we just don't get it because we don't practice "true democracy". great video btw, really makes it clear just how fucked up the CCP is, completely self-serving and don't give a rat's shit about the chinese people.

It's crazy how well it works considering the size of their population. A good sized organized revolution by their people and their government is toast. That's probably why they take people away for minor "crimes" so they don't influence or wake anyone up before it's too late.

dunno if i'd say "well", they are just scraping by and even that takes absolutely massive amounts of censorship, and it'd all fall apart if they didn't have such a massive surplus of funds thanks to the rest of us. going to be interesting to see how long it lasts, because they can only just keep control with increasing amounts of coersion and force, which will hit a limit at some point, and they're already restricting things that allowed them to get to this point in the first place like foreign travel and proper education.

Scraping by?
They lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty & become a technological powerhouse in a short space of time. Today they sent a fresh crew to their space station, likely to be the only one in orbit soon.
Proper education?
China's students get the highest scores in the world in PISA testing.
