The ideological difference between us lies in the attitude towards the government.
All China’s chairmen have worked at the grass-roots level or promoted from the grassroots level. They don’t need to perform in front of the public, they just need to prove that they have enough capacity to lead the country to be better.
Whether the masses trust the Chinese government is not important. It’s important that, whether we trust it or not, it still protects most of us. And lead the Chinese people to prosperity.
What about Taiwan?
Many years ago, Taiwan’s economy ranked first among China’s provinces.
@Dogman15
I relentlessly shit-talk the PRC because they’re overtly a capitalist, totalitarian, openly fascist bureacracy that pretends to be “communist” even though it is completely impossible to run a nation the size of Milwaukee according to the principals of communism, much less Literally The Largest Nation In Human History; they haven’t been “communist” since Chairman Mao went to Hell. Taiwan has its problems, every nation does, but they’re the China that has some common freakin’ sense about letting people decide how they want to be led instead of forcing them to abide by the dictates of unelected rulers. Chang was a bastard, but he was definitely the less bastardly option.
Communism is a dumb idea on any scale larger than a village or large extended family, specifically because human nature makes it functionally impossible to keep such a system from turning into Stalinism like the Soviets or Dengism like the PRC unless everyone involved knows everyone else involved and can dope-slap them into helping instead of gaming the system.
@TexasUberAlles
You and I disagree on some things, and agree on other things. This is one of those things we can agree on. The communist Chinese government is not to be trusted. Taiwan is basically what China could be if it was good.
@TexasUberAlles
I doubt the authenticity of your friends. After all, Taiwanese often pretend to be mainland Chinese. But I think about it carefully. They may really be from mainland China.
After all, there are always people who don’t like their country. And China didn’t stop these people.
Besides, some people make up stories and over hype other countries. We’re used to it.╮(╯w╰)╭
(But it’s not against the law. They will not be punished for this.
Many people were cheated by them before. Now we just think it’s ridiculous.)
(By the way, I feel like you’re talking about the Kuomintang Communist civil war. After the failure of the Kuomintang in the war, it brought the troops from the mainland to Taiwan. Some of the soldiers’ families stayed on the mainland.
Just feel.)
@hummmmm
I have quite a few friends who escaped the PRC and also some who live/lived in Taiwan and had to leave family behind on the mainland, it’s one of many reasons I cheerleader for the ROC and hate the PRC so much.
The “People’s Republic of China” isn’t, isn’t and isn’t. It’s a fascist hellhole that leads the world in actively oppressing its own people.
The only reason the PRC isn’t invading its neighbors is because it’s too weak; its massive army is almost entirely devoted to internal suppression and couldn’t stand up longer than an afternoon against a serious first world military, and it doesn’t even have the functional capacity to mount a successful amphibious invasion of Real China across the Taiwan Strait, a fact clearly in evidence by the fact that it hasn’t done so already. To the north are Former Soviets still under a Russian nuclear umbrella, to the east are Japan and Good Korea under the US nuclear umbrella, to the west are India and Pakistan, which have their own nuclear deterrent, and to the south are a collection of economic vassal states which are more profitable to the fascist, capitalist bureacracy running the PRC as “clients” than they would be as conquered land. When it’s found places weak enough to be rolled over, the PRC has rolled over them, like when it “annexed” Tibet to get access to Himalayan water supplies and pretended that it had ever had any kind of legitimate territorial claim to the area whatsoever, or all the guano-covered uninhabited islands it’s taken over and artificial reefs its built and installed illegal anti-ship and anti-aircraft missiles on as part of its laughably phony claims to any body of water it can see.
Once again we forget: that no one actually kicked out the RoC from the UN, it was the RoC who quit the UN when they accepted the PRC, because they RoC claimed to be the only legitimate government of China.
So the PRC has lifted Chinese people out of poverty like no other nation has, it has helped African nations develop like no “first world” country has, basically introducing them to the global market that has neglected them for decades, it has not invaded other countries and started meaningless, endless wars in middle east and south america, it’s the number 1 when it comes to investment on renewable and nuclear energy. But it’s still evil because it doesn’t hold elections? because it doesn’t let Hong Kong, the former British colony and nest of sinophobia, choose their own system of government? Because of Pol Pot, who was an enemy of the revolutionaries that made the CCP? Let us remember that the US congress doesn’t allow DC to become an official state, that northern ireland and scotlant too have a loud minority of secessionists, so do Texas and California, even Puerto Rico, sometimes. And, unlike Taiwan and Hong Kong, liberating these states wouldn’t leave their former nations significantly more vulnerable to nuclear attacks or economic blockades.
