That all sounds good to me and I like the system very much, but you just offered a description of the system rather than an explanation for how the people in China exert more control over their economy than what is typical in a Western capitalist society. Those societies get their representatives through democratic voting and conduct surveys to understand public opinion as well.
I am. It's the long term trend of a country that was extremely socialist/communist turning into a country that is much more free market and less socialistic/communistic than before and that's what bought the success. This is the long term trend.
Compared to the long term trend, this is a bump in the road. Also, it cannot be established that China is becoming more socialist in this time period simply because there are more regulations on its economy, which can be seen all over the world. You have argued that pointing out something as a commonality between China and capitalist nations does not mean that it is not socialist but once again, it certainly cannot be used as evidence that it is socialist. China's improvements that you have pointed out are most accurately described as common improvements made to all advancing societies. Aside from those things including the most impressive poverty alleviation, Chinese society and its unquenchable lust for wealth leading to the unprecedented rate of the rising private wealthy class are a clear movement towards free market and capitalism that is kept under control by the state to ensure that they can rise and make massive contributions but don't take over national interest. That is the beauty of the unique Chinese system that is neither too much socialist nor too much capitalist.
So you say that China is socialist, then you say that it's a spectrum as no one is fully socialist or capitalist. In this case, you cannot just say that China is socialist, especially because you've pointed out that there are countries that call themselves capitalist out there that are more socialist than China. To rephrase that, you are saying that China is more capitalist than some capitalist countries. Given that statement, one can certainly not say that China is just socialist.
I agree with your spectrum very much and my main divergence from you is that I believe that China has moved so far away from pure socialism on that spectrum that socialism is no longer an accurate tag; of course, neither is capitalism. It should be called China-ism or something much more clever. I agree with China's system; I think it is the best in the world, but I don't care for the inaccurate title because it gives credit to something that has not earned it. China deserves the credit, not Marx or other early founders of the socialist model.
Meh you know their tricks.
I wonder which countries in the EU are at the forefront in pushing this agenda against China?Really looking forward to hear what came of the discussions with Ireland.... If things go well it'd be a helluva way to geopolitically stick it to the EU and Britain.
Results and data speaks. So my question for you is where are the data/numbers that can support their idiotic wishful thinking. Take their farming that they had to dole out $24 Billion for their farmers who have pretty much lost a lot of money and the money were not enough to sustain farming income. The U.S. has yet to show that their strategies has to show any tangible results.Meh you know their tricks.
There is no way that Biden can let some of these "big" mask companies close. The Republicans would eat him alive for "shipping American jobs to Chyna!"
I am expecting protectionist measures in order to keep these companies in business. Whats funny is these CEOs know that Biden cannot let these companies close, so get ready for them to get the US to the cleaners lol
Eastern Europe for sure. With UK out of the EU, the US needs a new lieutenant to keep tabs in the EU. And with the EE hostility towards Russia, and then seeing Russia and China best friends, they will push against China.I wonder which countries in the EU are at the forefront in pushing this agenda against China?
This time i will pass your provocative style of communication. I'll just point you some things, like Marx's Das Kapital is a UN cultural heritage. His scripts motivated and motivate billions of people, so you're just a little bit...little to judge his work. He was the first thinker to put the matter of human well being and social evolution as a whole in the academic arena (political economy, philosophy) when no one dared or had the intellectual capability to do it. If you take a look (I mean read, not google and wiki) on political economy and philosophy proexisted Marx, like Thomas Hobbes(Leviathan), John Locke, even some parts of Adam Smith( That "invisible hand" invention is by him ), Kant and DesCartes, you will probably grow brain cancer. Believe me, these are the basic ideas and principals of the Liberals and Liberalism. By result, what do you think, Marx was right to criticise Liberalism? That Liberalism that led children to work 12hours in factories...Child labour abolished with bloody struggles of people motivated by Marxian ideas. The core of Marx's ideas are yet to be decomposed even by nowdays thinkers. In contrary CPC for example set it's principals on Marxism and try to evolve it. Marxism is not a dogma.Anyway, have a good time!I made no ad hominem against you. Pointing out your failures to understand the English words that you wish to define (cooperate) and the weakness of every socialist nation is just fact. They are no ad hominem and once again, you used a term you did not understand. Calling someone a mutant is an ad hominem and a desperate nonsensical one at that.
No, that is a higher level of thinking than you. These countries are all weaker than capitalist nations of comparable size. Socialism can embargo capitalism and turn the world around if it were strong enough to catch on. In that case, the dominant countries in the world would be socialist and the few weak capitalist hold out nations can be embargoed. But instead, socialism is weak and broken. Countries that dare try it end up weak and failed; it cannot spread and thus it finds itself at a severe weakness against the capitalist world today. Your thinking is limited to the current situation of what little places like Cuba could do to the US now, but the scope is much larger than that. Socialism could take over the world if it worked better than capitalism; it could be on even terms with many socialist countries against many capitalist countries both sides being peer to each other if it worked about as well as capitalism. But the situation is neither; socialist countries are small, weak, and few; they are bullied by the capitalist world because they chose a system that is weak, defunct, and thus unable to spread.
Well, to be given credit for something, you need to actually formulate it. If Marx's writings are just about the flaws of capitalism (which I joyfully observe in the countries that antagonize China), and that there needs to be trial and error to find the perfect system, his idea is too vague to be credited. Everybody knows perfection comes from trial and error; it is not his concept. China built an excellent system for itself that is neither too capitalistic nor too socialistic and it is continuously evolving from trial and error. All credit goes to China. China may choose to call it socialist because of how China started and because there is no pre-existing definition for China's newly invented system, but the fact is, even on a spectrum of socialist and capitalist policies, China no longer stands sufficiently at the side of socialism for it to be accurately called that and that is true even when compared to some self-declared capitalist countries.
You forgot SebiaEastern Europe for sure. With UK out of the EU, the US needs a new lieutenant to keep tabs in the EU. And with the EE hostility towards Russia, and then seeing Russia and China best friends, they will push against China.
Italy is another one. Their new Prime Minister "Super Mario" Draghi was parachuted straight out from an EU institution, the ECB (central bank). He has recently started talking about being anti-China.
Another one is the Nordic countries (afraid of Russia so they allowed US influence to enter....)
European Parliament. Its just full on CIA-controlled at this point. Forget about it
Now who is pushing for Good relations with China?
Hungary (Honestly, its China Best friend lol)
Greece (Although the recent Gov is US- leaning)
Portugal
Germany (sans the Greens ofc, they are coming into power in September though...)
France (neutral to slightly China leaning)
I probably forgot the smaller states but these are the biggest countries for and against China
Serbia is a friend of China but it is not in the EUYou forgot Sebia
