It is true. People love the CPC now. Xi really turned it around and this past year seeing the US stumble over itself has really boosted the CPC.
they've put a huge amount into reducing pollution over the last decade which was a growing public complaint around 2010. their government is more responsive to public sentiment than the USA tbh
Good outcome but there are definitely some unnecessary steps in this process.
"We got screwed. We notified the local bureaucrat. The local bureaucrat immediately provided remedy."
Sounds like a reasonably tight ship.
It's not Full Communism, but it is a vastly superior alternative to the US "we pretend to work and they pretend to pay us" model.
Well, to be fair, the mortgage shouldn't have higher priority than unpaid wages in the first place.
The bank is a state owned enterprise. Why did it have priority over the workers in the first place?
A contract between a borrower and lender doesn't typically mention the borrowers employees. How the borrower spends the money isn't part of the terms of the loan.
Maybe the problem is that a single individual is considered credit worth, while the employed masses are not. Perhaps China would be better under a German Mitterstand model or just go straight for democratically controlled workplaces with capital delegated out by a central committee.
But in this case, the bank did not ultimately have priority over the workers. The bureaucrats did the right thing, which is the best you can ask for in a bureaucratic model of governance.
This has nothing to do with the loan contract and everything to do with the court that auctioned the assets and the laws that govern how the proceeds from that sale are allocated. That the bank was given priority over the employees is a systematic flaw. That should have never occurred in the first place! The employees should have been paid their unpaid wages first, and the remnants would go to the bank.
This is pretty simple.
I don't know how it works I just see screenshots on r/badhistory and r/bad linguistics.
Sounds like if ombudsmen actually had some kind of authority or clout.
