These people are citing those videos titled “CHINA IS COLLAPSING” as a credible source lol. How much of this is an op by those channels to get more views?

      I don’t care. I’d prefer a global economic system that doesn’t let countries get away with genocides and other human rights violations just because people would lose money if they even just say something about it

      If Xinjiang is really a genocide then ICE camps are an even worse genocide. :picard-direct-action:

      the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

    In America, for example, most folks have accepted that it is too costly to buy a home right now. But China is different, socially and economically, real estate is a status symbol as much as it is an investment. If you do not own property, many women (for example) will not even consider you as relationship material. So regardless of the cost, people have been investing heavily into owning multiple homes, even if they do not plan on living in them.

        China is the only place on Earth where people see real estate as a status symbol or an investment. Americans know when to buy and will only buy when they need to live in the property, hence why there's never been a real estate crisis in the US

    The USSR didn't fall or collapse really, it was forcefully dissolved. As of 1991 the overwhelming majority of the population still wanted the USSR around.

    It's bs that the majority of the ussr wanted it around. Most citizens wanted to leave the ussr and cooperate with the EU and Nato even more. That's literally why the ussr collapsed.

    You mean I get to have historically/politically-illiterate redditors smugly "school" me on the Soviet Union in addition to China? You shouldn't have!

      When Xi does something for the people it is evil manipulation, he is tricking the people into liking them by giving them what they need in times of crisis. What a devious schemer.

      Here's a Sixth Tone article about it from last month. The long short of it is that it's common practice in China to buy a house before it gets built, and there are industry regulations requiring that money spent on unbuilt houses goes into protected accounts to protect the buyer, but it seems that a lot of developers may have been investing the money illegally and when the stock market dipped during COVID a lot of it vanished. We're hearing about it now because a lot of homes are supposed to have been finished by now that aren't even started, and the development companies are complaining about not having the cash to do it.

      Regardless of what the central government does or doesn't do, a lot of working class Chinese people are currently holding the bag, and so there are mortgage strikes and protests breaking out. The stuff about tanks is completely made up though - AFAIK there were images from an unrelated military parade/exercise that went around Twitter with people saying it was a government crackdown on protesters.

        So you mean the supposed uprisings against the communist party of China are actually people opposing landlords and capitalists who broke the law? As in, literally the exact opposite?

      No, it's just repetition of the initial protests on that one banking company that screwed over people and didn't hand over deposits. That was resolved by the government. As for the tanks it was misreported the tanks were sent out to the demonstrators and instead it was random footage of a training exercise in some other location.
