Pay the workers you filthy capitalists :xi-gun:

Surveillance cameras and windows smashed by men with sticks

Workers complain of delayed pay, insufficient food

    This is just disingenuous, central planning is very widely powerful, and can be applied to any society, more population just means more work. Don't discount it just because the current China doesn't have it adopted.

      The Soviet Union still used abacuses in their grocery stores all the way up to its dissolution. That's mechanical and mental computation. Their planned economy was quite literally based off of elbow grease and midnight candles.

      Modern China would have a hard time doing a sudden shift to a planned economy yet modern technology and its availability has made the planned economic model infinitely easier than it was a century earlier. They're literally in a finger trap of their own making.
