    Dude, they're literally about to transition to socialism. Any year now.

    Real talk: the Chinese people are still being exploited by imperialism due to where they are in the world's chain of production. Xi seems kinda cool, but also it seems like capitalists/free-marketeers still have a lot of political influence? Would love to visit and learn more about what Chinese leftists are up to/thinking about. For the foreseeable future, China and America are yoked together.

      ive read through a lot of xi's history and talked with some chinese friends about it. the rub is that xi is more 'left' than his predecessors but theres a ton of dudes underneath him that are very market oriented and right wing in comparison. xi is basically just waiting for these guys to slip up so he can purge them from the party. he has a history of doing that.

        I read something about Chinese citizens basically having some kind of super smart phone that has all their information on it (money maybe?). Any word on that?

        here are 26 capitalists in the lowest levels of the government but they are vastly and I mean vastly outnumbered by the party members appointed by workers and villages. They have 1 representative for every 15 people in a country of 1.6 billion

        Have you got a source for that? Would love to learn more.
