    They both still use a lot of coal power.

    The 996 workweek is technically illegal, but enforcement is spotty and the system encourages low- and mid-level managers to cheat it.

    The prison system slaps people with unnecessarily large sentences for crimes that shouldn't be illegal.

    I love guillotine memes, but the death penalty is bad, folks.

    The One Child Policy created a crisis of unregistered kids (though many are now adults) who are frozen out of participation in Chinese society. Think the Dreamers but there's way more of them.

    No universal health care despite the fact that they are well past the point where they could do it.

    Still no gay marriage, and the censors sometimes crack down on independent LGBT media.

    All of that and more and I still uphold Socialism with Chinese characteristics. To paraphrase something capitalists have been lying to me about my entire life, it's the best system we've come up with so far.

        Always, but sometimes it's necessary I guess for very dangerous people.

      Honestly this is a pretty good comment dont take mywall of text as disagreement or an attack. I just want to share my internal reactions.

      1 and they are leading in phasing out fossil fuels while the US builds more pipelines.

      2 Yes the capitalists try amd cheat/exploit the system that will always be true.

      3 ? ?? Vague as hell and if you said this out of context we would automatically think US prisons. You know the ones designed for profit. I have a hard time beleiving any country could match the scale(or cruelty) of the US PIC.

      4 I agree with this statement, but looking at how its being used. China uses it on billionares. The Us uses it on black kids.

      5 Unlike the dreamers, the state actually course corrected and created a(functional) path for them to get registered rather than demonizing them.

      1. Ill take that as legit crit, is it as bad as the US? Ie does the state at least have the power to negotiate medical service/goods prices? 7 also legit crit. Anyone with deeper knowledge about AES cultures, id love to learn more.

      Im more of an anarchist than ML. Reason I dont crit china much cause on almost EVERY front, the uS is just worse and im busy critting that. I live in the us too, Im sorry Im more upset by children being forced into chain link cages, than kids being forced to go to a building with windows that teaches in their native language. (Unlike the public US school i teach in, where the kids arent allowed to speak spanish.)
