In other words... it's capitalism with Chinese characteristics.

I guess you didn't even bothered to check my link and where it leads to. Yes it leads to your favorite Wikipedia site: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism_with_Chinese_characteristics

Oh, you don't have to guess.. I'll tell you straight up that I won't bother retreading well-known propaganda created by tankies.

I'm already perfectly familiar with it - I just called it something a bit more honest... as in capitalism with Chinese characteristics.

well known tankie propaganda site, wikipedia.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you trying to say wikipedia invents China's propaganda?

Quite the extraordinary claim... but I've seen tankies make worse.

No thanks, tankie... I still don't want to interact with your "fellow travellers" over on stormfront.
