re: How to talk about China?

@aristeon

#China and #Chinese people(s) — incl. the colonized peoples — have been harnessed by the parasitic #NeverElected #CCP #dictatorship to serve its paramount need to *stay in power*. That includes systematic eradication of their crimes from historical records and public debate while flooding the 'market' with synthetic propaganda.

Is the latter welcome? For several decades now the crimes against humanity part has been whitewashed with euphemisms as the CCP was elevated to the status of *normalized* business partner. All the while "biding time and hiding strength"; it's objective of defeating democracy and liberalism remaining at the heart of its planning.

After the legitimacy of *actual* communism failed, the CCP seamlessly morphed into a 19th century-inspired national-socialist dictatorship. It is no coincidence that the CCP adopted #legalism from #nazi #thirdreich as its new foundation; i.e. the excuse for its very dictatorship.

When talking about this new post-1989 CCP and its #HanSupremacist empire (in a sense a return to China's imperial roots), the key histocal comparisons should be made to #soviet #russian and the wannabe #nazigermany #imperialjapan empires, the former now under #putin fully re-animated and in "no limits" cahoots with the CCP...

So, "does mainstream discourse focus too much on the (expansionist Chinese dictatorship's) political system"?

Do we need more fluffy pandas, #tiktok flippancy, subsized exports and dancing natives from its colonies? The developing world is essentially a virgin territory for CCP's propaganda while even in the industrialized #democracies the historical understanding of military-expansionist #imperialism is evaporating.
