I’m specifically mentioning Tesla because China allowed them to silence critics to protect their business interests. Yes, I know that it was done so that Chinese companies could learn from them and later surpass them in making EVs. I wouldn’t call BYD and the like great cars, but neither is Tesla and Tesla still has the gall to charge an arm and a leg for a motorized smart refrigerator.

Some dairy industry execs were imprisoned and/or executed to save face so that’s nice, but parents were also detained for trying to bring attention to the matter in the big formula scandal. Some said that doctors told them to keep quiet.

Business interests go above human rights in China and if a rich person is imprisoned or executed, it’s so the “communists” could save face after a scandal. Normally they’re completely fine with billionaires existing for some reason.

Smells very “corporations are people too” to me. Like the US, but with better infrastructure because Americans can’t even get that right.

China in the 21st century is getting farther and farther from communism. Hell, they protected TESLA from concerned citizens. Not just a corporation, but a foreign corporation.

Yes, and all are equal, but some more equal. Particularly, anyone that was part of the administration of the soviet union was more equal than anyone not close to the administration.

Administration needs to be humanless.
