You’ve got a video clip and a worldview that fits on a bumper sticker, congrats.
The word you’re looking for is “proof.” I have proof that China exploits it’s workers, becuase China is capitalist in all ways that matter.
I like how you totally ignored the rest of the comment, probably because you don’t have a leg to stand on.
You don’t actually care about Chinese workers; you just need us to be miserable props in your moral drama so you can feel superior
I care about them enough to not delude myself into thinking a government that doesn’t give a shit about them is somehow better because it’s “socialist” on paper.
Best of luck to you, I hope you overcome your orientalism.
As an Asian man (my father is Fillipino,) I forgive you your hipster racisim, because I know it’s borne out of ignorance. Secondly, it’s not “oritentalism” to tell the truth about an oppresive government.
You told me to do something, I said no.
That’s one example of libertarianism for ya.
Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
Here’s the part that matters: People in China get paid less to manfucature things which are sold in other countries.
Hence, “China is capitalist in all ways that matter.”
Yeah, I mixed up the location of the foxconn factory fair catch. Doesn’t change the core point though.
I mean, it doesn’t change my point, that being corporations exploit workers in China because China is capitalist in all ways that matter.
It changes the lie you tried to tell me, that it was “Capitialst occupied” Tiawan, and that the glorious CCP would never allow such atrocity, which is clearly not true.That’s lower than the US (15.6), Canada (9.4), Australia (13.1), UK (9.5), Japan (14.7), South Korea (20.6) and much of mainland Europe.
Those other countries also don’t have workers throwing themselves off of buildings because their jobs crush their will to live, but I guess that’s besides the point.
Yes, working conditions were harsh during the early offshoring boom, that was the brutal calculus of catching up.
“Were harsh.” Lol ok. Hey look at this video of these Chinese workers sitting inside of a hydraulic press, it totally doesn’t show harsh working conditions.
On the system itself: China is in the socialist transitional period blah blah blah
Hence, “China is capitalist in all ways that matter.”
Harvard’s Ash Center has tracked Chinese public opinion since 2003 and consistently finds approval of the central government above 90%.
If you really believe this then I have a bridge, two furry trout farms, and a wooden nickle factory to sell you.
You can critique labor issues without falling back on orientalist tropes that flatten 1.4 billion people into a caricature.
Me stating the fact that the government of China allows corporations to exploit it’s population is not an “orientalist trope.”
You could also stop defending a country of oligarchs which doesn’t care about human rights and clearly exploits it’s population for the benefit of global corporations,
None of what you said challenges the fact that China is capitalist in all ways that matter. I mean, are you trying to claim the workers there aren’t being exploited by corporations?
How long is this “socialist transitionary period” supposed to take? Because it’s been like 50 years so far, and it doesn’t look like it’s ending anytime soon.P.S. Please tell me how much Apple pays the workers in China to manufacture Iphones. Something tells me it’s less than they would be paid in America.
The nets were at foxconn in capitalist occupied Taiwan.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxconn_suicides
The Foxconn suicides were a spate of suicides linked to low pay and brutal working conditions at the Foxconn City industrial park in Shenzhen, China, that occurred alongside several additional suicides at various other Foxconn-owned locations and facilities in mainland China.
Care to modify your previous misinformation?
Please answer me, where do they manufacture Iphones?
I mean, Iphones are a commercial product which is manufactured and sold by a corporation, are they not? Which country is that manufacturing done in exactly, and how much does the corporation pay those workers?
China is a country where they have to put nets on the roofs of factories to prevent people from throwing themselves over the side because they work 14 hours a day for a slave wage making garbage that is sold in our 99 cent stores. Sounds like capitalism to me.
Where do they make Iphones again?
I want you to really try to make a singular definition of Authoritarianism and Libertarianism that applies to all examples you would classify as authoritarian or libertarian.
No.
China is capitalist in all ways that matter.
But China is authoritarian.
Please. Mine are way worse than his.
No one understands my work.

18·1 month agoWait I’m confused, are they trying to ban the Girl Scouts?
Or is this like, the organization formerly known as “Boy Scouts” is just “Scouts” now, (like it’s Co-ed scouts) and the chuds are pissed at that because boys are now playing with girls?
Jesus, these fuckwits get pissy about the stupidest fucking shit.
