Not too many years ago, America was the same. we had many "sweat shops that immigrants worked in. Even the auto makers paid little until one man revolutionized the wage scale. while not perfect it did help raise many to the middle class. He also realized the problem of discrimination and blacks unable to live or buy a home. so he built the City of Inkster. built affordable homes that were never the same standard as whites but could rent or buy and live without fear of discrimination. The problem with China is they have too many available people competing for the same job. because what they make must be purchased by other countries, any path for improvement is lost. They have no internal competition. While their middle class has expanded greatly, their products still have the stigma of made in China. It may be cheap but won't last. Even as much of what we use each day comes from China. They will start to run out of cheap labor just as we did. their problem is they don't have the power to limit government.--------- I, Grampa
The only people who think China is a socialist country are sinophiles or victims of "hopium exposure" believing multipolarism is humanity's savior. 😁
That being said, the Rockefeller family has been involved in social engineering China since the late 19th Century. They even introduced toxic allopathic medicine. That might explain why the Wuhan lab in the 21st Century is being used as a Western biological warfare lab. And the City of Wuhan has been known to be the capitol of Fentanyl production.
Today, trillion dollar asset management firms are heavily invested in China. Not to mention, that the
"Tesla Giga Shanghai factory is the world's largest all-electric car manufacturing plant, which in 2023 produced close to 950,000 Model 3 and Model Y cars."
What's interesting is that mainstream media news creates a frenzy about TikTok snatching Western data, however, half of the board of directors are not from China but are from the West.
By the way, did I mention that those workers dressed in white hazmat suits enforcing the lockdowns were migrant workers. With hundreds of millions of migrant workers looking for employment it's always a chore to keep them busy at a minimal wage.
Oh, and how about factory workers who live in dorms resembling minimum security prisons. During the lockdowns the workers were bursting through the fences determined to go home. They're probably doing the production jobs that were done 40 years ago by union workers.
The bottomline is that there's numerous billionaires within the Chinese Communist Party. XI's daughter received her degree from Harvard. Hardly an educational institution for the average proletariat.
To put it simply, most of the stuff you hear on mainstream media news about foreign policy is crap pulled out of the ass of security state operatives who have a vested interest in keeping the war machine well-oiled and ready for the next bunch of collateral damage victims.
Hi Michael I’m a huge fan of your work, I have been reading mostly by email for years and I’ve cited your work when writing to the Irish government to hold them to account during the unlawful lockdowns and propaganda-induced vaccine uptake which have seen excess deaths come to a point of almost 20% annually now in Ireland.
A revolution is coming to Ireland this year, the government will fall, will be arrested, imprisoned and the guilty perpetrators of democide will be executed. Check out the work our group has done @ www.irishpeoplesassociation.net.
Dear James, Greetings, with thanks, just to let you know, I am an Irish citizen, we have the same name, Sullivan on my mother's side, my parents were living in Baily, Howth, near the light house, best wishes, M.
Michael isint that a coincidence? Well I have had a calling to take up the mantle from where Donal Cam O’Sullivan left off when he was the general of the Munster forces at the battle of kinsale. The counter coup from March 2020 is coming, they won’t see it, it will be swift and ultimately deadly for those criminals who believe their unified lies will protect them. The mass plantation of Ireland has swayed middle Ireland against them and now they will only have support from their bought and paid for minions, which ultimately are just yes men.
The next time you are in Ireland I would love to buy you a coffee. Your work is incredible my clan friend.
Fascinating hypocracy that the West keeps admonishing chinas labor practices to demonize them and this faned concern for its people (typical western vertue signaling) and at the same time working relentlessly to destroy them (can't control them must destroy them American foreign police agenda) this causing the people to suffer further.
Seems a common behavior of the West to use its weakest poorest indigenous people as the scapegoats for its hedgomony interests.
Unfair critique. Right now China has the biggest middle class on the planet of 350 million people. They are using the market economy to go to communism, which is the last stage of socialism by 2050. Forty years ago they were the most poor nation on the planet, now they are the richest, according to GDP/PPP. Confuciansim and Marxism gives them a sense of community and work ethics.
Dear Maria, thank you for your comment, the historical dimension is important, pre-1949, this is outlined in my book which you can download. There is a Middle Class but official figures are much lower than what you quote, confucianism is an ideology of social subordination and hierarchy, with best wishes, Michel
If it's America doing "free market capitalism (the lie, when it's fully predatory, but some like that it's hidden behind a mythology ) it's said to be good,,
If it's those beedy eyed hun doing it every one is existentaly afraid of, so it's "bad".
That's the extent of everyones pedestrian vacilating arguments pretending to be elucidated. The world is being run and controlled by opulent psycopaths from the depths of the financial dynasty elites board rooms think tanks and G summets. And all the while the western establishment media empire conducting relentless mind control experiments on the people while curating all main stream information to support the status quo who seeks only to exploit the common man as a resource. Humans are a cancer on the whole.and the host organism is dying.
Agreed! America hasn't had control by competition in a free market since 1898, when 2 people owned about 98% of railroads. It's a fascist state too, i.e. one which is controlled by big corporations.
(Although I'd qualify your last sentence somewhat).
" came to the realization that what was being reinstated in terms of the special economic zones, the open door policy had been influenced by the history of the treaty ports, which granted extraterritorial rights to Britain, France, Germany, the US, Russia and Japan."
Excuse my ignorence, does 👆 mean that China does not belong to Chinese but in fact belongs to Britain, France, Germany, the US, Russia and Japan?
One of the core philosophy of Marxism is Historical Materialism. China cannot skip the capitalist stage and jump into Communist society. Chinese capitalism is under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. China dose not accumulate capital through imperialist wars, colonialist occupations, slave trade and opium trade. https://xguoforwaterloo.medium.com/marxism-with-chinese-characters-1d44b5d1bf1f
Oh yes, komrade, the sweet buy-and-bye dictates we must sell ourselves into wage slavery on the free market for only god knows how long before we get to the promised land. That bit of "Marxism Is Historical Materialism" is pure religious bullshit, as stupid as it is doctrinaire, as if the proles can't figure out how to do things better in the meantime with what (few) years we have in this life before the ever-receding kommunist future awaiting those who have no memory of how long defense of the indefensible has been going on, going down. The only thing being skipped here is common sense and sentience in favor of Philosophy, founded upon cushioned armchairs far from the daily struggles and sufferings of mere common people. You might do well to remember Marx's own words: 'I am not a Marxist.'
Doesn't matter what you call it -- communism or capitalism. -isms and -ists are just ways to divide people. The final destination for capitalism and communism is the GULAG. Just as we see in this factory.
I respectfully disagree. -isms are the result of narratives from those with political agendas. Society doesn't need -isms to organize itself, but those who wish to direct society along a certain path definitely do need to define their terms. A society without -isms would be much less strident and argumentative. My opinion, obviously.
In the US at least, I see society as a nation or culture organized around the ideas of tolerance for other points of view, cooperation, and a fundamental respect for others. These qualities were first politically enshrined in the Treat of Westphalia that outlined territorial integrity and respect for national borders and cultures. These qualities are fundamental to every human being and are enshrined in the Bill of Rights, which are described as inalienable, and which have nothing to do with -isms or -ists, which always divide people into opposing camps. In my opinion -isms and -ists are just belief systems that pit one faction against the other. They are never inevitable, but again that is just my opinion. Sadly, in the US today, we are seeing a breakdown of these fundamental human qualities that lead to a cooperative society, led by the -ists who seem to want to hold to their rigid opinions and justify their actions based on -isms, but I do not despair quite yet.
In the sixties my wages were $3.20 per Hr. after taxes I took home a little over $60.00 a week. I paid room and board and a car payment, car insurance and was wasteful with my money. The cost of gas was low as was food and clothing. My dollar, purchased more then than in ten years time. The dollar has been subject to inflation. a misnomer because it buys less. yet we are taxed more each year as government wastes what it spends.----------- I, Grampa

I think it is more accurate to call it (and the US since 1900) a fascist dictatorship. A capitalist economy operates with a free market and competition. A fascist state operates with large corporations in control.

Define "middle class". it sounds as if you are including a large proportion of poor people.
Your next sentence makes sense if you believe Marxist ideas about societies, but who with any insight does?
I don't think even Marx did: he was just writing the rhetoric and "reasoning" the puppet masters who funded him asked for.
It is not capitalist as there is no free market. It's fascist as it is controlled by large corporations.
Yes, with the help of American investment over the last 40 years they have been built up to become the next hegemon.
I agree with your last sentence.
If it's America doing "free market capitalism (the lie, when it's fully predatory, but some like that it's hidden behind a mythology ) it's said to be good,,
If it's those beedy eyed hun doing it every one is existentaly afraid of, so it's "bad".

So why this (useless) propaganda then? They are all on the same side? Or maybe the cookie crumbles?
It is not a “full-fledged” capitalist society. Wow. There a lot of words here, not much sense reading far when the initial claim is wrong...

FYI... Chinese People are HAN.
The CCP is 100 % Manchu.
The Manchu are Kazhaars that have more in common with Ashkenazi Jews than with Chinese Han.
The Manchu are Chinese Jews.
This is also the reason why the CCP uses Communism as a weapon.
Communism was invented by the Rothschilds for the conquest of Russia and China.
Mao Tse Tung was a Manchu an Rothschild Spy.
Real questions are always appreciated.
