    I don’t know what this ccp is, but I definitely do not think that CPC officials are diddling kids. It’s incredible how westerners have infinite capacity to project what goes on in their own rotten societies on everyone else.

      Why do people keep talking about “cost per click” that’s what comes up when I search the CPC acronym…

      4 different search engines not a single item related to China.

      And if China did change from CCP to CPC. My first question would be why? Maybe trying to distance themselves from all the evil shit they did as CCP?

        It’s always been The Communist Party of China (CPC), the whole ccp thing was started by the US to intentionally disrespect what the party actually calls itself. Similarly to the way the west calls DPRK North Korea. And wow let’s just look at all the evil shit they did. Absolutely horrific stuff on display here.

        90% of families in the country own their home giving China one of the highest home ownership rates in the world. What’s more is that 80% of these homes are owned outright, without mortgages or any other leans. https://www.forbes.com/sites/wadeshepard/2016/03/30/how-people-in-china-afford-their-outrageously-expensive-homes

        Social mobility in China being far better than in the US https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/11/18/world/asia/china-social-mobility.html

        The typical Chinese adult is now richer than the typical European adult https://www.businessinsider.com/typical-chinese-adult-now-richer-than-europeans-wealth-report-finds-2022-9

        The real (inflation-adjusted) incomes of the poorest half of the Chinese population increased by more than four hundred percent from 1978 to 2015, while real incomes of the poorest half of the US population actually declined during the same time period. https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w23119/w23119.pdf

        From 1978 to 2000, the number of people in China living on under $1/day fell by 300 million, reversing a global trend of rising poverty that had lasted half a century (i.e. if China were excluded, the world’s total poverty population would have risen) https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/China’s-Economic-Growth-and-Poverty-Reduction-Angang-Linlin/c883fc7496aa1b920b05dc2546b880f54b9c77a4

        From 2010 to 2019 (the most recent period for which uninterrupted data is available), the income of the poorest 20% in China increased even as a share of total income. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.DST.FRST.20?end=2019&amp%3Blocations=CN&amp%3Bstart=2008

        or maybe you were referring to these horrible acts against the fossil fuel industry?

        China’s carbon emissions have been in a structural decline since 2023 https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/nov/13/chinas-carbon-emissions-set-for-structural-decline-from-next-year

      It’s a big organisation. What makes you think no one in there is rotten?

        I didn’t say nobody there is rotten. But what I do know is that people have been ejected from CPC and even jailed for far less, something that doesn’t happen in the west. Having actual accountability is the difference.

            Yeah, I definitely don’t think it’s a systemic problem in CPC given that there is plenty of evidence that CPC cleans house.

          you’re drawing a very long bow there. I lived in the PRC for a long time and they had their fair share of issues like this to deal with; that said, white collar crime and sex crimes in general go largely unpunished in patriarchal cultures, so no surprise in either case.

            It is now well documented that the west is ruled by pedos who are completely and utterly unaccountable. Meanwhile, the same cannot be said for CPC. Sure, there is corruption and crime in China, just like in every human society. But we see people actually being held accountable when crimes are discovered. That’s the fucking difference.

                sure bud, people in China are regularly sentenced for corruption which never happens in the west. But some internet trolls says there’s absolutely no difference between the two systems so it must be true.

                  again, drawing a long bow there. I said white collar crime and sex crimes go largely unpunished in patriarchal cultures; i stand by that, i feel it would be naive to think otherwise.

                    You made an assertion that’s directly at odds with observed facts, and now you’re doubling down on it based on feels. 🤣
