This is what happens when you declare game, set, match when the clock is still running.
To be somewhat fair, nobody in the early 2000s other than certain circles would’ve thought China was staging the biggest fake-out in history
Except they weren’t. What makes this all really funny is that China literally publishes 5 year plans, and the west keeps acting like China is inscrutable.
I mean true but also I thought they literally said that’s what they were going to do. Like I swear we are constantly caught off guard by them going to do exactly what they say they’re going to do
Look the PRC has been nothing but honest and opens with its plans and dealings, the west just cannot fathom a government not lieing
Okay, but have you considered that this time is the time they were actually lying and they are now neolibs dressed up in a red banner. Insert some racist stereotypes to call them untrustworthy and remember that neoliberalism is the greatest form of governance ever (quote Churchill, QUOTE CHURCHILL) and obviously they recognized their
sinsthat capitalism and liberal democracy are the best thing since sliced bread!

Whew, I was almost worried I’d look bad by comparing my personal strain of idealistic socialism (it’s basically the Nordic model but better) to China. But thankfully they fail my purity test, which means I don’t have to actually learn about any of their accomplishments or achievements and can just call them bad guys. I hate the US too though, but I’m glad they tell me the truth when it comes to China, very nice of them.
