Of course! Dictatorship won’t through terror and torture, that always is a cause to celebrate because the group that lost might be your personal pet peeve.
You’re an idiot, tankie

Wait… what?
Because China and Hong Kong are so staunchly anti-capitalism? 😂
Super weird take.

If you had more than a single iota of geopolitical knowledge you would understand how fucking dumb that statement is.

Huh. What? I am definitely not coming to the defense of capitalism. Just trying to help you understand that it’s noy a relevant factor here.
Your original comment is confused at best. China is communist in many ways but absolutely has a thriving capitalist based economy. The idea that the CCP would be threatened by a “capitalist party” is incoherent and silly.
You’re making some super huge leaps and I’m not sure why.

Why do you think China has a capitalist economy? Because it is thriving? It is indeed! But this is unrelated to capitalism. Capitalism is not economy good and international market access, socialism share potato and live happily.
Capitalism is the control of means of production by a few individuals and exploitation of the workers enabled by this private possession. In China, the small and medium companies are allowed to be private but the bigger companies or the ones in critical fields are nationalized. Something like 80% of investment firms are public as well

I never said they were threatened. If anyone is making huge leaps, it would be you. You’re making big assumptions based on two sentences. An American media company publishes an article about a dying liberal party in China as if that’s a bad thing. It’s only capitalistic when it’s convenient for you libturds. Otherwise, it’s a “scary state run Chinese company.” I never said capitalism doesn’t exist in the country. You have a funny way of “helping.”

Yeah, the American media just telling it how it is. That’s what they do.
