🇨🇳 If Communism failed, why does Guangzhou, China look like this?

Because that is the result of capitalism you bellend, Guangzhou is in Guangdong where the first special economic zone was opened in 1979 by Deng Xiaoping which allowed western investment into China and capitalism took hold, China is now an Authoritarian run capitalist country.

“Communism” is capitalism with LEDs.

If Communism is successful wouldn't China let their citizens post on @X?

Because communism was destroyed in China after Mao's death. What you're showing is capitalism. People owning homes, business, cars is not communism, it's purely capitalism. If communism is so great, why didn't these building come up during Mao's time.

China's economy is "State Capitalism", which is very different than Communism. Based on the definition below, I think even 'State Capitalism' is inaccurate as CCP members on on the board, but the companies are not run by the state per say.

Dunno, maybe there's a different picture behind the LED light shows?

1 billion in rural communist China live under the world poverty level of a few bucks a day. What you see there is the cities that are build on capital markets.

Because in reality, it’s just capitalism controlled by a one-party dictatorship. If you have a communist economy, you get famine. If you have a capitalist economy, you get development.

This could be America too. But we need to put in the work.

Almost as nice as the bridges they build

Because LEDs are cheap both to buy and to run.

All your fancy high-speed trains and colorful LED-saturated buildings can't hide the fact that #China's corrupt government allows animal abuse & torture without breaking laws. I don't care what type of political system you favor, allowing animal torture is barbaric! #BoycottChina

Because the middle class eat food boiled in sewage water: Wealth extraction from the masses allows The State to do monumental construction projects. Slave labour has always accomplished that!

Nothing like this happens without capitalism.

I'm very sorry, but you've been deceived by CCP. You are restricted to access the real story of China. Japanese, Taiwanese, and people around the world know the truth about China. China is collapsing right now.

For the love of god, please stop calling socialism communism. CPC isn't calling Chinese system communism. Who the fuck are you to say any different? You aren't helping.

Because they ingested fascism, and adopted a controlled market, without giving up the totalitarianism. 21 st century communism is a blend of fascism and communism

Because America poured money and trade into China for some reason and allowed you to live off our money. Your country rusts beneath the gilded skylines which will sink your cities. And out of the rust will come diamonds read to bring China to democratic republicanism.

You can’t be serious…

If China is communist then why are there so many billionaires. Obviously NOT communist

Because China abandoned communism 47 years ago

Wow! Apparently you CAN polish a turd. You just need to bathe it in LEDs.

Because that is a capitalist economic system. You are welcome.

If Communism works, why is average American over 6 times wealthier than average Chinese?

Because what you are seeing is capitalism. Communism failed horrifically in China. Tens of millions starved before communist collectivism was abandoned and capitalism was allowed. Today China is an authoritarian capitalist state with the word "communist party" stamped on government edicts.

They use capitalism in their markets.

soon to be nuked and rubble

Because the Chinese government adopted capitalism as it's financial method.

It would be great to hear this directly from the Chinese. Except they can't post on X lmao

So there is thing called Capitalism that saved the Chinese. Though the Boomer class decided they all had to "compete" with each other by exploiting cheap labor and zero emissions standards over there... and so China looks great because the USA paid for it. Similar to Dubai.

Xi thanks. Glad to see that China has performed miracles. chris.

高楼大厦下面的贫民窟

China isn't fully communist.
