Ignore socialism for one moment

China developed from sub saharan African conditions only 40 years ago

They went from feudalism and a century of humiliation before the Chinese Communists came to power in 1949

Prior to 1949 the life expectancy was 35

20 years under Mao this had doubled to 70 years old

Since 1979 China has not been in a war and has gone from said sub saharan African conditions to a space faring civilisation landing on the far side of the moon and putting rovers on Mars

They did this without the hyper exploitation of colonies and wars of imperialism for conquests of booty

The Chinese people know what life was like a generation ago - their parenta tell them. The Communist Party of China enjoys a 89% approval rating of Chinese people precisely because they've lifted up the greatest number of humans out of poverty in such a short period of time

For that alone China should be praised daily by the world proletariat and the world socialist movement in the face of the most reactionary and murderous regime the world has ever seen (US and its puppets in Nato)

We can, of course, get onto comradely critiques of whether China is in socialism, whether they have succumbed to revisionism etc.

But we can only do that, as far as im concerned, when youve said your ten hail marys to China and thanked the CCP for it's unbelievable sprint of humanity it has done for the human race since 1949
