Chinese Courts Rule Companies Cannot Fire Workers Simply to Replace Them With AI - Judges classify AI adoption as a controllable business strategy rather than an unavoidable disruption, shielding employees from automation-driven layoffs
I think its that people see all the shitty things their own country does and realize that its not really and better. Especially if your an American and your tax dollars are used to fund a genocide for Israel and concentration camps in the US. Neither country has any morale high ground.
It started as pure propaganda but got adopted by all of the basement dwellers living of social support in the west who turned China’s propaganda into a lifestyle (aka tankies)
Maybe it’s the fact that every Chinese citizen is registered in the province of their birth, and can only draw social services in the province of their birth. All social services are paid for at the province level, and rich provinces do not subsidize poor provinces.
Citizens are legally barred from changing this registration except in cases of extreme wealth. The thing is, there are lots of jobs in the rich provinces and no jobs in the poor ones, so you have a permanent legal underclass who is exploited to make the lives of about 15% of the population seem pretty good.
That 15% is the ones who get free healthcare, unemployment, and generally all of the workers rights. The rest get shit all.
Yeah, there do exist not only class struggle but also regional supremacism and what appears to be localized form of xenophobia, that is, some groups of Chinese detest others, including economic migrants from other parts of the country.
The problem with China is all of the fundamental lies that conflict each other. It’s communist but also the most capitalist, it’s free and citizen focused but also you have to sacrifice all of your rights and no complaining, it’s unified but also you can’t leave your province.
It’s a generic authoritarian playbook that somehow tricked a bunch of people with red flags and prettu uniforms as if it’s something more than that.
For me the litmus test is always freedom of information. No country is “for the people” while keeping people purposefully in the dark. Either it’s a lie or extreme incompetence - neither should be taken as anything other but that.
The “Uyghur camps” are bullshit, the only countries claiming otherwise have spent the past 50+ years indiscriminately imprisoning and bombing innocent muslims around the world, zero credibility
Gee I wonder why people criticize China for treating workers like crap. Is it the sweatshops or the Uyghur camps? It‘s a mystery.
There is a big push for pro China propaganda I keep noticing.
Be smart people, it hasn’t changed from the china you knew five years ago. Same dude still running it.
China is the same, but the western world is in a race to the bottom so at least we can wave to them as we pass them on the way down.

Probably not the case for the original creator of the post, who seems to live in China.
MBFC for Caixin Global:
Lol MBFC, the website that calls CNN a left leaning source. Might as well ask rats what they think of cats.
Yeah, imagine how horrible it must be for even MBFC to call a site center right.
You didn’t know anything about China five years ago either
”Are you having a very Chinese time in your life?”
Winnie the Pooh?
You should also be careful not to automatically go the complete opposite direction just because said propaganda exists.
I imagine the truth is somewhere in the middle.

This is projection

But… this imperialism is red! That means they’re good guys, right?
Boy, you thought blocking ml and hexbear is enough to get away from this bullshit. Sigh…
