      The joke is that people say that some of us defend China because we are paid by the CPC. However, we defend China because we are communists and China is a socialist country that is helping the global south. We defend the international proletariat because we are communists not because we are paid.

        If I could get paid every time I said something good about the CCP, I would be rich by now. However, on the Chinese internet, there are people who offer 3 RMB per post to delete comments that praise the CCP. 🤣

            I’m sorry that I didn’t realize the difference between CPC and CCP at first. Now I understand that CPC is the official term used by China, while CCP is more commonly used in Western countries. Since my English proficiency is limited to reading, I used ChatGPT to help with the translation, which caused some errors. In China, the CPC has a more down-to-earth nickname among the people: “土共” (Tugong), which translates to “Dirt Communists” or “Local Communists.” This nickname is widely used because of the CPC’s extensive and profound grassroots foundation, and its pragmatic, farmer-like image.

            No, i know more but china perfects the capitalism. Everybody does everything to make themself as rich as possible by any means.

            America doesn’t have large factories in which workers work for a few dollars (and by that i mean something like 100 dollars) per month and have to work long shifts.

            America doesn’t have cheap and life threatening materials either.

        I think the joke is that you seem to actually think that they are communist. Nothing wrong with being communist yourself, but their government is communist in name alone.

        I’m sorry, but you fell for lies and propaganda. China is an authoritarian state capitalism that uses its its money for buying influence in the global south with colonialistic intent. No difference to western nations, just way more authoritarian.

          Even if that’s true, isn’t it better for countries in the global South to have multiple options instead of being forced to accept whatever conditions are imposed on them by the IMF?
