Look, China IS an authoritarian and oligarchic country. The difference between them and the USA is that the oligarchs in China is a bit more benevolent towards their people.
Look, China IS an authoritarian and oligarchic country.
Authoritarian is a largely meaningless pejorative to simply signal “enemy of the EuroAmerikan empire”.
But more importantly do you actually know what oligarchy means?
The Chinese government is made up of roughly 3 million deputies with the vast majority being directly elected at the town/city and county level (~2.5 million). The CPC has over 100 million members that’s over 1 in 14 people. The NPC has ~3000 members made up of workers from every strata of the working class where all 55 ethnic minority groups are guaranteed at least 1 representative with many having more. If China is an oligarchy then so too is every nation on earth and if that were true what point is there in specifically using it to label certain countries other than as short of hand for not aligned with the imperial core much like “authoritarian”.
Reading through your comments in this thread and a quick look at your profile I’m left with a few questions I hope you can help me answer:
Have you ever studied political economy in any meaningful way, as in read/studied any theory or the like? A brief overview/list would be appreciated.
Have you actually investigated China at all or simply osmosised what the imperial core has been repeating without looking any deeper?
You say the government is only benevolent to some people the implication of course being some Chinese people are being abused/exploited could you tell me which group(s) of us you believe that is?
You appear to be against socialist revolution that wields the state against class enemies of the working class such as the reactionaries and bourgeoisie could you explain your idea of what is to be done?
Arguing online in meme communities on what appears to be a company account with your full name and past employment linked in your bio is an interesting choice, does your employer know or are you the employer?

You definitely knows what oligarchy means…
All countries are authoritarian by definition
Authoritarian doesn’t just mean that there is authority.
Yeah they also have to be a rival of the US and someone we can be racist at
But what else would it mean? There’s three different definitions I know of:
A: it’s not a real word
B: it’s when authority
C: it’s when not ruled by whitey
…a bit more benevolent to some of their people.
Vague posting because if you tried to make an actual point you’d get debunked immediately.
Nothing vague about the plain fact that all governments abuse powers and commit violence.
