The conditions and the treatment of workers is inhumane. You would have to be very isolated or ignorant to not be aware.
The Family of Xi Jinping (General Secretary): Independent journalistic investigations and unclassified intelligence reports document that Xi’s immediate family (siblings, nieces, and nephews) amassed business investments, real estate, and financial holdings valued at over $1 billion. While Xi reportedly urged relatives to divest from some holdings upon taking power in 2012, intelligence audits confirm that his family continues to hold millions in indirect investments
The Family of Wen Jiabao (Former Premier): A landmark forensic investigation revealed that the former Premier’s mother, wife, son, and siblings controlled corporate assets and hidden investment vehicles worth at least $2.7 billion.
The Broader Politburo Elite: Systemic wealth tracking indicates that high-ranking party families routinely leverage political clout to secure lucrative stakes in state-dominated sectors, including real estate, heavy infrastructure, finance, and telecommunications
The intersection of wealth and political influence is highly visible in China’s two legislative and advisory bodies: the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC)
The annual meetings of these bodies are regularly dubbed the “world’s wealthiest parliament”. Data compiled by the Hurun Research Institute shows that dozens of China’s absolute wealthiest billionaires serve concurrently as delegates or political advisers within these state institutions, providing them direct input on economic policy. Research indicates that acquiring an NPC or CPPCC seat serves as a massive accelerator for private sector tycoons looking to protect and boost their initial wealth accumulation.
Top officials technically hold nothing in their own names. Instead, wealth is channeled through a complex system of “white gloves”—trusted business proxies, corporate lawyers, and extended family members who manage multi-million dollar corporate shares and offshore shells
Elites leverage political connections to obtain below-market loans from state banks, exclusive permits for state-backed strategic industries, and lucrative municipal land-use rights.
Data shows that a household with at least one CCP member is, on average, 21% to 24% wealthier than a non-party household, heavily driven by early access to privatized prime real estate.
Are you sure it is the working class who controls the state? Maybe in China the working class are millionaires and billionaires?
I think we’re both without links, aren’t we. Now from my understanding we were speaking about China and not the US or anyone else. You are correct though that getting accurate information about what is happening in China is not easy.
Now I can post links but then you will tell me any information I bring is corrupt or propaganda so we can skip the effort I would put in that will be wasted anyways.
