First you steal peoples' money in endless real estate Ponzi schemes. Then you act surprised that they don't have any money left to spend.
It is not the Chinese working class is who is getting soaked by those, it is foreign and domestic capitalists.

I’m definitely going to trust a .ml on a topic about the Chinese government
Le big tankie Bloomberg and evil stalinist CNBC
I would tell you to go back to your echo chamber but if you don't even trust sources from pro-capitalist, pro-west sources, just because a "tankie" sourced it then you're way too far gone for any form of discussion
Oh no! More .ml comments to shame me!
Let me be clear - I will not, ever, believe anything, anywhere on Lemmy, anyone tells me about the Chinese government. I don’t even think you’re necessarily in the wrong in this particular instance, it’s just not even worth considering it.
Such a principled stance. You should add that to your profile.
I remember you making a pretty impassioned case that discussion and the marketplace of ideas are not useful Davel. This is what that attitude looks like from the other side I guess.
