Additionally, China is booming, so there’s no need for scapegoats. And if they ever need someone to scapegoat? Well, they have the United States and capitalism.

I’ve made this point to an ultra “Marxist” last month https://lemmygrad.ml/post/6776170/5837212

Unlike the US economy, China’s economy is not in a time of crisis, and all polls recent polls—even Western polls—show that the Chinese people are rather content with the progression of their material conditions and with their government. Unlike in the US in particular and the highly & still-increasingly neoliberalized imperial core in general, there is no urgency to “divert” the proletariat into consumerism or reactionary politics. Divert them from what? From their steadily improving quality of life, their rising incomes and falling costs-of-living? From their 25,000 miles of high speed rail?

You’re simply projecting our dire situation onto China. But Americans going on RedNote right now are seeing that their situation is quite different from ours. To our bourgeoisie, it is a threat of a good example that they don’t want us to see.

I love how their response was functionally "nuh uh"

"Veneer of improved material conditions"is wild when there's clearly been an increase in real wages, purchasing power of the average Chinese citizen, technological and infrastructural advances implemented across Chinese soceity.

Things that have direct measurable increases and decreases which clearly illustrate an improvement in quality of life for the average person are only illusionary changes to material conditions.

Of course anything they say afterwards should be dismissed, they are not living in reality yet are staunchly declare that their ideological commitment is to materialism. There idea of improvement to material conditions is thusly incapable of being reflected by measurable or observable phenomenon, but instead a subject of theoretical interpretation where their own scrutiny is absolute.
