I guess the real answer is government subsidized college.

Free college.

An investment in the future through rigorous and accessible education.

They don't market them well, though.

Western democracy has its issues. Namely capitalism.

Oh, wait, China has that problem too.

Western democracy also has issues with authoritarians constantly trying to weasel their way into power.

OH WAIT CHINA ALREADY HAS THAT

The CPC is Communist in name only, and the Party controls the dissemination of all information and has encouraged a nationalist stance.

I'm open to communism, but China isn't the model we need to emulate.

Right? This law is purely an attempt to intimidate. Because of teachers are fired or arrested for striking, then the state has only made the strike permanent.

It would wreck the entire economy.

Forget challenging it in court. Call their bluff. Strike.

I strongly believed for years that the benefit of a non-state-affiliated press was that it was free of state control, thus less likely to become propaganda outlets.

Don't worry, I realized the flaw in that logic over ten years ago.

Money. Money was the flaw.

Fuck capitalism.

I call BS. I feel it's more popular than ever to dunk on the US. Like, there's still a sect of 'MURICAN PATURYOTS that get big mad, but most of us are well aware of reality.
