You know during the flood happen last week, a few Chinese local officials lost their lives during the rescue mission. There’s a reason why the CPC got such a high rating while the current american admin at rock bottom
Yeah CPC isn’t the same kind of animal as western parties. They’re actually on the ground doing community work.
Yep, even Xi Jinping during his early have to serve in the village, town, city and prefecture. It’s not easy and it’s high stress job, you have to get the result, making policy that’s good for the place that you’re serving and you have to show result to convince your peer to vote for you to get promoted. Especially now when China economy is shifting from low quality growth like real estate to high quality like EV, quantum computing AI and green energy.

With an extra dash of colonial seasoning.
There’s a massive wildfire happening in the North West Territories right now to the point where Yellowknife is completely surrounded and all I’ve heard are crickets.
China saved people from flooding, but at what cost.
So I’ve noticed the propaganda about China has shifted over the past ten years. It used to be “China is a hyper-capitalist hellhole where everyone works for 2 cents an hour and you need a gas mask to breathe.” Now it’s “Yeah, China is fixing their problems, they’re building ultramodern infrastructure and unrolling impressive social programs, BUT IT ALL COMES AT A COST.”
I recently tried looking up what the MSM says about the homeless population in China and how they try to help their situations, basically every site I checked was like “yea sorry to say but they’re doing well. We disagree with what they’re doing, but yea😔their centers for feeding and clothing the homeless and trying to work with them to get them housing and occupation/education opportunities are successful, sigh😞” it’s crazy to read. Like the Economist was the only one being like “uh China bad, they HAVE homeless people in their country.”
At the cost of a disproportionate amount of casualties among Party members. It is the duty of every CPC member to render aid in times of emergency, even at risk to their own lives.
Recently, a deputy mayor in Shulan City, a Political Commissar of the PLA, and a senior Party Member engineer were swept away by flood waters while directing evacuations and flood fighting from the front.
I wish our government even pretended to give half as much of a shit as china’s
Indeed, my favorite part is when people argue how Chinese government does all these things to ensure that public is happy so that it can maintain political stability for itself, and I’m like yeah that’s how things should work. The government should be primarily interested in ensuring that the public supports it, this isn’t some gotcha.
It shows how neoliberalism has rotted people’s brains. The government making things better is bad actually as it is an attempt to gain favour. Anything other than managed decline is unthinkable.
Unless it is bending over backwards to subsidise privately owned business, then it is fine and good to pander actually. Gotta make sure that the same handful of people keep getting obscenely richer.
