First of all, I want to say that it’s wonderful to see all of you here, and your critical support of the nation I proudly call home. But more and more recently, especially reading through Chinese internet too, there has been a sense of overconfidence and overglorification of China. It is honestly a little worrying at times for me, because as much as I love my homeland and is proud of what we are doing, I know full and well that we are still a long way to go. I see this sentiment of China being the glorious land far away as a bastion and utopia against Western Imperialism and while there’s a lot of truth behind that sentiment, and I definitely understand why one not living in China would choose to believe this (I live in the US now and I understand your pain, fellow US comrades). I just want to remind everyone to exercise dialectal materialism on this subject and try to look at China in a less idealised way. We cannot grow to be better without recognising our mistakes. Anyways that is my little message to you all. Have a nice day!

  • In many provinces of China there are a lot of farmers and small lands so that many farmers must come to cities to hunt for job. I mean…… China can’t be compared with the western, China is still a developing country. The Communist Party of China believes that the main contradiction in Chinese society is the contradiction between the people’s ever-growing needs for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard - Sun Yat-sen

      Nicely explained, I just realized everything I said was just describing that China is still a developing country lol… Wish I could’ve remembered that term
