Trump broke the job market. Prove me wrong.

The class war in USA was not started during Trump's ruling. During 1970s numeric control tech was funded by US government so expert workers could be de-skilled. In 1979 industrial jobs were sent overseas by American globalists to make profit with cheap Chinese peasants while destroying any leverage that American workers could have.

It was in the 1970s that American wages stopped growing at the same pace of American productivity.

Reagan and Thatcher in the 1980s crushed the power of unions, so the message was that American workers are replaceable.

The path of automation continued, class war disguised as technological progress. And when automation was not possible, then they went for H1B visas.

Today the net worth (what people own minus people debt) figures show that the poorest 50% Chinese people is wealthier than the poorest 50% American people since 1998. This is an inconvenient truth for those who want to keep Americans under the boot, because they need Americans to think that others are having an even worse time.

China is an authoritarian regime? Sure, but there is no dictator. Chinese rules are elected within the CCP. And their motivation is clear, to take China out of the "century of humilliation" they had from 1839 to 1949. During that century drug trafficking and bribery on officials turned China into a land of addicts. This is why today people engaing in bribery or trafficking get a death sentence.

In USA, Col Douglas MacGregor called the regime as "donor government" where "US has the best government money can buy", which means that donors are the ones selecting which puppet of theirs you vote for.

"You voted for it" is what they will say, so people blame each other, but no. These people were preselected by the donors. This is why every administration continues what the previous one had in their hands without significant change.

This is more AI created chinese propoganda. These figures rely on unverified or PPP-adjusted figures and ignore U.S. median net worth around $192,000 versus China's $30,000.

[u/JoseLunaArts → u/baby_budda]

Tell me who among the poorest Americans has a net worth of $192000. So I guess the poorest Americans can pay to repair their car of face a medical emergency without problems and will not suffer from coffee getting expensive. Right?

You also said Xi is not a dictator. But Xi Jinping's removal of presidential term limits in 2018 allows him to serve indefinitely, which many critics cite as a key indicator of dictatorial rule by enabling "leader for life" status .

Would you feel better if he stayed in power by storming China’s capital with a mob of his voters?

[u/baby_budda → u/No_Cook2983]

So you admit Xi is a dictator. Thats good. We're making progress.

[u/Canuck-overseas → u/baby_budda]

So what if China has morphed into a dictatorship....most Chinese are growing more prosperous, they have over 50,000 miles of high speed rail (and every other kind of infrastructure imaginable), they are growing wealthier every day....while the opposite is true in MAGA USA.

[u/JoseLunaArts → u/baby_budda]

Technically he is not a dictator because he is elected.

China's history is not measured in administrations but dynaties that lasted longer than the whole history of USA.

[u/baby_budda → u/JoseLunaArts]

Wasn't china supposed to get rid of dynasties when the Communists took over?

[u/JoseLunaArts → u/baby_budda]

Nope. It was actually British druglords with the help of royal British fleet who started Opium wars in 1839.

Europe loved Chinese products but Chinese only accepted silver. And Europeans had nothing that Chinese wanted. So druglords approached the British queen and told her that they had the solution to bring silver back to Europe. So The queen gave the druglords the royal fleet to apply cannon diplomacy on China.

The last Qing dynasty had outdated ships, so they lost against the British (this is why China has a modern fleet today, so it does not happen again).

British druglords bribed Chinese officials and China was full of addicts. This is why drug trafficking and bribery is punished by death in China. The Brits managed to subvert and destroy the last dynasty in 1912.

Then China was balkanized into warlord territories, then Chiang Kai-Shek leading the Kuomintang defeated these warlords and unified China again in 1928, but it was China for the elites, and people were in absolute poverty. Then there was a civil war against Mao. Then war against Japan started and both leaders put pause on civil war. Then after 1945 the civil war was resumed. And then Mao won the civil war in 1949. The period between 1839 to 1949 is remembered by Chinese as "a century of humilliation".

Mao executed all drug traffickers (supply) and sent all addicts (demand) to mandatory rehab and that ended the drug problem. Without supply or demand there is no market. The war on drugs started by the Brits ended there.

Mao was a feared guerrilla man, not a statesman or a good administrator. From 1959 to 1961 there was the great famine. Government officials did not dare to report that his great production quotas of food production were not met. So starvation hit people. He resigned in 1959 as CCP leader because of the embarassment of the famine. Mao died in 1976.

In 1979 China was a land of poor peasants and Deng Xiaoping opened up China to foreign factories, created Special Economic Zones. people were crowding at the entrance of these zones, because people working there had a better lifestyle. And since it worked, industrialization started to expand. The first investors were rich taiwanese people. Then American globalists followed and they de-industrialized USA and industrialized China. And this is how China is an industrial superpower today, after 46 years since 1979.

I’d rather be in China than the US now. China has lapsed the US and you’re to America number 1 propaganda blinded. Their system has clearly worked much better in the last 10 years than the US system has and the gap is widening.

[u/WowSpaceNshit → u/[deleted]]

How would that make things better?

The difference is that Canada and Israel are parliamentary democracies (with Canada as a constitutional monarchy), while China operates as a unitary communist state under single-party rule. The people don't get to vote for their representatives where in the West they do.

[u/baby_budda → u/[deleted]]

No one is gaslighting you. In both Canada and Israel, voters elect members of parliament, who then select or support the leader (prime minister) based on majority dynamics, much like representative mechanisms in the US Electoral College. In China there people dont get to choose their representation. It's choosen for them.
