Pretty hilarious to see a guy from a capitalist shithole that's tearing itself apart acting all smug. Never gets old.

As hilarious as seeing a guy from a capitalist country fantasising over a fake communist country

I love how being able to criticize a country you live in is hilarious for you. Says a lot about you really. Doubly hilarious that you think China is fake communist. It's such an important cope for westies, cause accepting that a communist country does everything better than your beloved capitalism is a hard pill to swallow.

Fucking hell mate, do you not get irony?

Go criticise the CCP in China and see what happens

I can call the UK govt cunts all day without getting on a list or a visit before the Tory conference

And if it's going so well, why have they stopped publishing youth unemployment rates???

Hint, the last set said youth unemployment was at 21.3%

China is a capitalist country, why else would they be buying western companies?

My favorite part about you is just how aggressively wrong you are about everything. For example let's just dissect this bit of sheer nonsense:

And if it’s going so well, why have they stopped publishing youth unemployment rates???

Youth unemployment in China is... perfectly line with youth unemployment in Europe https://www.statista.com/statistics/613670/youth-unemployment-rates-in-europe/

And if you bothered actually reading the shit you post, you'd find out that it counts youth unemployment from the age of 16. Being shocked at the fact that kids are going to school instead of working is of course nothing to be surprised about when talking to a capitalism enjoyer.

This is such a hilraiously reductive understanding of what a capitalist country is. Using your "logic", UK is a communist country because you still have public healthcare for now.

Lol, it's in line with basket cases like Greece and Spain. The average is 10% below China's

Now go look at Chinas property market that's about to implode.

Check out their deflation risk while you're at it.

Because they're not in school you fucking moron, they're unemployed.

No Tankard, social policies != communism

Not sure what point you're trying to make there to be honest. I'm guessing you're trying to create some emotional appeal there, but we can find pictures of western regimes committing far worse atrocities today. In fact, US regime alone is responsible for over 300 million deaths https://nyupress.org/9781583679890/endless-holocausts/
