I'm sorry that some comrades here have been dismissive toward you, but you seriously need to educate yourself more on a subject before you speak on it thinking that you have understood it. There are plenty of resources that the Lemmygrad community can offer you to further your knowledge about China if you leave your preconceptions at the door and come at this with some humility.
Yeah, when i wrote that there were still fairly few substantial responses compared to mocking ones. But by now i see they've been offered plenty of good, comprehensive sources of information, and now that they're banned and can't waste as much time saying ignorant things here maybe they will have more time to read the material that they've been so helpfully provided with. Probably not though...they're probably allergic to reading as most libs are...
Well, you did what you could. Can't reach everyone right away. Sometimes people need to have time to stew a bit and process new information. Sometimes it takes repeated exposure to the new ideas before they become more open to them. Which is why we should never stop explaining, even if it's frustrating.
I know I certainly do. Or let's say i try to do so whenever i have the time, even if i am already familiar with the subject. It's good to read more about a topic from a different angle that i hadn't considered before. So i am always thankful when comrades provide sources in their comments. I'm often too lazy or short on time to do the same, but i really should.
