I mean the US was the model for EuroFascim

State capitalism with American characteristics.

I mean China exists last I checked, and they've said they would like to do more trade with Canada. Instead, Carney keeps trying to fight a tariff war with China while bending over for the US.

Because the best way to negotiate with Trump is to roll over and let him know that he can do whatever he wants to you.

a lost redditor appears

Again, talking about biases in state media is nonsensical when we're discussing state policy based on the statements from people in the government. The biases they express are literally the point. The study is on what has CPC publicly said throughout the years. Meanwhile, what China has done over the years isn't exactly a secret either. They haven't been at war since the 70s, they have managed to establish mutually beneficial relationships with the majority of countries around the world, and they're developing in a peaceful fashion. This matches closely what the stated policy is. If you go back on a time scale of maybe 10 years back, you'll find that China has been fairly transparent regarding what their goals are and their actions match their words.

I did read it. Where the articles are published isn't really all that relevant is it, especially given that we're talking about statements from state officials. We're literally talking about state policy here, and a huge volume of it was examined. I'm not even sure what argument you were attempting to make here, but I'm sure it sounded really intelligent in your head.

Not only are you creating a false dichotomy here, but you're ignoring the fact that Trump coming to power is itself is a direct product of decades of liberal policies.

literally the first paragraph 🤦

Abstract

The conventional wisdom is that China is a rising hegemon eager to replace the United States, dominate international institutions, and re-create the liberal international order in its own image. Drawing on data from 12,000 articles and hundreds of speeches by Xi Jinping, to discern China's intentions we analyze three terms or phrases from Chinese rhetoric: “struggle” (斗争), “rise of the East, decline of the West” (东升西降), and “no intention to replace the United States” ((无意取代美国).

Not only didn't you bother reading the study before commenting, you didn't even bother reading the summary I provided which clearly states that the study analyzed 12,000 Chinese speeches/articles.

Markets are fundamentally profit driven, and services like healthcare or housing need to be provided regardless of the profit motive. These are a natural fit for the state owned industries. Where markets can have a role is providing nice to have things that improve general quality of life, but aren't living essentials.

We don't need to reach full automation. We throw away half the food we produce right now, there is more empty housing having been bought up for speculation than there are people in the US or Canada. The problem is with the economic system that fails to distribute according to need. The solution is to ensure that workers are the primary beneficiaries of their own labour as opposed to the oligarchs who own capital.
