Lol that must be true for some country somewhere, but China is not it, no matter how much even I would like it to be true.
Which other countries does China exploit?
Are you serious? China is an imperialist country like most others that are that big.
Tell me who they’ve exploited. Go on.
Africa.
China is mining Africa. They lend money to local governments, make them build infrastructure to mine natural resources, and then let the countries spiral into never ending debt.
One could argue that it's money used to invest in local production, but the real cash is making stuff from raw resources (In China). Also the fact it's China lending the money and taking mineral rights and infrastructure as collateral is, well, colonialism.
Examples: Kenya, Zambia.
Open a web browser, go to your preferred search engine and start documenting youself.
lmao, you literally can’t even name one
I can handle you being stupid, but do you really gotta be this lazy?
The answer is that they don’t.
You haven't searched then, because it's pretty easy to find that info, I assure you.
And that's why you're unable to provide a single example. 🤡
Give a man a fish...
When you make bombastic claims, get called out on your bullshit, but then keep doubling down on it. Your dedication to the art of trolling is admirable.
I understand that informing yourself isn't something you probably do often, assuming you are allowed to.
Being actually informed on the subject is precisely how I know that you are completely and utterly full of shit.
Uhh... if the info you talk about is comparable to the survey... well...
Even a chatbot could come up with a more coherent reply than that. 🤣
Nah I get that you think people should take your drivel seriously. You must spend a lot of time sniffing your own farts when you're not making a clown of yourself in public.
Well then I'll be happy if you exlpain me how you think the democracy and the perception of democracy can be measured scientifically through different populations in (very few) different countries without it being just a biased bunch of numbers.
Democracy means a government that serves the majority, and answers to them. Its most important measure lies the steady rise in people’s living standards. But perception matters too, do citizens believe their government works for them?
In the West, most don’t. And why would they? They watch their livelihoods shrink while oligarchs, the real rulers of capitalist regimes, gorge themselves on the exploitation of the working class. In China, people call their system democratic, because it is. They’ve witnessed the fastest improvement in living standards in human history. That’s not just democracy in theory. It’s democracy in practice.
And where is the scientific method in all that?
In all the numerous studies have been done over many decades that you could've easily googled. In fact, I even linked many of them here because unlike some people I actually source my claims.
I do, and I can guarantee you that it has fuck all to do with a single thing you've said in this thread.
🤣 Really? Even saying "how do you measure perception" has nothing to do with it? Are you sure?
You measure perception by doing surveys and asking questions. That's how social scientific studies are conducted. Thanks for further confirming you don't understand how scientific method works though.
