    Yeah, it’s bad. There are fewer worker protections and unions are illegal.

        There is one mega-union (the only permitted one) with officials appointed by the CCP. It’s essentially a sham, like the non-CCP parties in Congress that are nominally a type of opposition but can never hold any real power.

        And yes, it is ironic and sad. Nordic countries are more communist than China is. China doesn’t even have truly free healthcare like Canada etc.

        You see, it’s not communism, but communism with Chinese ideals (therefore whatever the heck the CCP wants it to be)

        It’s not communist, it’s just a nazi state with a different name.

        All the rest applies, the racial bits, the cruelty and genocide, all of it.

        No, I lie, the nazis didn’t execute nearly as many of their own people, nor did they restrict reproduction in the same way.

        Chinese Unions are a joke, it is common practice that union preventatives would trying to convince you to be more understanding of your boss.

        It’s a well known joke that the only reason Chinese Union exists is to prevent real unions to form (you want a worker union? but we already have one, go talk to them).
