First of all, I want to say that it’s wonderful to see all of you here, and your critical support of the nation I proudly call home. But more and more recently, especially reading through Chinese internet too, there has been a sense of overconfidence and overglorification of China. It is honestly a little worrying at times for me, because as much as I love my homeland and is proud of what we are doing, I know full and well that we are still a long way to go. I see this sentiment of China being the glorious land far away as a bastion and utopia against Western Imperialism and while there’s a lot of truth behind that sentiment, and I definitely understand why one not living in China would choose to believe this (I live in the US now and I understand your pain, fellow US comrades). I just want to remind everyone to exercise dialectal materialism on this subject and try to look at China in a less idealised way. We cannot grow to be better without recognising our mistakes. Anyways that is my little message to you all. Have a nice day!

    I support China purely because I think China as a world power will be more beneficial for our future than the US. Future revolutions will do it better, but China is making an excellent blueprint on how state capitalism can be better than the free market.

      Off-topic but Cuba brightens my heart, a strong revolutionary spirit coupled with true socialist progress right off the coast of the gaudiest space in the Imperial Core. What they have done with regards to Revolutionary Medicine is mind-blowing to an American Capitalist Pig like myself.
