You don't engage with the facts you don't like and only hold up the sources that prove your points. I pulled out facts about citizens self mutilating and you responded with an ad hominem claiming I was using a word that belonged to you rather than engage with the facts.
You blame others for what you are doing.

I have and others in here have been just pointing out other ways that China is not perfect but you ignore those and hold up the Harvard study you have as if it was a silver bullet to finally slay all the mean things people say about the country you apparently love, that won't love you back.

I never claimed it's a perfect utopia,

I'm arguing against people saying that china isn't perfect

You are a hypocrite. We all are but you refuse to see it.

Saying that China isn't perfect and isn't communist

What part of this was too hard to understand? I know it's not perfect, it doesn't have to be. That doesn't make it not socialist.

It's legitimacy doesn't come from being perfect, it comes from being overwhelmingly popular with its people, which you ignore while pulling your melodramatics.
