I didn't think child labor still existed in China, just harsh labor conditions and low pay.
China's government's strict control of the media did, however, lead to me not questioning the social credit score thing.
Same.
Not hard to believe when there's camps for uyghurs.
Happy to be wrong.
I maintain this, but other comrades like @davel and @yogthos keep better megathreads about this topic.

This megathread is garbage, it lists quora and twitter threads as sources.
Twitter and quora are not sources lol. They're platforms ppl use, and their posts should be measured by their merits, not where it's posted.
I prefer hearing about it from Marxists far closer to the source, and using China's own information they publish:
