I'd love to take a 70 year old Chinese victim that lived through the great-leap-forward and culture revolution and to get their honest perspective on this. They managed to live through starvation and wide-spread Maoist violence to witness the end of capitalism only to see the same bozo's re-introduce capitalism forty years later in the form of crony-capitlism...And if they try to speak about any of what they'd learned to their grand kids they're likely to get hauled off to a gulag while their grand-kids bytedance and chow down on Kentucky Fried Chicken.


an amusing fantasy. I'd love to see your western biases shatter when you do just that. do you think it's at all hard to find a 70yr old Chinese person?


actually, this is the description of chairman Xi.
