You know what happens when an entire nation is exposed to luxurious lifestyles of an extremely wealthy minority?
Revolution. Revolution happens.
Chinese politicians know this fact too well, that’s why they’re trying to make rich people hide their wealth.
I mean actually fixing the problem is out of the question, that would be communism.you and me are probably exposed to extreme luxury from a minority, but revolution aint happening anywhere rn
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Gotta suppress those aspirations before they get out of hand. Wealth is just the theme in this case, but could be anything else.

They also want the same thing.
This is one of those laws where I fundamentally disagree with the state having the power to make laws like this because the power will be misused, but in this instance, I actually think the law seems fine? Its not just exposing actual luxurious lifestyles like you imply, its also people going into debt to fake a higher level of lifestyle than they actually live, and this self perpetuates through social media like a virus.
If the government gave even a single shit about the poor, they would focus on banning wealth hoarding not wealth flaunting.
But they don’t, so they aren’t.
What they are doing is openly showing who they are and what they do care about (capitalists, on both counts), you not wanting to believe it is a different problem.Hoarding would be sufficient.
Limiting peoples ability to express rarely results in desired outcome.
Communism wouldn’t fix much, and it would only be a temporary fix. It doesn’t work well at a larger scale which is why every country that has tried it has either fallen apart or turned into a dictatorship.
We’re better off finding the proper balance between capitalism and socialism until someone comes up with a better system that actually works.
I mean most houses crumble when you hit em with a tornado but were still building houses.
What i mean to say is I think we can agree there’s enough noise in most previous communism attempts, making them pretty shitty data to base your hypothesis off off
Communism is a house that crumbles on its own, fast, while producing tornadoes that take down other houses in the process.
Fun analogy but uh that’s not all that scientific my guy.
Give me 5 min and I’ll draw communism as Chad then you’ll be fucked
China really doesn’t want to have the discussion that its economy is more unequal than the EU’s.
Funny how China gets criticised both for doing “communist” things and then for doing “not really communist” things. Seems like they get criticised regardless of what they do.
its a bad day to be a chinese gangsta rapper.
bad news, those who do rap in China are all technical secondary schools.
I know that not all countries care about academic qualifications as much as China. Academic qualifications mean almost everything in Chinese, so this makes those who rap more funny because they have no academic both time . can you understand what i mean ？
Nah. Having so much wealth that it doesn’t matter if the CCP makes flaunting illegal is an insane flex. They’ll start doing it even more.
inb4 tankies screaming that this is a good thing, actually.
Hahaha they’re so predictable
Transparency and knowledge are capitalist myths. The only way forward is mass manipulation and the destruction of freedom.
Destruction of freedom? What freedom? They already are slaves of the big corporate elite machine lizards!

China has never experienced a Renaissance, so it will never be civilized
That’s a weird combination of things to believe. It’s weird all together and every part of it is weird individually.
I can explain to you ten thousand words to prove that China’s humanistic heritage has never changed since the Qin Dynasty.
This is probably a consensus on the Chinese Internet.
I was just joking when I said Renaissance, although it is not unreasonable.

Communism is when China does anything… Especially capitalism!
China is “communist” in the same way NK is “democratic”. It’s just branding.
Communism is when wealth disparity
Yea. They want it to be communism. But communism never worked.
Capitalism only works in theory in practice it’s all homeless encampments, people going hungry, wealth inequality, gender inequality, race inequality, global inequality, climate disaster, war.
Capitalism has never worked
A balance between capitalism and socialism is what most countries are already using and has worked for a long time.
Communism is the one that only works in theory and anywhere it has been tried has quickly led to dictatorships or else it has fallen apart.
Edit: what most countries are using (not every country)
Social programs and social welfare aren’t really balancing socialism with capitalism, the means of production is fully owned by capitalists and there is no democratization of it. Sure we have some coops but the vast majority of workplaces are dictatorships
Yes workplaces are communist dictatorships. There’s one key difference between a workplace that is a communist dictatorship and a country that is one: you’re at that workplace by your own consent and you can leave.
Communism is okay when people can choose it willingly and opt out any time. When that communist system is competing with other communist systems for resources.
Also, the means of production are largely owned by workers in the United States, given how many companies offer stock to their employees, and how many people work for themselves, and how many people use their own tools, cars, computers, and kitchens to earn money.
