Reddit mentions of The Perfect Dictatorship: China in the 21st Century

Busy day, so not much time to argue.

> See, the fact that you call China a dictatorship rather than an oligarchy tells me a lot about your perceptions of the situation.

Aside from you trying to deflect by playing word games, labeling China a dictatorship is common practice.

  >This isn't Mao's regime anymore. China isn't ruled by an autocrat, it's governed according the council of the CPC as a whole.
  
  Again, betrays your lack of understanding of the party and how it works (See links above and below)

  >I'd rather be governed by boring but educated technocrats than entertaining but unqualified demagogues any day.
  
  Again, betrays your lack of understanding of China. These are the same people who have imprisoned up to 1 million people in re-education camps, kills prisoners in order to harvest their organs, and has caused massive environment damage to the planet in both China and abroad.
  
  >If Hong Kong was completely uninhabited when the British arrived, wouldn't the population be entirely Caucasian by now, rather than being inhabited by ethnic Chinese? Did they just spawn out of nowhere?
  
  Again, betrays your total lack of understanding of the topic. Hong Kong's population mainly came from voluntary migration into the colony from outside sources. Very few people were captured/annexed.

  > This isn't "two wrongs making a right," this is simply undoing the damage, plain and simple.
  
  You are hiding the fact that you are here to engage in a bad faith argument. Rather than having a discussion of facts, you are here to promote the century of humiliation narrative.
  
  >As if everyone who opposes your political ideals must be incentivized somehow to do so, now THAT is hysterical
  
  You are repeating a CCP promoted weaponized narrative: Instead, one common response in the current narrative is to accuse critics of being hysterical.
  
  > I'm not but someone who sympathizes with Socrates and his analogy of the Ship of State.
  
  Another CCP narrative. This time it's that chinese people are incapable of governing themselves which is why they need the CCP.
