What do you mean?
You're describing the US to a tee. China is a unlike what you think. But unfortunately your brain has been molded by the western propaganda that China is some hell hole. Come and see for yourself. Maybe, just maybe you'll get an incling of how delusional you are.
If china isn't fascist then America definitely ISN'T fascist
It's either both or neither
You can't have your cake and eat it too, you know?
so which one of those points are you disputing
Fascism is more complicated than that, and while China is nationalistic it's not running on the kind of ultranationalism that, say, Nazi Germany had. Modern China doesn't meet any credible definition of fascism.
I don't understand why you'd post that link. Almost all of those 14 points are true for China.
Um... hell no? There's no way more than 3-4/14 are true unless you're working with some kind of alternate universe China. Nothing about China is traditionalist, anti-modernist or anti-intellectualist, for one; they're probably the most technocratic nation on Earth.
Lmao. If you only read what they want you to read, sure.
