Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I've spoken with Chinese people online that backed all of this up, in detail. 6-12s were outlawed by China that is, but they still make them work them,, they just don't pay the extra hours.
The part about residency in the cities, about lack of protections, about pollution, all true. As is the forcing of tens of millions off of their family farms to force them into the industrial meat grinder. The great leap forward is well documented, as is their transformation, same as with all nations in the north, of a half or more of the population being on smaller farms to only a handful of a percent in the span of industrialization.
It's not like any of this is unique to China, this has happened in about every country that industrialized. It is only after a labour movement took hold that any of the working peoples got anything other than long hours for starvation wage pay, that is the natural state of Capitalism. Until labor can achieve some power their workers will continue to be exploited the maximum amount possible.
You can see what China is doing, getting all of our tech and getting their factories built for them by exploiting western greed, but they are sacrificing generations of their people to misery to get there, and irrevocably poisoning a lot of watersheds/ground. None of this is particularly groundbreaking, this is the background on the country, it's rather common knowledge. Ideologues may be misplaced in their sentiments trying to pretend it's all swell there, but their energy would be better spent finding ways to organize China's workforce, to improve their lot. Because it improves the country's lot as well. More money in the hands of workers means more goods bought, which is more factory orders, it's a reinforcing cycle.
Chiseling workers out of a dignified life makes everyone poorer in the long run, and China already has wall street where it wants them, they don't need more investment/factories. It's time to squeeze Wall Street, for the Workers. It's time to make good on the Promises of Socialism.
