@incoherentmumblings @akshatrathi not really.

#China suffered over a century of #Colonialism, #Warlordism, #CivilWar, Japan basically genociding huge parts of it's civilians in it's expansionism, Civil War and #Maoism until the #CCP got their shit together.

• It's kinda like how people think Post-#WW2 #Germany got a "miraculous recovery" when in fact it's just "where a lot of rubble is, there's a lot of need to employ people to clear up and rebuild!"...

Same as #Somalia today and many other places that git ravaged by conflicts but stabilized.

• China's #Oligarchy exists and #inequality too is great.

It's just that the "P.R." China had ~70 years of uninterrupted shouting of "Sit down, you will enjoy our progress!" and having everyone who didn't agree either "reeducated" or forcibly disappeared.

• And #Beijing does have a tight grip on #media. People there jist don't know better!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS_UcAVWQs8
