This article needs a translator.

"Liberal Democracy" needs replacing with "dictatorship of the bourgeoisie"

"Chinese-style democracy" needs replacing with "dictatorship of the proletariat"

"Democratic values" needs replacing with "bourgeois values"

"post-materialist values" means "individualist"

"Democratic freedoms" means "freedom of capital"

I honestly think a browser extension marxism-lens that auto swaps liberal media phrases for what they actually are would be useful.

I can't tell if the english translators/writers at SCMP have no idea what these phrases properly mean or if they're very aware and being savvy about what most of their readers would understand.

SCMP is a liberal outlet based in HK that became nominally pro-China after Alibaba bought it. My guess is they know exactly what they're saying.

Fun trivia fact, Murdoch used to own it.

I have to imaging this would be easily done.

I've had a browser extension that swaps billionaire with oligarch for years it's great

Got a link? Never written an extension before but if I can get the code for it I can probably learn to do multiple words.

It's pretty easy, I've already made a modified copy that does it.
