I don’t think China has ever even tried to pretend it’s the land of the free.
Some china fans seem to think it is
Eh the authoritarian capitalists who love the CCP generally seem to embrace the fact that China is authoritarian - they see it as a good thing!
I think that we in the west sometimes fall into the trap of believing that our core values of freedom and democracy are supreme and are what all people across the world want to achieve and should aspire to.
Maybe a lot of people in China think that a strong centralised government guiding the economy and most aspects of people's lives is the sign of a healthy society and they are happy with it. Maybe they think it's we who are sick because we don't like the state being too involved in our lives. To them, perhaps it's complete insanity.
Idk, I might be talking complete bs. I just think that different people have different values and there's no right answer to how society is set up.
