Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

When you're trying to compete with capitalist nations that will stoop far lower than you to outproduce and then wipe you off the map, you can't deny yourself any advantage. This 0th stage of socialism/state capitalism/central planning making an attempt to do what it needs to do to survive.
Is it good? No, it's terrible. Will it work? Maybe, maybe not, but I see why they have to try something. Is it justified? If it works to outproduce and then defeat the imperial core, yes.
Compete in what? Lowest labor compensation? usa growth is fairly ephemeral 1.5 % if one were to remove immigration influence, with some indeterminable amount of that is financialization of human relations (any time you close kindergarten and hire someone to watch a child/instead of elderly grandma you increase gdp after all).
They outproduce them already, they need to show human face instead of race to the bottom with porky, porky has colonies, you can't outcompete in that space.
And i described my ideal solution tbh: give workers a collective choice - bonuses include - (a) not a problem for government anymore (b) manufacturing consent logic - let people have lively debate about some issues not ultimately important to the state (c) same commie logic - let people decide what they want in spheres that can be offloaded from the state
