That is false. When you can raise up all your citizenry (other than the slaves) to the point that they can all drive cool cars, then they can all drive cool cars. When you can raise up the common citizens to where they can all have big screen TVs, then they can all have big screen TVs.
The fact that a communist nation is now providing luxuries to "the workers" says that finally, one communist nation has successfully managed to raise the bottom, rather than just dragging everyone outside the party down to the bottom's level.
Except the slaves / 1. organ harvesting donors. 2. Poor Uyghurs. One little terrorist attack, and millions enslaved. Ah well, it's a Communist nation. AKA Dictatorship. That's what happens. No challenge to power.
1. This is factual especially in the late 90s and mid 2000s. There are party leaders in poorer regions of China that were in cahoots with local gangs to do that.
2. This is half truth, there are two groups of Muslims in China , the Uyghurs and the Huis. The Uyghurs has been terrorizing and being indoctrinated by extremist Muslim ideologies and guess who are the ones behind it you are right (Uncle Sam) same old tactic that is being employed during the fight against the Soviets back in Afghanistan.
China as it is , is already a authoritarian " Communist : 1 party state, they are not going to let them breath.
A million enslaved is also false. Reading too much Adrian Zenz or similar reports that derive from him is not going to give you any truth.
There is no way you can enslave a million people in this day and age. The number will be closer to around 20 to 30K while a large swath of their population is under surveillance for around 5 to 8 years.
Also a few thousand hardcore ones are probably shot.
