    So basically they are saying China should become capitalist and it will fix their problems 🤣

      Um, no, that’s not at all what it’s saying. It is saying China should ease off the cronie capitalism and try a little socialism for ordinary people.

        When they suggest “freeing the market” they mean neoliberal capitalism. There aint a universe where opening markets means “more socialism”.

        Also crony capitalism isnt a thing, its just regular capitalism.

        I’m actually going to go a step further and say regulated, non-crony capitalism would also be better than what they have. The party has no incentive to bring either in as they are the cronies, though.
