Ισχυει. Ωστοσο στην Κινα δεν εχουν φτασει ακομα στο ανωτερο σταδιο του κομμουνισμου.

Εννοείς την αταξική κοινωνία; Νομιζω οτι η βερσιόν κομμουνισμού τους είναι προσαρμοσμένη στα τοπικά χαρακτηριστικά, όπως αντίστοιχα ο αραβικός σοσιαλισμός. Πάντοτε, από την εποχή του Μάο ακομα ήταν προσανατολισμένοι στο έθνος περισσότερο απ οτι στην τάξη. Θα τολμούσα να χρησιμοποιήσω τον όρο εθνικοσοσιαλισμος, αλλά έχει πολύ αρνητική χροιά λόγω των ναζί.

χωρις να γνωριζω για ακριβεις θεωρητικες προσεγγισεις, ο Μαοισμος ειναι αντιθετικος με εθνικισμο/πατριωτισμο κλπ και αποσο ξερω ο Μαο εξοντωσε τους εθνικιστες, αφου βεβαια τους χρησιμοποιησε πρωτα ως συμμαχους στον αγωνα εναντια των ιαπωνων. So much για εθνικη ενοτητα.

Η Κίνα σύμφωνα με τη θεωρία της είναι στο πρωταρχικό στάδιο του σοσιαλισμού, που σημαίνει ότι οι παραγωγικές δυνάμεις δεν είναι αρκετά ανεπτυγμένες για να εφαρμοστεί ο σοσιαλισμός, αλλά όλα γίνονται υπό την καθοδήγηση του ΚΚ με γνώμονα την άφιξη στο σοσιαλισμό.

Φυσικά και είναι κομμουνιστές.

Ισχυει. Ωστοσο στην Κινα δεν εχουν φτασει ακομα στο ανωτερο σταδιο του κομμουνισμου.

Τρωνε φίδια, παγκολινους και νυχτερίδες Τι αλλο δηλαδή μενει να φανε για να φτασουν στο ανώτερο σταδιο;

Χαχαχα διαβάστε τα σχόλια, οι περισσότεροι βλάκες κατάλαβαν ότι το PayPal το αγόρασε η Κίνα αντί για το ότι το PayPal έγινε η πρώτη 100% ξένη εταιρία συναλλαγών στην Κίνα

China is in the midst of its darkest period for human rights since the Tiananmen Square massacre, Human Rights Watch has said in its annual report.

Worsening persecutions of ethnic minorities in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Tibet, targeting of whistleblowers, the crackdown on Hong Kong and attempts to cover up the coronavirus outbreak were all part of the deteriorating situation under President Xi Jinping, the organisation said.

“This has been the darkest period for human rights in China since the 1989 massacre that ended the Tiananmen Square democracy movement,” the report on worldwide human rights abuses said.

But 2020 was also the year that world governments found “safety in numbers” to push back on China’s policies of repression, with less fear of retaliation, it said.

“The Chinese government’s authoritarianism was on full display in 2020 as it grappled with the deadly coronavirus outbreak first reported in Wuhan province,” the report said, describing the initial cover-up of the outbreak by authorities and the punishment of whistleblower doctors including Li Wenliang and journalists such as Zhang Zhan, who reported on the Wuhan lockdown and on surveillance and harassment of virus victims’ families .

At the same time, “Beijing’s repression – insisting on political loyalty to the Chinese Communist party – deepened across the country”, it said.

Έγινε και η Zhang Zhan "journalist".

Να θυμίσω ότι ήταν μια γραφική με κάμερα, όχι δημοσιογράφος στο επάγγελμα, που πήγαινε κι έκανε τσαμπουκαδες στα checkpoints της Wuhan εν μέσω πανδημίας και του πιο επιτυχημένου λοκνταουν στην ιστορία.

Κάτοικοι της Δυτικής δυστοπίας: μάθετε τα ονόματα των Ηρώων!

Bad news is real news: Dr Li Wenliang

In late December 2019, Li, an eye doctor, sent a private message to several colleagues warning them of a possible Sars-like outbreak. That message was leaked to the public. He was then warned, not punished, by officials to be more discreet in communicating about the then little-known disease. He subsequently caught Covid-19 and died in February.
Based on that bare narrative skeleton, many mainland Chinese have rallied around his death as a focal point to criticise harsh official measures and inhumane treatment imposed on them as a result of efforts to contain the pandemic. No doubt their anger and grievances were justified. Meanwhile, the Western media have been portraying Li, even today, as a martyr and whistle-blower who sacrificed his own life to try to save others in the face of communist censorship and punishment.


Good news is no news: Dr Zhang Yongzhen and Dr Li Lanjuan

You are probably much less familiar with these two doctors unless you are a government policymaker, a medical expert or someone who follows the more technical aspects of the Covid-19 pandemic closely.

But it’s not surprising that the prestigious research publication, Nature, has picked the two as among the top “10 people who helped shape science in 2020”. Their actions and recommendations ultimately helped China turn the corner. They have been much less newsworthy, though, than the other Dr Li, because both worked within the Chinese official system.

The Nature profile of Zhang said: “The international scientific battle against Covid-19 began on the morning of January 11 in Shanghai. That was when virologist Zhang Yongzhen, after days of hesitation, agreed to post online the genome of the virus that was causing a pneumonia-like illness in Wuhan, China.

“His sharing showed the world that this was a new coronavirus, and similar to the one that caused the deadly 2003 outbreak of Sars [severe acute respiratory syndrome]. Researchers immediately pored over the genome to investigate the virus’ key proteins, produce diagnostic tests and design vaccines.

“That was the most important day in the Covid-19 outbreak,” says Linfa Wang, a virologist at Duke–National University of Singapore Medical School. Within two days, Thailand had used the genome to confirm that the virus had crossed the border, and US researchers were using it to design a coronavirus vaccine.”

Notice the date: January 11. One of China’s most important virologists was already sharing the most up-to-date data on a then little-known virus with the entire world. And yet, US propagandists such as outgoing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo still claim China was hiding and lying about the Wuhan outbreak long after that date.

Contrary to some reports, Zhang said his lab had stopped studying the virus for a short time because of the need to update biosafety protocols, rather than being punished for releasing the genetic data without going through all the usual government channels.

Writing for Time’s 100, Pardis Sabeti, a Harvard professor who led the original team that genetically sequenced the Ebola virus, had this to say: “The Covid-19 pandemic has been a global disaster – but it could have been much worse. The saving grace was Zhang Yongzhen, who led a team that published the first Sars-CoV-2 genome just days after the first cluster of cases emerged and likely within weeks of its jump into humans. That data allowed scientists around the world to begin developing tests for detecting the virus as early as January; as a result, China and other countries steadily closed the gap between infection and diagnosis, helping to flatten the curve and saving countless lives in the process.

“The Zhang team’s unprecedented speed was made possible by the extraordinary disease-monitoring network they had built to detect emerging flu strains and coronaviruses. Their work envisions what is possible with a collaborative, connected public-health collective, and illuminates what gaps still remain. It is now up to the global community to realise this potential, to stop Covid-19 and the next pandemic before it has a chance to start.”

Now consider Li Lanjuan. More than anyone else, the epidemiologist recommended the Chinese state to lock down Wuhan, a measure that was at the time questioned and denounced the world over but now imitated to various degrees in many countries.
According to Nature: “On January 18, China’s highest administrative body sent Li Lanjuan and other experts to Wuhan to size up its viral outbreak. A few days later, the 73-year-old epidemiologist at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou called for Wuhan – population 11 million – to be locked down immediately.

“In a January 22 interview on Chinese state television, she said: ‘If the infection continues to spread, other provinces will also lose control, like Wuhan. China’s economy and society will suffer seriously.’

“Zhong Nanshan, a respiratory expert at China’s Guangzhou Medical University, who led the team in Wuhan, had already announced that the virus could spread between people. The warnings from Li and Zhong helped to prompt decisive action.

“On January 23, all transport was blocked in and out of Wuhan and people were ordered to stay at home. Travel plans for Lunar New Year, which began on January 25, were cancelled. At the time, the lockdown struck many as an overreaction; it lasted for 76 days and was aggressively enforced. Some residents were unable to get medical care, and complained they had been left to die.

‘But the plan worked. It clearly led to excellent epidemic control within China and aversion of a far more catastrophic epidemic in the country,’ says epidemiologist Raina MacIntyre at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. Modellers estimated that it delayed the epidemic’s spread through China by 3-5 days, giving other regions time to prepare. And the number of exported cases dropped by 80 per cent for a few weeks.

‘Locking down a city of 11 million people to stop infections escaping was unique’, says Ben Cowling, an epidemiologist at the University of Hong Kong. ‘I don’t think there are precedents for this’.”

There is an American saying: “The system works.” However, if the Chinese system works, it’s not news in the West, especially in the mainstream English-speaking news media. That, I submit to you, actually results in intellectual disadvantages for citizens in the West by preventing them from having a proper picture or perspective on a country they have been told is the greatest threat to freedom, democracy and world peace.
