Your statement about China not having a financialist capital class seemed slightly out of touch so I provided you with examples of some Chinese capital class

I seems you have no clue what the difference between an industrial capitalist and a finacial capitalist is, because you provided not a example of finacial capitalists existing. You just showed me an example of a industrial/realestate capitalist eating shit. Not so much in cahoots after all then ,right? Not like the CPC declared the “3 red lines” in order to mitigate the bubble forming, not like there’s a 95% homeowner ship rate in china already and it’s just speculators eating shit, not like Asianometry is a very informed lib viewing the deliberate crash from a liberal perspective, right?

China’s banks are nationalized. When was theast time you heare about Jack Ma, who wanted to ascend to be a financial capitalist by circumventing finance laws with ANT pay?

Communism is when not billionaires. The more Billionaires you have to less communism it is.

See, what the CPC is doing is not communism. It’s market socialism, or SWCC to be more accurate, which is not without it’s contradictions. Communism cannot exist when Capitalism and Imperialism exists.

When you write stuff like:

instead of greed being innate to humans

Muh human nature

As for the imperialism I only hear the same argument as for Western imperialism: someone drew lines on a map 200 years ago

I know for a fact you haven’t read theory and don’t want to be talking to you until you haven’t done your homework.

Arguing on semantics is a liberals game. Anyway the last user claimed China was definitely not cracking down on Xinjiang so I linked him this damning compilation.

Haven’t heard from him since.

Unless you’re going to claim cultural Genocide is fine when China does it because they call their imperialism differently I don’t really care for the argument.

  Semantics are important with words like “imperialism”, “capitalism” and other isms.
  
  Xinjiang so I linked him this damning compilation.
  
  Xinjiang has 1 mosque per ~500 Muslims and one of the highest densities with 25k mosques total
  
  en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mosques_in_China
  
  Your (western) article makes an “analysis of 2,312 mosques once featuring Islamic architecture shows that three-quarters have been modified or destroyed since 2018.”
  
  Which 1) is not that many compares to the total amount. 2) Has an interest in focussing on “modified” (i.e. renovated) and destroyed ones to make the 3/4 figure 3) apparently has access to that data, but refuses to list the total amount of destroyed ones.
  
  Also cultural genocide is when Uyghur is an official languages and also used publicly everywhere. Cultural genocide is when you can freely practice your religion everywhere. Cultural genocide is when all Muslim majority visited the region and had no complaints. Apparently genocide on Muslims is not happening in Palestine (said by the same voices that do say it’s happening in China)
  
  You might want to consider the context a bit (also with western sources): www.qiaocollective.com/education/xinjiang

    Cultural Genocide is not equal to full on literal israel style delete everyone you don’t like. It is more similar to the French colonialism in Algeria (see imperialism) and their attempt to assimilate their subjects afterwards. Gradually ereasing a culture to ‘enlighten’ the population with le epic atheism.
    
    Altering appearances of mosques to make them appear Chinese is an incredibly visually obvious step to slow-boiling the frog.
    
    ~2022; Xi Stresses Sinicization and Regulation of Religious Activities
    
    Religious affairs in China should be regulated in accordance with the country’s socialist society, Xi said at the latest National Religious Affairs Meeting held in Beijing. Xi urged more nationalism, collectivism, socialism, and an improved understanding of history in the religious sector. He also emphasized the importance of the overall national security.
    
    The religious sector should strengthen its self-education and management and should only conduct activities that respect laws and regulations, Xi said. China will also aim to ensure that party and government leadership have a sufficient understanding of Marxist religious views.
    
    And if you don’t know what “Marxist religious views” means I recommend the document you linked earlier it was quite evidently not too fond of religion.

    Not what I was saying. I was saying that the same voices that say a “cultural genocide” is happening in China, are saying no genocide (not cultural, but the actual extermination of people) is happening in Palestine.
    
    Altering appearances of mosques to make them appear Chinese is an incredibly visually obvious step to slow-boiling the frog.
    
    Or you know, altering the building in a way it doesn’t crash on its worshipers i.e. renovating.
    
    Sinicization involves aligning religion to Chinese culture, and can also extend to adherence to the nation’s political ideology and rules.
    
    Like any fucking religion has to adhere to their host country. Basically it means if your interpretation of Islam is some radical shit where go stab random ass people you can get lost like they did with the western backed ETIM (Based)
    
    Also you seem to have a very narrow understanding of culture. You haven’t addressed even how the language and cultural practices aren’t banned. Slow boiling the frog my ass
