The first claim is just straight plain old racism, while the second reeks of confused lib. Either way, calling someone a slave in this context is almost certainly meant as an insult to the political organisation of the state and not to its people. This distinction is important with respect to moderation.
I consider the proletariat of capitalist societies to be slaves by definition. Thus if I were convinced that the PRC was capitalist, I could stand behind this sentiment.
I love justifying racism too don't worry
How was I racist? Seems to me that your retort targets some untrue idea in your head about who I am rather than what I actually wrote.
I also do not understand why you made this post if you do not actually make an attempt at trying to understand the replies in return.
