Yep, people would get free, high quality education, and then go to the west to make more money.

So you shoot them for leaving the country because they got education in your system? Yeah...very social of you.

Wrong, actually. The vast majority regret the fall of the USSR and say they lived better under it.

Nostalgia: A mood triggered by discomfort with the present and filled with an indefinite longing, which is expressed in a return to a past time that has been transfigured in the imagination and whose fashion, art, music, etc. is revived.

i bet we're far better of than the UdssR was. Again: you don't comply? Ok Gulag for you!

  1. Social Credit is largely a myth, Capitalist countries have worse systems.
  2. Capitalist internet is also censored.
  3. Tian’anmen Square in April 1989 was actually peaceful, the conflicts and deaths happened outside the square itself, hence why there’s a western myth that the CPC is somehow covering up a mass-Maoist protest against Dengist reforms, when the CPC acknowledges that hundreds of people were killed that day in the areas surrounding the Square.
  1. maybe, ok. I don't see what the benefit is from that being a hoax.
  2. well you can look up nearly all warcrimes ever committed. Try using chinese Google to look up their warcrimes....whoops nothing there. Uighurs? No....nothing happening.
  3. Really dude? the Massacre is a myth or at least the covering up of it? C'mon...pray tell me you believe at least the moonlanding was a real thing

The East was basically funding the West's education for skilled labor, so the West got all of the free advantage from the East's social programs.

Yep, the Soviet system had better metrics than the Capitalist systems.

Red scare propaganda, the US is preparing for war with the PRC.

There was no massacre on the square. There was lots of fighting and killing in the surrounding areas, between a few hundred and couple thousand people died that day when adding up PLA and rioter deaths, but the fighting didn't happen on the square. The west uses the fact that on Chinese sites there's no mention of a massacre on the square to pretend the CPC is saying it didn't happen anywhere.
