The chinese web novel reverand insanity literally got banned for criticizing china. The guy who wrote it can't write it anymore and you can't even pirate the novel in china. cuz its been deleted off the chinese internet.
That's nice and all, but there are literally millions of critics that aren't banned, whose work is publicly available, who criticize from a place of wanting to improve, not destroy.
China is ML, and if there's anything MLs live to do, it's criticize each other.
The vast majority of people that actually get banned from producing certain works either spread entirely false propaganda created by western intelligence agencies ( uighur "genocide" ) or want to remove the government entirely and replace it with a kleptocracy like the US has.
Could you perhaps share any authors, works, blogs or whatever in English that critique Chinese politics in the manner you're describing?
Edit: Let me rephrase after having done some searching. If Marxists wanted non-Chinese government and non-CIA funded information about the conditions and struggles of Chinese workers, where would be a good place to find it?
Fair. I don't follow chinese politics, I only read chinese webnovels translated into english so its the only thing I've heard of.
