      The composition of government officials in leadership positions is very different in China than other countries. More than 40% of them hold STEM related degrees. But more importantly it’s not like they’re exempt from the same mass surveillance everyone else is. There is no privacy, but it’s generally seen as a tradeoff for security. With such intense punishments and mass surveillance, I really don’t think they are.

      Each time you say ccp instead of cpc you’re outing your ethnosupermacist tendencies, regardless of how much internalized they may be

        Not everyone but most, you think americans are genetically inferior and all other humans are saints? No history proves all elite are corrupt on average.

          It’s amazing that you are literally so incapable of conceptualizing systemic issues, I.e. problems caused by material conditions enforced by the systems of government, that you immediately go to genetics/racism as the only other possible reason Americans are ruled by Pedos.

          you think americans are genetically inferior

          No however they do however have a far worse system and given that existence precedes thought this leads to far worse outcomes in many regards such as this.

      I don’t know what this ccp is, but I definitely do not think that CPC officials are diddling kids. It’s incredible how westerners have infinite capacity to project what goes on in their own rotten societies on everyone else.

          I didn’t say nobody there is rotten. But what I do know is that people have been ejected from CPC and even jailed for far less, something that doesn’t happen in the west. Having actual accountability is the difference.

            Ah then I misunderstood what you meant with “I definitely do not think that CPC officials are diddling kids”, sorry.

            you’re drawing a very long bow there. I lived in the PRC for a long time and they had their fair share of issues like this to deal with; that said, white collar crime and sex crimes in general go largely unpunished in patriarchal cultures, so no surprise in either case.

              It is now well documented that the west is ruled by pedos who are completely and utterly unaccountable. Meanwhile, the same cannot be said for CPC. Sure, there is corruption and crime in China, just like in every human society. But we see people actually being held accountable when crimes are discovered. That’s the fucking difference.

                  sure bud, people in China are regularly sentenced for corruption which never happens in the west. But some internet trolls says there’s absolutely no difference between the two systems so it must be true.

                    again, drawing a long bow there. I said white collar crime and sex crimes go largely unpunished in patriarchal cultures; i stand by that, i feel it would be naive to think otherwise.

          You’re right, of the 100 million members, several are probably child rapist. Probably a number consistent with overall society. And many more would do other evil things if given permissive circumstance. But that doesn’t mean the organisation is defined by it. For that to be the case, there needs to be proof something widespread. There is proof for the ruling class in the USA, and there isn’t for PRC.
