CRACKDOWN, CRACKDOWN CRACKDOWN!

Crack down on deez nuts, lmao gottem.

Some gems from the comments:

This is a classic case of why centrally planned economies don’t work. Political ideology takes precedence over efficient markets. It was destined to fail.

But… China’s economy has not failed. Putting the cart a thousand miles before the horse.

It’s also why Putin is willing to throw an entire generation of Russians, including the convicts and addicts at Ukraine. Russia is dead for 40 years because he failed to fulfill his mob boss promise to Xi. China is now clearing farmland in Siberia because the typhoon floods last August and September wiped out the Chinese people’s food storage.

Wake up, babe, new BlueAnon conspiracy just dropped. hillgasm

Xi’s just not into him or her; only Xi.

Found Elon’s account. melon-musk

A lot of those, like “cracking down” on NEETs and the gaming industry, would benefit the economy if done successfully.

Liberal infighting… It’s so much more boring than leftist infighting. What will happen to the NEETs when Xi presses the button?

    might threaten against Xi’s 3rd term

    Oh he’s just doing all these cool things because not doing it might be a threat to his 3rd term. Also Americans need to realize that not everybody follows the 2 term, 4 years per term limits.

    This is an old school one. They use the same “hoardes of desperate Russians” shit to dismiss the Red Army winning WW2

    A lot of those, like “cracking down” on NEETs and the gaming industry, would benefit the economy if done successfully.

    Let me guess, the liberals want to “crack down on NEETs” by removing safety nets and criminalising anyone who refuses to or can’t work?

    Comrade Xi is just mad that the third Crackdown game was terrible and is making his own.

    Incidentally, I think the inhabitants of /r/China are way closer to 4chan 1488 Nazi types than libs. They don’t even pretend to be non or anti-racist.

    Crackdown on Chinese fintechs like Ant group(who might threaten against Xi’s 3rd term)

    UNLIMITED GENOCIDE ON FINTECH!

    Crackdown on for profit afterschool cram schools, tutoring, and education (Guise of helping the middle class citizen but actually locks them out of the little social mobility they have. Reality this mobility lock is seen as a stabilizing factor which helps Xi after he gets his 3rd term)

    How to say “at what cost?” without saying “at what cost?”.

    Crackdown on gaming industry. Insisting full block M-F and 1hr max on weekends. (No fun allowed. No studying allowed. Only CCP school teachings. Afterschool is for CCP homework and restudying Xi JinPing thought)

    Gamers: the most oppressed minority.

    Crackdown on inflation (a threat to Xi’s 3rd term) by with authoritarian pricing controls and market manipulation which causes unnecessary monetary losses

    Reducing inflation by reducing costs of seldom bought high price goods while the cost of neccessities skyrockets 😍 🥰 💖

    Reducing inflation by implementing price controls 🤮 😡 angery

    Crackdown on foreign tech companies

    Laughs in tick tock

      So the weirdo you’re quoting is angry that parents can’t pay for private after school tutors for their kids and also their kids can’t play videogames all day every day. But then the weirdo you’re quoting says: “No fun allowed. No studying allowed. Only CCP school teachings. Afterschool is for CCP homework and restudying Xi JinPing thought”. And I think that’s a weird jump in logic, isn’t it? “No fun allowed”, “Afterschool is for CCP homework”, but China is surely not banning hanging out with friends, which is one of the main sources of fun I enjoyed when I was a kid. It looks to me like Xi is mandating that kids touch some grass, not that they become little communist robots.

      Videogames aren’t the only source of fun I guess is what I’m saying.

      Light and dark cannot exist in the same space. It’s physically impossible. Truth is efficient. You say it once and you are finished. A lie however requires a constant stream of follow up energy, money, murder, obfuscation and more lies to keep it covered.

      If this was true, the entire world would have been communist by 1850.

        what even is that metaphor

        like, are truths never forgotten, does night never fall? What about infrared? Clearly written by someone who’s never had to stumble around in the dark

    Capitalist economies never fail meanwhile. 1929, 2008 never happened and it was definitely not the Government that temporarily patched up the market failures.
