China After 2050. BE PATIENT.


I was deeply disturbed about the first answer to this question regarding doubts about the CPC and the "future" of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics (SWCC). I think it places too much emphasis on what socialism ought to be, and not enough on the accomplishments it has already done for China.What cemented Xi Jingping's legacy with Mao and Deng is his 37-year-plan on how to modernize China's planned market economies and transition to a modern socialist society. Xi Jinping has set two goals called the "Two Centenaries." In it is preparing the following:1.) 2020-2035: Socialist modernization. Creating larger and sustainable capital to support socialist initiatives of the people.Xi described the period from 2020 through 2035 as a phase for the nation to realize modernized socialism and a time to expand the middle-class and narrow the wealth gap to create a more harmonious society.2.) 2035-2049: Transition to a modern socialist country.The period from 2035 to mid-century, on the other hand, will be spent building a great world power based on a fully modernized socialist society. He said Chinese citizens would live in a moderately prosperous society, while the nation itself moves toward a focal position in the world.https://ift.tt/2F9RpFU, these two goals are indeed crafting several five-year plans for the economy, investing heavily in tech, development, infrastructure, and other booming areas of the economy..For leftist to sayThere is currently no plan to return to a centrally planned economy or to eliminate exploitation.Is absolutely missing the progress already being made in these front and mischaracterizing China's communist future. Beyond the logical fact that there is already a plan that will take 37 years to make, we cannot expect China to talk about 2049 and beyond until they are ready to tackle the issues of 2012-2049. I believe this was a major problem with other socialist nations in the past. They rush too far into the future, rather than focusing on issues of the now. The USSR stated they can ABOLISH the dictatorship of the Proletariat after Stalin died was the beginning of the end for the Soviet Union.China signals it has no plans to give up its government-led economic model or weaken the role of its state-owned enterprises, a change the United States has stipulated as one of its key demands in the ongoing trade war - "Beijing [plans] to make the state economy stronger, better and bigger": https://ift.tt/358Pr3m say that China will not be on the socialistic pathway because there is no plan beyond 2050, is not looking on what has happened and what is going to happen between now and 2049:In his speech, Xi said that socialist modernization will have been basically realized by 2035.If this goal is reached, the CPC would turn socialist China into one of the world's richest and most powerful countries on earth -- the first time a Marxist party has achieved such a feat.Karl Marx, the 19th century German philosopher, believed socialism would create a better future beyond capitalism. More than a century after his death, the CPC is applying his theories in practice, albeit with Chinese characteristics, and leading the country from poverty to prosperity."When China enters the front ranks of nations, we shall not only have blazed a new path for the peoples of the third world but also -- and this is more important -- we shall have demonstrated to mankind that socialism is the only path that is superior to capitalism."The illusion that socialism is over is now dead in the water.https://ift.tt/35cW9Fx what about the billionaires and the workers?Open markets breed contradictions, there is no doubt about this. However, the CPC has done an excellent job both in their ideological discipline and structure to ensure progress for the people, over capital. Many are still equating Western billionaires are the same and non-Western. Billionaires in China are highly monitored and regulated, and workers have been reaping the rewards from a communist government as well. Eric Li, academic in China, has stated that under their centralized one-party state, the billionaires can NEVER rise above the politburo. But in capitalism, they do it all the time.Here are some more resources about the worker situation as well.The west views China as one big sweatshop, but the actual working hours aren't much more than anywhere else. The average for a migrant worker (most vulnerable to exploitation as they are traveling from the countryside) is 8.8 hours, little under an hour more than a typical working day. Labor strikes are rarely suppressed, there are many examples of workers on strike getting the support of the PRC. The Chinese state rules in favor of the workersWhy do Chinese billionaires keep ending up in prison?Wages themselves are also forced to rise in the private sector by the CPC (+16% every years, +400% since 1980) who force the capitalists to accept the presence of CPC chapters who represent the interest of the workers, increasing workers control even in the capitalist parts of the economy.The workplace safety standards of China are better than in the capitalist countries of the West like in Australia who have an higher rate of work related death despite having a GDP per capita 3-5 times higher.More debunking China's Western narrative sources hereSo for those leftists who want an answer on how China may look like in 2050: BE PATIENT. China is becoming the largest superpower under SWCC, and will continue its commitment to communism. As President Xi Jinping once said:The capitalist road was tried and found wanting. Reformism, liberalism, social Darwinism, anarchism, pragmatism, populism, syndicalism—they all were given their moment on the stage. They all failed to solve the problems of China’s future destiny. It is Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought that guided the Chinese people out of the darkness of that long night and established a New China; it is through socialism with Chinese characteristics that China has developed so quickly." via /r/communism https://ift.tt/2SBaF7k
