Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yeah, it's bad. There are fewer worker protections and unions are illegal.

Unions are illegal in a Communist state? That's hilariously ironic and sad.

There is one mega-union (the only permitted one) with officials appointed by the CCP. It's essentially a sham, like the non-CCP parties in Congress that are nominally a type of opposition but can never hold any real power.

And yes, it is ironic and sad. Nordic countries are more communist than China is. China doesn't even have truly free healthcare like Canada etc.

You see, it's not communism, but communism with Chinese ideals (therefore whatever the heck the CCP wants it to be)

It's not communist, it's just a nazi state with a different name.

All the rest applies, the racial bits, the cruelty and genocide, all of it.

No, I lie, the nazis didn't execute nearly as many of their own people, nor did they restrict reproduction in the same way.

Chinese Unions are a joke, it is common practice that union preventatives would trying to convince you to be more understanding of your boss.

It's a well known joke that the only reason Chinese Union exists is to prevent real unions to form (you want a worker union? but we already have one, go talk to them).
