You don’t have to be authoritarian to accomplish these things. Even the US built some truly amazing infrastructure very quickly following WW2. They just chose to make it all car based. It was impressive from an engineering perspective, but not very smart
You say the US is also bad yet you reiterate the state & media’s talking points and propaganda. You’re doing the CIA’s work for free.
allowed to say how much our country sucks
Since the PRC has whole process democracy people are able to criticize the government and policies in a way that can lead to a better progression of socialism. The framework is democratic centralism, or “freedom of discussion, unity of action.” Now criticisms from reactionaries, capitalists, or foreign influences by the CIA, need to be suppressed since they don’t benefit society or improve human development. The PRC does have surveillance, but it mostly aimed at keeping businesses/capital and forces that wish to destabilize it from inside or out checked, here’s an intro to the Social Credit System. Also fun fact the population of China actually has a higher perception of democracy:
far more human rights violations
The PRC is busy building actual democracy as stated above, lifting 700+ million people out of poverty, helping rebuild and develop the Global South, is far ahead in having social rights with free (or way cheaper) healthcare, education, and housing all while leading the world in renewable energy. The imperial core is busy causing endless wars, looting raw materials and resources from “undeveloped” countries, killing millions, bombing countries to hell, sponsoring an actual genocide and apartheid in Palestine, has the largest incarnation and homelessness percentages in the world, drives people into poverty as material conditions get worse, and has the most expensive and backwards healthcare system all while censoring and attacking those who speak against them.
Is China perfect, no, but it is leagues above any country you perceive as a beacon of “freedom.”

All governments are authoritarian its just China is controlled by the working class in service of the working class so better trains get built.

If you’d like to challenge your bias (which I’d recommend) here’s an overview on the PRC and an article that highlights their whole-process democracy.
But china is bad and so is the US. I know lemmy is tanks as fuck but let’s not treat China the same way Republicans treat the us.
I agree with you that the US is bad (and going further the entire imperial core), but why do you think China is bad?
Because we are allowed to say how much our country sucks and china has far more human rights violations.

Holy shit dude. Your patronizing tone is sooooo hot. You just might convince me to hop off this Trotsky dick.
And your first comment wasn’t patronizing? Trotsky dick can’t be that good, just ask Frida.
You can down vote them all you want but thats what China and their only political party base nearly all policy decisions on.
Would be nice if America would refocus on the working class rather than billionaires.
Tankie you for your opinion!
You aimed to be derogatory, but you missed.
