You're aware it's a 1-party state, right? That's an awfully fine hair to split.
The people making that comment are talking about the government and the nation, not an ideology (which is barely even followed in practice, anyways).
- catalogia 6y agoDespite what the CCP would like you to believe, being ethnically Chinese is not synonymous with supporting the CCP, anymore than being ethnically Syrian makes you a supporter of Syria's Ba'athist Party. This is not a "fine hair to split." Whether these political organizations adhere to their own professed principles is completely irrelevant; neither do. Whether these political organizations tolerate opposition is completely irrelevant; neither do.
