Hi, this is arguably the most insightful post I have seen this year. May I suggest that you repost this every year in its original form with whatever supplementary comments you wish to add?
Sure, good idea, probably I will talk to few CPC organizations within different companies, get some feedbacks and idea from them, and add it into the article.
This is a fascinating insight into Chinese working practices Neil that really does help ‘move beyond the slogans’ as you put it.
I wonder if you could take this analysis further sometime and do a piece on the extent to which Marxist principles are enacted through these relationships between business and the modern Chinese Communist Party
From my Western perspective I’ve always thought of Marxism and Communism as different sides of the same coin. But obviously it’s all too often just about trying to frame my own abstract thinking rather than dealing with concrete realities.
It would be insightful I think to hear your thoughts on the usefulness (or otherwise) of Marxist ideas in Chinese workplaces that have the mechanisms you described here, especially with regards to pay and working conditions.
Are workers more looked after under the Chinese system? Or is it more about personal sacrifice to the Party? Or are these framings just tropes in fact?
Marxism and communism as an ideology have already influenced parts of Chinese culture and the way the government works, especially how the Communist Party manages the country. So in reality, many people’s thinking is no longer the same as what Chinese people were like a hundred years ago.
I need sometime, I want to think about this carefully. I want to look at communism and Marxism from a cultural level, and see what kind of influence they have had on our culture, our traditional culture, and our way of doing things. This is a very deep discussion, there are many topics we can talk about. But I really appreciate your comment.
Your articles on China have really opened my eyes. It's obvious that China is nothing like we've been taught/told our whole lives. Im so glad I stumbled upon you on TicTok. 🙂
That first video was the one about America needing a revolution. I've shared that video a few times, now.
Thank you for this insight. It serves a useful purpose when explaining why China has developed as quickly as it has gotten to be the leader in so many aspects of day-to-day existence.

Big ups.

thank you Terri!! I think more communication like this will better the relation of the people between two countries!
I think so, too.

And why the US trails in comparison.
Fascinating! Thanks for writing this up.
