"western governments" ๐Ÿ˜‚ oh honey. Oligarchs live to acquire power in every government. You think China isn't run by wealthy friends of the powerful, who get sweet $$$ contracts and live really nice lives? You think any country is free from the absolute corruption of money?

    That's what the western owning class wants you to believe. That power itself is bad. As long as people believe that, they're completely powerless.

    But china is indeed run by the powerful: The powerful working class.

    The PRC is a socialist country, where public ownership is the principle aspect of the economy and the working classes control the state. Corruption exists, because contradictions exist, but this doesn't mean it's an impossible task to keep fighting corruption and purging corrupt officials.
