It's easy to forget because they actually built an incredibly vibrant capitalist economy.

They build an incredibly vibrant _market_ economy with no property rights and very little due process.
Imagine if Musk was disappeared during the Biden presidency into a diversity camp and came out looking like Dr. Frank-N-Furter and instituted mandatory LGBT struggle sessions at twitter.
This is what they did to Jack Ma: https://www.forbes.com/sites/georgecalhoun/2021/06/24/what-r...
do you ever get tired of making up scenarios to be scared about lgbt people?
Are you able to hold a hypothetical in your mind?

The point was being made that a billionaire figurehead drastically changed their views after an "indeterminate time" detained by national authorities.
IE what if Musk suddenly behaved in such a manner after being detained by a Biden administration. Wouldn't that be profoundly weird?!?
And yet, it happened to Jack Ma under the CCP.
But instead, you try to link the "weird behaviour" with the GP instead of the hypothetical Musk - whom this is fitting for.

Ironically, there is a rich history of mandatory anti-gay camps in the United States, while there are zero instances of mandatory diversity/LGBT camps.
How does such a place not become a hook up camp? Even with total surveillance there the victims can like change phone number I guess.
You sure have a way of making the Chinese system sound even more appealing.
It's all fun and games when the oppression is against your enemies. The problem is, if the system is set up like that eventually it'll be your turn.
