Think of the worst, most dangerous, most wasteful, most corrupt practices you can imagine. The reality of what they do in China is going to be a million times worse and a million times bigger.
Putting this in c/Conspiracies because most of these practices are technically "illegal" in China, but are so completely widespread it makes them defacto sanctioned by the government. So it fits the textbook definition of a conspiracy, which is 2 or more people committing a crime together.
In this case it's an entire nation agreeing to commit crimes together. It's unreal.
Here are some of the more crazy videos.
Gutter oil and spit oil.

A wasteland of brand new discarded cars and ebikes produced for the sole purpose of some "big guy" getting 10%.

Want a good social credit system? Just be a snitching communist sycophant, and never complain about anything for any reason.

Ghost cities are the biggest ponzi scheme in human history, and the apartment owners have a financial incentive to make sure their apartments are vacant and not livable. (livable apartments have a lower value in their culture)

After watching a bunch of these videos the best way I can describe China is soul less and evil. Now, I'm an atheist that doesn't even believe in a "soul" in a religious context.
But I'm sure we can agree that a place with no art, no inventions, no social cohesion, no joy, no trust, where libraries are filled with fake books, where buildings are made with fake materials, and where food is fished out of the sewer counts as "soulless"
This is the society that is waiting for us if we let commies take over America.
yeah I think that other than you and a few other people most of us westerners do not realize just what condition China is in.
in addition to all the monstrous goat fuck that we are having stuffed down our throats in this completely crazy year, there is - if we had any more bandwidth - also the very real possibility of China completely fucking itself.
popcorn time.
Lol, I read, so I kinda have an idea what is happening over there. Of course, im sure its nothing like actually being there. Funny enough the great firewall of china prevents their citizens from openly talking to the rest of the world.
I think people are underestimating them though. They are not as inept as they want you to think. Basic art of war stuff here....
The Chinese have never won a war on their own against anyone other than other Chinese. Don't expect them to start soon.
