I don’t plan on giving another reply after this one. I just want to debunk them, and say they are dogmatic and unMarxist, as to not look like their arguments were too good, so that I could not defend myself on my own post.
Did you explain to them that industrialization is a material component of the base, which in turn changes the superstructure. These preparations from a feudal society to a capitalist society are the basis for creating a socialist society? In the case of China, the CPC is controlled by the people for now and has resisted bourgeoisie takeover so far. Do not forget that they have killed bankers that undermined the economic harmony unlike many other countries. The killinh of those bankers, pulling aside Jack Ma for a bit, and many other "authoritarian" things are all clear signs that the bourgeoisie is not in control of the country.
For Chinese loans to African countries there are fewer strings attached than the IMF and World bank loans . Look up the sources and site them to this fool. If they refuse to read the differences in contracts, that is on them.
If they don't want to have a conversation, that is on them. No investigation, no right to speak.
