this guy doesn't even support china's policy and he will debunk all of this shit for you
youve got a lot of spunk for somebody who doesnt really know what they are talking about. China has 56 recognized and protected ethnic minority groups where scholars are creating alphabets for minority languages that had not been previously written as a way to preserve their languages. How many indigenous people in the US and Hawaii can even say that they speak their language after having had them systematically destroyed for decades?
Overall, we rate Ground News Least Biased based on publishing news stories from both sides of the political spectrum and appropriately labeling their bias. We also rate them mostly factual rather than High due to the use of poor sources that can publish false or misleading information; however, these news stories are typically reported by other credible media outlets meaning they most likely are factual.

he's probably referring to this https://thenextrecession.wordpress.com/2023/08/02/china-consumption-or-investment/
tldr chinas quarterly growth has slowed and liberal economists are claiming china's miracle is over. private sector investment has shrank 0.2% for the first time since data collection in 2005 but investment by state firms has expanded 8.1% in the same period. there's also a current global manufacturing recession. doesnt mean "its over" or whatever tf they're saying but interesting to note.
I do however prefer democracy (flawed it may be) to a more authoritarian system when it comes to changing systems for the better.
the issue is strictly this part of your ideology. "authoritarian" as it refers to liberal geopolitics is a completely frivolous word with absolutely no useful meaning. "authoritarianism" as a whole was invented to conflate nazi germany with the socialists they were attempting to genocide, while putting "non-authoritarian" US and UK on the other side of the scale. The US who's policy of manifest destiny provided inspiration to Hitler to do the same thing to the Soviet Union, and the UK - who at the time of 20 million+ soviets dying to end the nazis in 1943 - was creating the conditions for the Bengal Famine and doing nothing about it as "[Indians breed] like rabbits".
if you are really interested look into the system of soviets (worker committees) and soviet democracy worked. look into how the democracy of China works. look into how the democracy of Cuba works. in all of these countries the "authority" of the state is subject to a complex system of democracy in order to implement policies to the benefit of the poor and working masses.
interestingly enough, State And Revolution is an incredibly insightful reading on the historical development and understanding of the state, and was developed at the historical juncture where the contradictions and failures of social democracy were coming to the forefront of the discussion. its a really great read that I highly recommend regardless of political inclination, where any discussion on the nature of what the state is, where does it come from, and what is its purpose is inarguably incomplete without having read it first.
