i would describe both liberals and republicans generally as neoliberal capitalists

and the chinese as... whatever xi said. socialism with chinese characteristics. dengism. state-driven centrally planned capitalism with a socialist coat of paint. liberal insofar as some outgroups get rights but not others. women may have some rights in china but i imagine it's tough to be gay. no idea about trans folks in china. ive never set foot in china.

most of the few things i know about china are the things that led to the days of mao, not what happened afterwards. i see people saying "actually The Great Leap Forward was good" and i know i'm talking with a large baby

Ok fine we can digress!

Is China a republic and are planned economies >le good?

i don't think so and not at the scale of an entire nation the size of china. i gather they're brutal to a lot of workers. even if they capitalismed a huge chunk of people out of poverty, exploitation of wage labor is still... exploitative. and pollution. and there's the imperialism to boot, just like america.

china's a special boy because they have a lot in common with america and we all know it and nobody wants to acknowledge it.

social credit scores? fuck i never even consented to equifax, experian, and the other one getting my data for my actual credit score

Small scale can work I guess, but not at a 1.3 billion population scale
