I didn't say nobody there is rotten. But what I do know is that people have been ejected from CPC and even jailed for far less, something that doesn't happen in the west. Having actual accountability is the difference.

you're drawing a very long bow there. I lived in the PRC for a long time and they had their fair share of issues like this to deal with; that said, white collar crime and sex crimes in general go largely unpunished in patriarchal cultures, so no surprise in either case.

It is now well documented that the west is ruled by pedos who are completely and utterly unaccountable. Meanwhile, the same cannot be said for CPC. Sure, there is corruption and crime in China, just like in every human society. But we see people actually being held accountable when crimes are discovered. That's the fucking difference.

ok mate... tell that to Dongguan

sure bud, people in China are regularly sentenced for corruption which never happens in the west. But some internet trolls says there's absolutely no difference between the two systems so it must be true.

again, drawing a long bow there. I said white collar crime and sex crimes go largely unpunished in patriarchal cultures; i stand by that, i feel it would be naive to think otherwise.

You made an assertion that's directly at odds with observed facts, and now you're doubling down on it based on feels. 🤣

mate, the criminal justice system in China oversees 17% of humanity; i would expect them to be posting regular arrests, as they do. You are implying a criticism I did not make

Dongguan

It's not the early 2000s anymore.

Ah then I misunderstood what you meant with “I definitely do not think that CPC officials are diddling kids”, sorry.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I definitely don't think it's a systemic problem in CPC given that there is plenty of evidence that CPC cleans house.
