U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday called China a "ticking time bomb" because of its economic challenges and said the country was in trouble because of weak growth.

    In other words… it’s capitalism with Chinese characteristics.

      just insisting that you’re right doesn’t actually work

          Jesus Christ, I forgot that liberals literally don’t have ideological positions. They just repeat mantras until the big, scary rational people go away.

            Yeah, I completely thought up “capitalism with Chinese characteristics” on my own and totally didn’t just replace one word of a thought-terminating mantra invented by (supposedly) “big, scary rational” tankies at all.

            You got me, tankie - it’s all pure originality on my part.

              Let me see if I follow: “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics” was invented by the Communist Party of China who you’re claiming are “tankies”. You then claim that China is actually capitalist.

              So capitalists are tankies.

              Got it.

                Are capitalists tankies… or are tankies capitalists?

                My, my… what interesting ideological dilemmas you tankies wrestle with, eh?

      I guess you didn’t even bothered to check my link and where it leads to. Yes it leads to your favorite Wikipedia site: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism_with_Chinese_characteristics

        Oh, you don’t have to guess… I’ll tell you straight up that I won’t bother retreading well-known propaganda created by tankies.

        I’m already perfectly familiar with it - I just called it something a bit more honest… as in capitalism with Chinese characteristics.
