The Chinese government doesn't call them slaves, so in the eyes of liberals, they are not slaves. Liberals have been trained to believe that reality is whatever the liberal left says it is through their controlled corporate media.

What china is doing must be a social experiment to see how much they can control a bunch of people with a very flimsy reason

the experiment may be successful for the state but it create long term distrust for the state itself

in the long term, the more distrust is created, the more the power structure will crumble

what is the negative of all of the above ? it takes time (decades) and in the meantime it is pain for everybody

Yeah it's bizarre that china is doing all that just for that stupid flushit with 98% survival rate, it doesn't add up, it's not their style to jeopardize their entire economy just for what amounts to an exotic case of afluenza in the end, it's an excuse for something else, they couldn't care less about old people dying in droves in fact it would be a fucking relief regarding pensions and such

Now I'm convinced they're fully aware of what you stated about trust in the system, and yet they still insist on doubling down, so... So whatever is the real objective, the real intent, they've deemed worth the price to pay, and I wonder what that real objective could be...

Distrust and fear of the state became a permanent thing in China when Mao intentionally starved 40 million Chinese to death for his great Leap forward initiative. Chinese people exist to serve the state.

maybe

history does not repeat exctly the same, meaning that something that worked some time ago may not work now

the point being that current china may not accept a new "leap forward" so blindly like it did

we just have to live and see

Students protested for more freedom and were murdered in mass by the Chinese military in . The latest was chaining people into buildings and . The only difference here is they are locked in a factory and forced to work. There are no human rights in China.
