As long as China and by extension socialism remain the evil boogieman, the Western ruling class will NEVER be threatened by the people they rule. That’s why they must make you think China is bad by any means. The West does anything? China is worse so you can’t complain. People will be walked into volcanos chanting “at least it’s not China!”
The instant people in the West stop pearl clutching about China (not even support them, not even not dislike them, just stop caring about a country half a world away and focus on how bad life in the West really is regardless of how well or poorly China is doing) is the instant the bourgoisie becomes endangered.

It’s incredible how effective this tactic is, especially given that most people in the west will never travel to China to see it for themselves.
