A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"core values of socialism"? Like reintroducing landleeches after they were outlawed? Like allowing the bourgeoise to own the means of production and exploit the over a billion working class Chinese people in horrible conditions? Using the profit motive to "incentivize entrepreneurship"?
China is the epitome of SINO, they're an authoritarian capitalist regime.
Crazy how people think they're communist when the state owns much of the means of production and has no interest in handing it over to the actual proletariat. It's state capitalism. They literally have the second highest number of billionaires in the world.
The CCP should do so first.
Will CCP also start following the core values of socialism now?
Maybe get your country to have a higher democracy index than china before criticizing them?

Whataboutism
Xi should be great at socialism, according to the paradise papers he's one of the richest people on the planet.
ChatCCP
Chatgpt already identified a socialist.
How much should I charge for this item?
I am sorry but as a socialist AI language model...
We'll know we've achieved AGI when the robots start engaging in leftist infighting.
Splitters!
Is the state ideologically consistent enough to train AI to follow its ideology?
China considers it self to be so as the Modern CPC follows Xi Jinping thought which is defined by wikipedia as:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xi_Jinping_Thought
"Xi Jinping Thought consists of a 14-point basic policy as follows:
Ensuring Communist Party of China leadership over all forms of work in China.
The Communist Party of China should take a people-centric approach for the public interest.
The continuation of "comprehensive deepening of reforms".
Adopting new science-based ideas for "innovative, coordinated, green, open and shared development".
Following "socialism with Chinese characteristics" with "people as the masters of the country".
Governing China with the Rule of Law.
"Practise socialist core values", including Marxism–Leninism and socialism with Chinese characteristics.
"Improving people's livelihood and well-being is the primary goal of development".
Coexist well with nature with "energy conservation and environmental protection" policies and "contribute to global ecological safety".
Strengthen the national security of China.
The Communist Party of China should have "absolute leadership over" China's People's Liberation Army.
Promoting the one country, two systems system for Hong Kong and Macau with a future of "complete national reunification" and to follow the One-China principle and 1992 Consensus for Taiwan.
Establish a common destiny between the Chinese people and other peoples around the world with a "peaceful international environment".
Improve party discipline in the Communist Party of China
In economic matters, Xi Jinping thought highlights the historical importance of state-owned enterprises."
