Made in China

"Democracy fits neither discipline nor the regulation of law, but comes from superstition and stupidity, and the consequence is large chaos." This phrase clearly illustrates the direction in which modern China is heading under the communist party, or actually the fresh Emperor of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping, who is the author of the above words. They say that in order to realize modern China and the strategy there you request to learn about their past and culture. After reading respective books and a two-week visit to the PRC, however, I am inactive far from saying that modern communism, which has settled there for good, is an evolutionary consequence of the centuries-old tradition of submission to power, making it the optimal arrangement for 1.4 billion presently surviving Chinese (as well as a model to follow for the remaining landowners). The Chinese authorities (rewriting the past of the country) propose that the adoption of the Communist strategy in China is in line with the people's will that they favour this process national characteristics of the citizens of the state of the measure, specified as industriousness, discipline, honesty or modesty, that it stems from the request to guarantee security, keep stableness of improvement and cultural unity. Their enemies object that the system's boom is simply a consequence of indoctrination and panic that has been subjected to Chinese forces in the 80 years since the end of planet War II.

Both are partially right, but the fact is that the strategy would not have survived the trial of time if it had not been accompanied by an increase in the standard of surviving of the citizens of the PRC, which has been tremendous in fresh decades. A abroad observer is hit by technological and infrastructure developments that exceed by a decade what we see in Europe. Even the backlog for environmental issues has been made up. It is now time for global events in Beijing to halt factories and traffic – present electrical cars dominate this movement and all free part of land in the cities is green. The scale of investment as well as the velocity of construction is awesome (this is the consequence of not only advanced method thought, large efficiency of management and human effort – there are no problems of a formal nature there, the land is 100 percent owned by the State, so the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people whose homes interfere with the road belt, or fast rail, the flood region of the fresh dam, or the Olympic town (as was the case in the capital in 2008) is not a major challenge for the party.

With specified an authoritarian, goal-oriented approach, it is not hard to compete in the economical war with the United States, due to the fact that the economical war with divided Europe must be spoken of in the past time – it ended with the Asian victory. all aspect of the state's operation is simply a well-thought-out and developed part of the puzzle: infrastructure, technological facilities, natural materials, manufacturing powers, disciplined and efficient labour, and above all thoroughly educated, specialized engineering and management staff (nothing strange, since children from early years are instilled in praise for work and learning - kindergartens are not only able to dress, but they do most of the manual work that would origin problems for Western teenagers. As for the further stages of education, the differences between the east and west are inactive deepening – this is well illustrated by the number of graduates of the best American universities whose immense percent are immigrants of Asian origin). For the Chinese, explanation is abstraction, everything is tested in practice. organization members and average citizens, men and women, adults and children, all have assigned tasks and know their place in the line. The Chinese became self-sufficient in virtually all field – from construction to motorization to hi-tech. Who else sees China as a maker of plastic toys should rapidly update the information. present the Chinese produce highly complex goods for the economy and individual client, from these budget to luxury. It is not essential to remind that present all citizen of the planet has something produced in China and these are things of more and better quality. Products flood the interior marketplace and any surplus is exported to the planet at prices not available to competition. With this free-market (at least one-sided) movement of goods, the flow of goods inactive focuses on ancient isolationism, ensuring the stableness of power and interior security, enabling a socio-economic pursuit of the West to be carried out, in which the Chinese, with their leadership, are highly effective.

This is the brighter side of the medal that tourists in China send a image of the oppressive system. A strategy in which the organization is simply a hegemon, a citizen working without remainder a humble servant, and technology an essential tool of power, facilitating control of the Chinese pier. A tool of control, indoctrination and cleaning, the word: keeping society in line. Looking at the lives of average citizens, of course, it is hard to see this yoke of authoritarian power. Propaganda and censorship do not interfere with the average functioning of society, although erstwhile you look at them better, they are seen unknown to us (read the unremembering communes of Europeans) absurd level - examples are the stacks of Xi Jinping's "Think" stacks, Mao Zedong's biography and another specified works, which make up most of the assortment.

The net in China is an island (actually the full global net is present a collection of islands, connected only by a network of ship information carriers, with the remark that these ships do not call to Chinese ports). The Chinese have their own browsers, social media, communicators. Western applications (those installed on our phones in China do not work) have their local counterparts, strictly controlled by the authorities. So for example, we have Baidu (Google), Weibo (Twitter), Wechat (Whatsapp), Alipay (Google Pay) and many another online tools that service them all day – again there is simply a seemingly no qualitative difference (although there is no encryption of private data, transactions, messages and so on – everything is available to the eyes of a large red panda). The same is actual in another areas of life. The Chinese can enjoy most of the civilian rights of European citizens – they have access to education and wellness services, they migrate from agrarian to cities (half-legally), they travel around the planet (in groups and under certain conditions), they can enjoy the benefits of modern technologies, they can feel safe (according to the different calculations on each of the 1.4 billion Chinese belong to 2 industrial cameras) operating in a unchangeable legal and social environment, they live on a comparatively advanced level, they can say their own lives – provided they work, sit quietly and do not enter the way of power, which in the dictatorship encounters any problems. The difference between us and them is that in democracy, power ignores the discontent of citizens, while in communism it crushes them in the bud.

Respect for the individual's rights in conflict with power is only symbolic. A citizen is entirely at her mercy, and this 1 is seldom gracious erstwhile it comes to questioning prevailing principles. The processes are moving smoothly, the penalties are severe. Most of the defendants are discredited in front of the household and society, and the forms of interrogation make it just a formality to admit any charges. The vulnerability of a organization equals civic death, regardless of the position. In this respect, there is the class equality Marks wanted. This equality does not include members of the highest organization structures and their red families who have become China's fresh elite, though they can't sleep peacefully. The communist power has it to itself that it is constantly anxious about its position, distrustful and rapidly reaching for drastic tools to reconstruct order, to strengthen its prime position, to reconstruct it through purgatory in the ranks. present you can gain designation of your companions, grow stronger and become rich, next day you can be considered a harmful element. In this regard, president Xi takes the example of his large predecessors Stalin and Mao fighting the real and delusional enemies (in the first years of his regulation 2 million organization members and respective tens of thousands of officials were accused and convicted of corruption, and thousands of traitors working with global spy nets were besides liquidated - how many innocents suffered during these actions we will never know, although their effectiveness is indisputable, even American services specified as the CIA confirm it).

If there was inactive a pro-democratic opposition movement in China in erstwhile decades, it was swept distant during the Covid-19 pandemic. Even Hong Kong, who after being incorporated into China for years ruled by another laws, was pacified and subordinate to Beijing. The 2008 Olympic Games were a groundbreaking event for plans to include the public with a universal surveillance programme, lock-down 2020-2022 allowed its full-scale implementation. During the pandemic, not only fresh method capabilities were tested, but besides limits of human endurance. The full state apparatus and all IT systems with their tremendous computing power were attached to this to “convince” each other, to identify and neutralize the points of inflammation and any manifestations of even individual resistance. present the Chinese are completely subordinate to the power of the nation, out of the dreams of political freedom, in the name of which in 1989 they undertook to fight the strategy – then the riots ended with the execution of hundreds of students, for decades destroying attempts to liberalize the country and creating the basis of a modern, stronger dictatorship present than ever.

I must say that my visit to China was a formal experience for me. I had the chance to feel, or only imagine, what the communist strategy was in our country and why millions of Poles decided to definitely reject it and go towards the strategy in which we live. A strategy of imperfect, abounding in various pathologies, increasingly ignoring the right to self-determination, but besides respecting the right to self-defence. The fact that in Poland it was possible to reject communism can be justified by the weakness of the USSR at that time, by the wind of change in Europe, our geopolitical situation and historical relations with Russia, the deficiency of conviction by the authorities in Moscow that it is possible to keep Poland in russian politics, and possibly another intellectual and sociological factors. In China, this process has failed, which was most likely besides influenced by these cultural factors. Not to mention Russia, its centre of power is yet in Europe. Russia was and is an expansive country, governed by a strong hand, power there happens to break the rights of the individual, drive the assembly by force, and impose repression on unruly citizens, all in the midst of intense propaganda. However, if I should compare the feelings of my 2 visits to Russia a fewer years ago and the feelings of this year's visit to China, in my opinion our neighbour is considered a democratic state. The Chinese authorities achieved what the russian Union failed to accomplish and what Russia later gave up long ago – an effort to incapacitate its citizens. In the cities of the PRC, the SCS programme is being tested to measure the social credibility of each citizen in the form of points whose quantity will find the position of each individual in society, with a number of consequences for this). Planning, consistency in action, sophisticated methods of breaking interior opposition in the performance of Chinese authorities can be an example and a origin for concern, all the more so that Chinese eyes are not directed only at the inside.

A thoughtful, far-sighted abroad policy, in which the Chinese usage the alleged "soft force" to enable them to become the No. 1 power, dictates the conditions of the remainder of the world. They have not yet shown their real strength, as Chief Xi says, the time has not yet come. That sounds beautiful suggestive. They do not engage in armed conflicts and call for peace, but they keep a 3 millionth army. As they say, they do not interfere in another countries' home policies and do not throw their problems at them, but together with all possible goods (including military technologies) send dangerous ideas and contradictory signals into the world, gaining more allies. It is said that the collapse of the USSR and communism in Poland in 1989 changed the face of Europe, but brutally suppressing the effort to overthrow it in China in the same year changed the face of the world, although the effects of this event have not yet full appeared to us. The ruthlessness of the state apparatus, the determination with which the organization pursues its objectives, gives them a immense economical and military advantage over democratic countries. possibly there is simply a question in the heads of many leaders in the world: would specified a strategy not be a remedy to our problems? specified democratic communism, version 2.0 – the last hotel for the failing states of the West and hope for the developing countries of the second and 3rd world. If you could convince him over a billion Chinese, what's that? Capitalistic prosperity combined with a government that allows to tame negative human tendencies. Prosperity in an different combination with clean streets on which you will not experience drug addicts and homeless. Discipline and control, peace, order and order, which politicians and average bread eaters dream of. This is about what China looks like - 1 can remainder there in the conviction that nothing will change next day – five-year plans, composition of government, legislation, customs. No subversive force, or subsequent elections, no fresh thought or fashion will put everything on the table tomorrow, leading to chaos and anxiety, as is the case in Europe, the United States and many another places.

Looking at how efficiently managed this State was afraid and at the same time I was admired. Modern, automated, you can say luxury communism, which at first glance is no different from capitalist democracy, although under this good packaging is the same old good communism that tramples shore conditions beyond the democratic strategy and for me too. I can't imagine surviving in the constant belief that I'm just a product of state standards, that my life means nothing, that I'm facing a dark prison or a bullet in the head for criticizing power. possibly democracy – or alternatively those behind its facade – is killing us in a 1000 more humanitarian ways, but their ability to fight or dispose of citizens' conscious rights is inactive very limited, and this is due to the democratic institutions that be here. While they are limping more and more, there is inactive a space to argue the pathology of democracy, a space to defy attempts to introduce camouflaged authoritarianism (as self-appointed adherents of the “New Order”) by conscious democrats who have not yet fallen into the regular of leading unreflexive existence (like millions for whom ignorance is simply a blessing, regardless of whether in specified a state of head their oppressive strategy or their own choice).
