Luke in China

I finally made the choice that I won't be political in my Twitter feed due to many outside circumstances between those I follow, the implications of what is said in Twitter, and the future of Twitter. Only game analysis and news. Maybe comedy with friends.

Appreciate the personal attacks. The thing is, living here every day, what I actually see is a system where private enterprise, foreign brands, profit motives, and market competition are everywhere — exactly what people here and the government call 'socialism with Chinese characteristics.' I'm not the one redefining their system; I just know what's really happening here instead of what people with agendas tell me.

You are literally retarded. You're telling the Communist Party of China they're all wrong, over a billion Chinese people they're all wrong. YOU know their ideology better and actually the Communist Party are super secretly anti-communists and have "capitalistic values." This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. I'm not kidding. I can't believe a grown man can think something so stupid. I'm seriously in shock. Rather than think "Huh, maybe they lied to me about what Communism is, because I'm here in a Communist country and it's not what the retards back in America told me it was." It's "Nope, the Communist Party of China are super secretly ANTI-Communists!" That is a wild ignorance/ego combo, son.

You know... a lot of people believe the elites when they tell them capitalism is the most efficient system there is. They ignore Communist China. Or, for some bizarre reason, turn into leftists from 30 years ago and say it's "not real communism." Which is weird. But more importantly, they ignore basic facts. Right now, we produce more than enough food to feed the entire world. We have far more than enough for no one to go hungry. So how is it a better and more efficient way of doing things to allow so many to die or go hungry, when we are capable of feeding them all? The problem is not our ability to produce. It is the way we produce to enrich elites at the expense of everyone else. I don't know about you, reading this. But I am an American patriot. And it drives me crazy to walk down the street and see my fellow Americans impoverished and overweight, victims of the chemical-filled slop that mega-conglomerates are allowed to call "food" and sell to them. Especially when we have the capacity to produce good, healthy, nutritious food and the capacity to get it to everyone, but simply don't because we use outdated methods, have outdated politics, and outdated ideologies. If you're an American and you don't care about your fellow Americans, then you're not a patriot. You're a toady of the Epstein class - you just don't know it.

@serpentza Works at the College, so they must have pushed a nice hongbao. I was lucky enough just to do commercials for the school promotion, never propaganda.

Where on earth does the CCP dig up these shills?

@ShangguanJiewen This is Guomao, the richest area of Beijing.

Relax, and take a very brief tour of Beijing by car. 👇

@khrachvik Sorry I'm too pragmatic about this and have seen the great things China has done with capitalistic values these 15+ years working here. But stay comfy in your strange ideology. 加油。

@GameAddict You should have gone to school there. You wouldn't be saying things that are this retarded.

@khrachvik No I just live in it and see the realities being here rather than live off theories of what they hope to happen.

@GameAddict Hahahaa. Yeah. You know their theory and system better than the Communist Party of China does. It's wild how egomaniacal you retards are.

@khrachvik Sorry I need to spell it out. China is socialist with Chinese characteristics (aka capitalism). This is why they accepted capitalistic Japanese and American brands to enter the country. Or at least my rich Chinese friends with an iPhone and driving a Tesla tell me.

@GameAddict So... Communism is when there's no fast food?

@khrachvik Would say papa John's, but they closed down. But the Domino's Pizza still fights on.

@khrachvik Hard to call China communist when I have choose between coke or Pepsi at the 7-11 before getting dinner at pizza hut, McDonald's, taco bell, KFC, burger king, Chili's, shake shack, TGI Fridays, or subway for dinner. All 5km away from me.

@real_insight_1 Hey let me ask you @grok, is it true nongs can't study in cities and stay in rural areas only or he over simplifying this?

How do the Chinese still dare to lie? The Household Class System (Hukou) is real. Rural people (Nongs) cannot study in cities, they must stick to the low quality options in rural areas. An individual's social status and choices are determined by birth - that's exactly the definition of "Caste".

@cgtnamerica Been there, the selection is not as good as I hoped, and there aren't always great sales. But they are opening everywhere and even in the smallest of cities, so it's fun seeing people watch me there, asking why I'm in their city.

The snack supermarket is a growing trend in China, but as CGTN's Alasdair Baverstock finds out, tastes differ around the world. Which snack would you like to try?

@hazard_ede7461 @aslicheen I defend honesty. Just find honest things to attack China on if that's what you want to do. I won't hate if they are true.

@GameAddict @aslicheen I have seen this exact Tactics from other chinese who claim to hate CCP but come to defend all their horrible things in Indian timeline. CCP hates u still u defend its castism that doesn't make sense

You must have heard of the household caste system of china, where people are restricted to their birth place but have you heard about the social media caste system of china? Low caste rural chinese have different apps & they can't access high caste chinese apps.

@hazard_ede7461 @aslicheen You haven't read my replies. I'm an equal opportunity person. Some CCP bots hate me too.

@GameAddict @aslicheen You just giving more unmatched excuses and keep exposing yourself confirming doubts which just rumors & even worse twitter ban in china yet you chinese CCP bots here to defend CCP lot.

@hazard_ede7461 @aslicheen YouTube is banned for everyone. Why VPN are used. If you want to talk about lack of free speech, it's a much better argument than faux caste system discussions as it has much more weight and truth to it.

@GameAddict @aslicheen Just wondering in a same country and place same youtube isn't access by rural PPL but different app. I have never seen it. U r giving example of usa physical store. Right comparison would be if usa don't allow to village PPL to entre in that store. That would term usa as gulag.

@hazard_ede7461 @aslicheen It's a business strategy. Either focus directly on more rich areas or spread evenly towards ruraral areas. USA has done similar work with Dollar Tree and Dollar General, focusing on more rural areas compared to Target or other large retail supermarkets.

@GameAddict @aslicheen You literally confirmed his theory who does that ? Never seen in india companies restricting village people within same countries.

@somethinganache @aslicheen Same items are also available on JD.com or Taobao. TEMU is also owned by Pinduoduo and sells similar items to the west. They just found a niche of selective products.

@GameAddict @aslicheen You’re lying. It’s extremely obvious that certain apps exist to only cater to rural folk. Pinduoduo only exists to scam poor people by selling them low quality items. It’s not just about cities and villages preferring different “gaming apps”.

@aslicheen Come here and I'll show you around. There is more discrimination based on ethnic groups rather than your Hukou argument. I'd rather place discussions on that then something most Chinese people don't discriminate about.

@GameAddict Luke I think it will do you good, that you don't go around whitewashing blatant discrimination, trying to cover it.

@AgentSaffron There are legitimate issues in China, but I have thought that attacking them this week with a poorly thought-out opinion has been more detrimental than beneficial for these accounts.

Muted all the Chinese caste system tweets. Retaliate against Han supremacists all you want.. I just don't want to see low IQ Engagement drivel

@aslicheen As someone living in China for most, if not all, of the app development era, the only issue I ever had was not having a Chinese ID for some apps. I wish you'd be more responsible in your responses and do more research.

@GameAddict Yes low caste rural chinese have different apps than rich high caste chinese. We know. Also it's not mixed. They can't access the high caste apps.

Not really. And you can move your hukou from the city to the rural area. It was just a way to hold people in certain locations, but the idea that you were a lesser Chinese has never really been the case I see living here. The good news is they are lowering restrictions so Hukou movements is easier. But I do wish it was abolished.

It’s not a fake Chinese Caste System It’s a Caste System developed under Chinese Communist Party. CCP obsession with presenting China as 50 years ahead of the world is all a hoax! The lower caste are really struggling everyday for basic needs in China!
