(Serious) Why does the PRC ban labor unions? (hexbear.net)

Oh God, oh shit, I said I wasn't going to do it. I said I wasn't going to start a China struggle session. Already getting flashbacks to the Discord.

But something just doesn't sit right with me and wanted to get some clarification here...

My question is this: why does China ban labor organizing/unions?

Is this yikes/intentional/actually a good thing?

(Yeah, I do know that labor unions are not always unequivocally good and sometimes they act more like middle management than as representatives of the workers... but democratizing the workplace seems like a no-brainer for any socialist project.)

Thoughts?

The union movement in Poland in the 80s was co-opted by right wingers and foreign intelligence. Because of this failure, some alleged socialists think all unions are bad. I don't agree with everything here, but it's a decent summary.
