Isn't this claim born out to be false by the lack of a massive pedophile conspiracy in the Chinese government?

[-] Aljernon@lemmy.today -1 points 1 week ago

I'd imagine in a society like China with tight control of information and restrictions on criticism of government and officials, they're be many isolated incidents that would be swept under the rug like all scandals rather than warrant a specific conspiracy. But then it's hard to get a feel for where things are since the Chinese started using technology to clamp down on corruption by low level party officials.

Alright buddy, and I'd imagine that in a burger obsessed country like the United States everyone is secretly carrying 2-6 burgers on their person at all time in case of emergency. It's easy to just make up things.

No, actually, that sounds about right.

Are you suggesting China didn’t have a long well-earned reputation for corrupt low level party officials maintaining mistresses and enjoying luxuries far about their official pay?

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

That's a really far cry from "child trafficking ring conspiracy." How is it comparable at all that some Chinese city government people have had affairs with adult women, meanwhile a laundry list of many dozen heads of state, billionaires, international celebrities, and other important figures were conspiring in a child trafficking operation? I think you're reaching to find any reason to equate China with the worst elements of the West even when no evidence exists.

If you're going to invent a conspiracy theory to prove a point, perhaps the point itself is baseless?

No correlation

Corruption exists in socialism, sure. There's no such thing as a perfect system, and the PRC developed mechanisms to counteract corruption.
