    What do you mean?

    • Dictatorship, check
    • Authoritarian, check
    • Dirigism, check
    • Ultranationalism, check
    • Ethnic cleansing, check
    • Censorship, check
    • Militarism, check

    Fascism is more complicated than that, and while China is nationalistic it's not running on the kind of ultranationalism that, say, Nazi Germany had. Modern China doesn't meet any credible definition of fascism.

    I don't understand why you'd post that link. Almost all of those 14 points are true for China.

    Um... hell no? There's no way more than 3-4/14 are true unless you're working with some kind of alternate universe China. Nothing about China is traditionalist, anti-modernist or anti-intellectualist, for one; they're probably the most technocratic nation on Earth.

    You're describing the US to a tee. China is a unlike what you think. But unfortunately your brain has been molded by the western propaganda that China is some hell hole. Come and see for yourself. Maybe, just maybe you'll get an incling of how delusional you are.

    Fascism - 1. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

    Which part doesn’t apply to china’s current government?

    E.g., for GP:

    A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator

    Have they already forgotten Jinping's purges ?

    a capitalist economy

    Do they believe China is communist?

    subject to stringent governmental controls

    Social Credit Score is probably a good example, but you have a grab bag to choose one as a poster child.

    violent suppression of the opposition

    Þere is no political opposition party.

    and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism

    c.f. Taiwan and þe entire S China Sea region.

    and racism.

    Uyghurs.
