      Nah. Having so much wealth that it doesn’t matter if the CCP makes flaunting illegal is an insane flex. They’ll start doing it even more.

      bad news, those who do rap in China are all technical secondary schools.

      I know that not all countries care about academic qualifications as much as China. Academic qualifications mean almost everything in Chinese, so this makes those who rap more funny because they have no academic both time . can you understand what i mean ?

    Funny how China gets criticised both for doing “communist” things and then for doing “not really communist” things. Seems like they get criticised regardless of what they do.

    You know what happens when an entire nation is exposed to luxurious lifestyles of an extremely wealthy minority?

    Revolution. Revolution happens.

    Chinese politicians know this fact too well, that’s why they’re trying to make rich people hide their wealth.
    I mean actually fixing the problem is out of the question, that would be communism.

      This is one of those laws where I fundamentally disagree with the state having the power to make laws like this because the power will be misused, but in this instance, I actually think the law seems fine? Its not just exposing actual luxurious lifestyles like you imply, its also people going into debt to fake a higher level of lifestyle than they actually live, and this self perpetuates through social media like a virus.

        If the government gave even a single shit about the poor, they would focus on banning wealth hoarding not wealth flaunting.
        But they don’t, so they aren’t.
        What they are doing is openly showing who they are and what they do care about (capitalists, on both counts), you not wanting to believe it is a different problem.

      That’s a weird combination of things to believe. It’s weird all together and every part of it is weird individually.

        I can explain to you ten thousand words to prove that China’s humanistic heritage has never changed since the Qin Dynasty.

        This is probably a consensus on the Chinese Internet.

        I was just joking when I said Renaissance, although it is not unreasonable.
