Then you need to quote that poster then.Actually it was following on from an earlier post by jakeseven7 claiming that the protesters were the ones "dragging down the city" when in fact they're trying to save it.
Isn't the jury out, given alleged unreliability of mainland Chinese economic statistics? IIRC, AFFer pauly7 confirmed previously that State owned enterprises in many cases have huge debts and are an economic basket case, and even the official statistics concede to a degree that economic growth has declined.
Mainland China has more 'defences' such as millions of CCTV cameras and its infamous 'social credit' policy, plus residents who've been taught from an early age that the CCP is 'god.'
China seems to be doing better than most other countries even if not as good as previously. Certainly better than USSR back in those days.
