      Who holds the political power in China

      On executive level? Princelings.

      In the NPC? Worker representatives are 15% vs 50% in the 1970’s. So… bureaucrats and the princelings?

          This was pointed out to them before, they are repeating this dishonest framing because they’re a Polish nationalist. They pulled a quote from Marx talking about how bad the French state was and applied it to the USSR.
