They went from a colonized agrarian country emerging from a civil war to arguably the most developed country on the planet in only 76 years. That’s incredibly rapid progress. Britain has been capitalist for centuries and has been the world hegemonic empire for a good portion of that time, and yet is less developed. If your point is that going from an agrarian economy to where China is today in less than a century is slow growth, then I’d love to hear what passes your impossibly high standards.
China was a largely feudal county working its way out of brutal colonial exploitation - for which the exploiters have never paid reparations and still held on to Hong Kong for decades.
How long does it take to build productive forces and modernize while still subject to unequal exchange and general imperialism? That is a social and political question, so you tell me about where China was and what its path has been. How many other imoerialized countries jave eliminated absolute poverty, by the way? Not just taking decades to do it, but accomplish it at all.
The CCP got into power seventy-six years ago how long does it take to get into the next stage?
It’s gradually increasing, it doesn’t work in spurts or hard lines. There isn’t a “go to next stage” button on Xi’s desk.
Makes sense but seventy-six years is a really long time.
