Mumbo jumbo? I’ve read the CPC’s latest five-year plan, and it seemed pretty clear and concrete to me. Anyone interested can do the same: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQEtwcbYa9hTqs7y...
Based on my research into China’s poverty alleviation program I can only say you’re completely misrepresenting it. It’s a wide-ranging effort that includes the CPC building infrastructure, hospitals, and schools in the far reaches of the country. Of course you’re right it’s something all Chinese people should be proud of.
The communist party doesn't lead.
Its political edicts are a complete mumbo jumbo. Tell me of a single sane person who can decipher any meaning from the phychomumbling of party heads on CCTV. Even CPC members themselves have barely any understanding what the hack their own party line is.
> which organizes the whole sphere of the economy to improve the overall standard of living.
The communist part did not organise anything, it literally been doing nothing except floating belly up on the water 20 years straight from 1990 to 2010, while Western money kept piling on them.
I will not deny that some state companies attained a level of commercial success, and that some select municipalities had moderately competent hired hands working for them. But this was hardly a result of any deliberate effort.
> China has eliminated absolute poverty whereas India is still struggling to provide basic food security.
You have to say it's Chinese people who eliminated the absolute poverty, and not the talking head only showing in a village for a few hours once a few weeks to deliver ideological sermons from a loudspeaker.
Saying the opposite would be an insult to ones intelligence when it's the party, and especially local party heads, which consistently keep rural people downtrodden.
