Tl;dr summary: Company lowered the wage of an employee after reassigning him to do lesser work as AI took over parts of his job, employee refuses to accept this, company fires him, court rules this was against the law from the moment the wage was lowered

Yes, it’s China. Yes, China has a lot of issues. Yes, companies will try their best to find other ways to get rid of employees. But this still is finally a W in regards to AI BS.

      Now consider that at LEAST 50% of the problems you know about China are exaggerated or outright made up, in order to fit the US State Department’s narrative.

      China has been kicking our ass for years and they don’t want you to know it because it makes all our greedy capital owners look bad and we might reject their ownership for better owners, or a better system.

      Police only exist to protect capital. The purpose of a system is what it does.

        Yeah, the Internet really exaggerated the social credit system.

        I remember one Reddit post way back in the day where they said in China they buried people alive in a train accident to “hide” the deaths from the media. It’s like, dude wtf are you talking about? People were eating it up though.

        People can exaggerate the evils of China sometimes but they most definitely are still capitalist

      It’s because they adhere to the idea that everyone who can be gainfully employed should be gainfully employed.

      People say China isn’t a real communist country but this is a byproduct of communist policy.

      Ikr? Being able to tell your manager “geez, you’re worse than China” just hits different.
