Capitalism is so under control in China that they had to invent the anti-suicide netting for workplaces.

That's true innovation right there.

Wasn't that a Foxconn plant in Taiwan?

Not in Taiwan unless we're counting it as Shenzhen, West Taiwan.

That’s what I mean by saying it’s raw and pure, basically capital are free to squeeze workers; but they are not able to change the political order, eg jack ma had to give up control of his company when he tried to criticize those in power.

Not sure why I got these downvotes. People are upset when hearing some evil is good at being evil?

So Capitalists in China do what they want as long as they don't interfere with the dictatorship

Not what i would call "good regulation of Capitalism"

It reads that way esp with all the tankies on here but I don't think that's what they meant. Just that the leadership is good at not letting capitalism take their authoritarian power via money in spite of otherwise letting it run rampant. Which doesn't help the people at all but is remarkable in a way.
