the ccp lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty has been one of the greatest human rights achievements in history (thanks deng, if china had remained maoist, it would probably still be an underdeveloped backwater today).
that being said, the party needs to fuck off with it's human rights abuses, and 'one china' policy. taiwan, macau, hk should remain independent, and it's china's imperialism is an embarrassment for a country whose rhetoric focuses heavily on anti-imperialism.
also, china isn't even communist, and hasn't been since deng. this is not a problem caused by communism, it is a problem caused by authoritarianism. you see similar abuses of chenyna by russia, or iraq in the early 2000s by the us. these sorts of abuses arise wherever militant empires rear their ugly head.
