Democrats Drool Over China’s Communist Strongman

Media eulogies for Zhu Rongji expose the left’s lust for unchecked power dressed as reform.

Zhu Rongji’s death sparks waves of nostalgia from outlets that never tire of China’s “iron premier” who slashed bureaucracy and forced state firms into line. The same voices that branded Trump’s tariffs and deregulation as authoritarian threats now gush over a Chinese Communist who wielded far harsher tools to bend an economy. Democrats spent years inflating deficits and shielding green boondoggles while praising a regime that crushed dissent to hit GDP targets. Their selective admiration for strong leadership only appears when the leader wears red and targets private property in the name of the collective.

Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer rail against every Trump efficiency drive as cruelty, yet the same crowd mourns the loss of a Chinese official who fired officials and restructured industries without apology or Senate hearings. The pattern holds: rules for American voters, admiration for foreign authoritarians who deliver results their own policies never match. Facts remain stubborn...China’s rise under figures like Zhu relied on centralized force Democrats claim to reject until the target is the U.S. Constitution.

Shut your suck hole, Chuck Schumer.

Satire. But you knew that.
