Also even if you believe that the democratically elected leadership of China are a new distinct class, they are empirically not capitalists and empirically not violent on anywhere close to a comparable scale to capitalist leadership. Their politics are that of mutual cooperation and advancement because 1a) they understand imperial extraction is economically inefficient in the long term 1b) have sufficient control over the state and economy to prevent it 2) they need strong allies to protect themselves from imperialist encirclement and imperial powers keep trying to weaken the rest of the world
(I don't agree that the Chinese elected leadership constitute a new class, I'm just saying for the sake of talking to folks who do)
Here is a chart sourced from its its 2024 report. As you can see Chinese people have more faith in democracy and the democratic nature of their government than westerners do.
The whole brainwashing thing is nonsense, as Cowbee pointed out you misread the data on the 11 percent. It seems like you are misreading data to support your preconceived notions.
China is a democracy, even studies by conservative western institutions show Chinese people have higher satisfaction with their government, more belief in the importance of democracy, and more belief in the democratic nature of their government than western European and American citizens do for their own governments.
They have a more comprehensive democracy too. Consultative processes and deliberative processes are enshrined in institutions in a way that they are not within western bourgeois democracies.

A democratic state where the proletariat are in control owning the MoP fundamentally isn't capitalist, "state capitalist" or otherwise. Capitalism requires specific social relations that aren't met within socialized ownership.
Dear God, are you claiming that the proof for the three things I asked for proof for can only be found at this specific archive? Thay doesn't even make sense, how is proof of widespread government violence in order to prevent reunification found there? How is proof of extensive nuremburg-esque trials post-reunificstion found there?
"Whataboutism" being considered a logical fallacy was made up by an Irish Unionist (as in supporting Ireland being a British colony) because he didn't like it when people responded to "the irish resistance is violent" with "the British are magnitudes more violent and their violence wouldn't stop if the violent resistance stopped"
Consider understanding the historical context of a line of argumentation before using it.
