I definitely agree that there’s a class component to the police, but then I don’t follow that police in China is the same as police in e.g. Europe or the USA, because the class character of the Chinese state is demonstrably different than that of the US France or Britain.
Unless you don’t believe that China is a DotP but the way you phrase your argument makes it to be a constant that applies to all states, so that’s what I have trouble understanding. If there’s a class component to the police, then it doesn’t follow that all states will also have the same class characteristic as each other. Otherwise there is no point in saying that there’s a class distinction to the police, it’s just the police.
This is the problem with dealing with anarchists, especially those from the west. They view all authority as bad because they cannot comprehend the idea that other countries governments may be different than their own.
The mere idea that Chinese law enforcement works for the people, and actually exists to serve and protect said people, is incomprehensible to them.
It’s as simple as that. “My only experience with law enforcement and government is bad thus all law enforcement and governments are bad.” Something something bedtimes.
