I think the most ironic fact of the 21st century is that there are less than 20,000 naturalized citizens in China. Western leftists don't really have a good explanation for that one and it definitely leans into the fascist characterization.

How is that ironic or necessary? Why should they hand out citizenships, when work or resident permits will do?

And that's somehow fascist, as if the problem with fascist Italy or nazi Germany was that they didn't hand out citizenships?
