Tips

register
Loaded vocabulary in PRC political and economic discourse. In Maoist analysis 小生产 (peasant household / artisan production) is contrasted with 生产 (dàshēngchǎn, large-scale socialized production) and seen as breeding 'capitalist tendencies' — hence Lenin's famous line about it 'spontaneously generating capitalism daily and hourly,' often cited in CCP economic theory.
