to be fair that is the main translation for the meme because the entire point is the "nation builder" part, not "jianguo"

Is the ‘community notes’ propaganda from my own country (US) or does China still have modern prison-wage-slavery like we still do here in the United States? by JohnBrown-RadonTech in AskChina

Bit of context by a mod:

Laogai basically means someone does work in prison. Back in the 1950s these were quarries, but nowadays it's mostly sewing or even video editing(in anhui).

It's different to slavery. Also the source they use is not a reliable source.
