China is honestly light years ahead of the US. I live in one of the most expensive cities in the US and am here on vacation for a month traveling through China and it is insane how far ahead of us they are. From the high speed rail system that I have been using to go from city to city, the absolute cleanliness everywhere, no crime, no worry about getting pick pocketed/mugged, nice friendly people, no homelessness, no tent cities, affordable/cheap prices for food and basic necessities. Every little town I pass I the high speed line had massive construction going on from high density apartments to infrastructure. Honestly the only complaints I have is that the entire country is hot as balls right now and the food situation is a bit rough as a person who's both vegan and a somewhat picky eater, they only seem to have mainly Chinese food everywhere and as good as it is I need some variety in my diet and it is hard finding all vegan places as well.

I honestly I have now come to realize that the reason we are so strongly propagandized against China in the US is that it would break the average Americans brain if you saw how well they are living here compared to the absolute under-devoloped shit we put up with in the US.

Ask me any questions you have and I can also post pics if interested!

This reads a lot like Tucker Carlson's "they have shopping carts and fresh bread".
Btw, most of the listed positives apply to EU, too, for example, you just chose to compare it with the worst case scenario.

I've travelled to the EU a bunch and no it doesn't. There's not a single city in all of Europe (or the anglo world for that matter) that compared to the top tier Chinese cities.

Yes, the US. Are you not familiar? Practically unrestricted capitalism, where corporation run the show.

One critical thing to note is that this wealth has been built quite rapidly, as comparing China 25 years ago and China now feels almost ludicrous due to almost all observable metrics improving markedly. China has gone from being poorer than the poorest African nation per capita to an equivalent standard of living to Western Europe in many cities, which is a continent which was able to develop off the back of colonization that China did not employ.

Yeah, Europe used slaves from Africa and Asia, while China did this mostly using their own people as slaves. I'll admit, the former is marginally worse than the latter.

speech-r cracker

Silence colonizer, your people enslaved the people of China, any equivocation of that with their project of national liberation and national uplifting of common people is disgusting drivel that falls on deaf ears

Maybe. But definitely not a cracker. Or colonizer.
