If you want to know something about China vs the US, read the following article. However, don't get carried away by the clickbait title - it was chosen by New York Times' editorial board, not the author.
You can also read the following review of the article above:

One comment on that NYTimes article succintly put it in that the US system is now completely incapable of electing good leaders.
I remember when HBO's Chernobyl first came out and everyone was quick to throw in their black and white intrepretation that the show's themes only applied to so called authoritarian nations like China and Russia, rather than a democracy like the USA. And yet here we are, where one man's pride (seriously, the POTUS was not getting regular cancer checkups?) and a party's old guard completely devoted to supressing its young up and comers to maintain their cushy lifestyles has left the mantle of what is now, the world's former dominant superpower, in the hands of real life, old Sonny Corleone.
What Americans were blind to the fact, amidst their arguments of whether the American or Chinese systems of government was better, is no political system or Empire in this world can escape rot.
In China's history the rot occurred numerous times, but China has stood the test of time in constantly reinventing itself after a collapse cycle. America is in a rot phase and should be asking itself if it can do the same. I would say it still can, it still has many things going for it from its geography to its innovation and cultural hubs. What it should get used to though, is that from henceforth, the multipolar world has already begun. And 2025 is when it officially began, timestamp and archive it, there's nothing they can do to turn back the clock.

Haha, I still remember making a How it started, How its going meme back when XHS was the moment people started acknowledging China had become cool. Now I imagine with the flood of Western admissions to the fact, there'll be no shortage of much more creative memes highlighting this new reality.
Sidenote, I archived and read the article and am glad they mentioned MiHoYo. As much as I liked Black Myth Wukong, it was a little annoying seeing so many AAA snobs say that its the first cultural product to come out of China that actually mattered, when Genshin was far more innovative and 5 years later still has an international audience at least 5 times larger than WuKong's.
I thought SCMP is pro-China?
SCMP is pro-brat.
Seriously that is all they are.
If we wanted to know what a Chinese brat is like, then the roaches and SCMP are the role models.
Absolutely nothing. Speaking as Chinese Singaporean, many here have a perception of china that rooted in self-racism, arrogance and a strong belief that the ideology of the anglo sphere is superior to anything else in the world.
Many still believe that china is stuck in the 1980s, and that the mainland owes Singapore for helping with economic development and prosperity, using deng Xiaoping s visit to Singapore and the fact that many Chinese government officials came to SG to study from LKY. These two cases have led to Singaporeans developing a superiority complex against mainlanders.
And yes, like what many others say, Singapore media is at best neutral to china, most of the times it's usually negative, with copy-pasted articles and headlines from anglo media being passed off as local. I wouldn't listen too much on CNA or straits time when it comes to affairs in the mainland
