I do not have to stand by my government and a policy I do not support.
Yeah, like I said, you're here just to criticize everything, actually like a broke gambler. It's a sign of total ruin when one just wishes to cast gloom on others and has lost self-preservation.
Unlike China - we have real elections.
And unlike China, your country is in decline. There is no country with "real elections" that can rival China's growth. That's why we don't need or want "real elections."
There are no perfect societies. The incompetence of Western governments are beyond pale which you certainly agree with. We [the West] are losing against China because we as a collective have made wrong decisions for centuries. The United States is a huge reason why the West is falling. I´m a aware of the history of the Communist Party of China and all it´s achievements. I´m also impressed by Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and Vietnam. As white people have decided to commit suicide we can only hope that "yellow people" carry the human civilization forward.
If you're so aware then why did you ask why Chinese people went to the West to live? That question makes me think you have no background in the matter at all.
Statements about how China is economically stronger than the United States seem silly in the context that U.S. shocks administered, even indirectly, cause large changes in equity values in China, but the reverse is nowhere near true.
You know what shows that China is economically stronger than the US? (Other than America's slums, drug addiction, homeless rate, degrading infrastructure, high crime rate, imputed rent/expensive education+healthcare-inflated fake economy, etc...) The fact that America's trying to shock China with trade and tech wars while China just stays in its own lane and grows. If America was confident that its economy was stronger and on a more solid trajectory, it would outgrow China instead of wasting its efforts on sabotage. People who can win fairly don't resort to desperate underhanded tactics.
Imo people implicitly reveal this position when the United States is the lodestar among which everything is centered, the U.S. being ipso facto the gold standard and center of all attention. China is compared to the United States; the United States is not compared to China, and no other country is ever mentioned except in passim. The existing power structure implicitly reveals itself
I don't see this at all. If China is compared to the US, then the US is compare to China. It is equal and it is because China is the young lion and the US is the old lion; it's the center stage fight of the world.
Thought so, but it's getting boring, all the same mantra here about the growing economy as the world is laughing at China as company valuations are making lower extremes 4th year in a row and Chinese entrepreneurs are begging USA to spare them from blacklisting. It's a sad story for China because if you are weak and clueless your enemy feels it and becomes bolder.
If the West laughs at China, it's the kind of laugh someone spouts out as they feel insanity creep into their nerves from the frustration of repeated failures. America's not becoming bolder; it's becoming more desperate as it seeing China's economy and technology continue to grow despite all of America's best efforts at sabotage. It may be a sad story for Chinese companies that wanted to make money with American partners and suppliers but it's a beautiful story for the ones that wish to build a Chinese future cutting America and the West out.
If all these cities are so prosperous why are so many Chinese trying to settle in EU and USA? It's because they will have higher standard of living there.
No, it's because of the decades long dogma that the West is better. Despite everything in China being better now, higher tech, low crime rate, clean cities, all the good stuff that is crumbling in the West, it takes a long time before people realize that their dogma needs to change. And many Chinese people who come to America actually show disappointment at how "slummy'' their cities are. Despite this, the ones back home don't believe them and need to see for themselves.
I personally have Chinese friends who tell me how many people compete for a place in China, how difficult it is, low food and air quality, etc.
And I personally have American friends who went to China for business and realized that the US has fallen far far behind, something they would not have believed had they not seen it with their own eyes.
This might change but it depends on the direction in which China is steered and recently it's towards isolation ..
Well, don't want to be contaminated by these criminal hobo drug addict nations.
which reminds me of North Korea - during the 1950/1960 was doing better than South Korea but everyone can see what happened next with one man deciding everything policy.
False comparison. North Korea stood strong and South Korea took a knee to America. One's a starved wolf in the mountains and the other is a man's fat dog on a leash. It actually reminds me of India, which was ahead of China in 1950/1960 but everyone can see what happened next with their democracy vs China's "one man" rule.
