- Income steadily grew once again. Whereas in the West real wages have fallen, in China in the last decade doubled.
If this is what "FAKE NUMBERS" and "TROUBLES" look like, then we live in some kind of different world from those Westoids. Now contrast the retarded headlines from post
#33,573, which this data here, and see why they will not only lose but also fully reverse back to the Dark Ages and their own century of humiliation with such ignorant and delusional mindsets. They are simply setting themselves up for epic failures and humiliations in this conflict by totally missing the true balance of power in reality, instead being in some theological fictional stagnant limbo.
