I live in Europe, other family members are in US, I think you should try one or two of these places and do what I said, I won't recommend you to go to Israel (it's desert, dangerous, women forces carrying automatic weapons on street, it's not funny, been there).

For example once drone/remote control robot technology moves further, we can just smuggle a camera into ancient sites that have obvious underground structures which have been blocked off and never officially been investigated. Here's an article from 2018 about the Amazonas discovery: Analysis of satellite images and drone footage has revealed an extensive, pre-Colombian settlement dating back to 1250‒1500 A.D. At their height, as many as one million people may have lived in these settlements, according to the study published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications. “Many parts of the Americas now thought of as pristine forest are really abandoned gardens,” Christopher Fisher, a Colorado State University archaeologist who was not associated with the study, told the Wall Street Journal. “When you are on the ground, you cannot really see the landscape. You need a bird’s-eye view.” The last part is kind of cringey because a lot of the "discoveries" we made recently and will make in the future which we "cannot really see" have year old youtube videos about them so in reality the ignorance has other causes.

Chairman Deng threw Mao’s ideology out the window. China is in many ways more capitalist than The West. That’s why China is the world’s biggest polluter. Party bosses and corrupt CEO’s rule China.

Nathan Denault A country of 5000 years that never seen a united country or its countrymen.A country that was plagued by invaders,diseases and corruption.A country of 5000 years has seen its best years under the CCP.This is a know fact.So basically you want Chinese people go back to traditional clothing and other things.Are you not aware that females never seen any type of rights in 5000 years until Mao changed that?Theirs many countries that copied each other and this isn’t a new concept.The Europeans copied China’s concept of warfare.Nazi scientists used Ancient Chinese methods of rockets to create the V1/V2 rockets.Yes Chinese leaders still bow and do traditional things but the progress of China is unprecedented than any country of the 21 century.Lifting more people of of poverty than the Europeans could even handle of their own.

I saw this clip a few years ago and when we visited my sons grandparents in Guiyang we drove there. Unfortunately it is closed to public now (someone said the government doesn't like to advertise undevelopedness...). A nice women lat us through the gate though and we could hike there. They are really friendly and happy about tourist that will buy a meal. A native speaker is a must though and you can't sleep there any more...

I don’t understand why they’re complaining about how hard it is for them since they had a chance to move but didn’t take it. He said in the city that it was too hot in the summer & too cold in the winter but at least there’s better access to food, jobs & schooling for his kids. Also he said he couldn’t get used to it, well that’s common in any moving situation especially if you’re moving from the quiet countryside, but eventually you get used to it, especially if it’s for the better.

I was with the Zapotec people in 1982 in south Mexico. They lived in adobe houses and no electricity or plumbing, but they I think were by far better off than in Mexico City. Nutrition wasn't all that great as they didn't grow vegetables, just corn and beans, but with a little help and not tons of chemical fertilizers they could have done great. I saw a video and it's depressing now to see a very big town there with sprawling growth. I still think the people at Zhongdong are better off in their amazing village close to nature and fresh air. The government could send medical aid and give them nutrition supplements and help them develop better agriculture that is not back-breaking labor and aid their building projects, let them live where they have grown.

[@ayutonk2127]
