Yeah, and the irony is that the American wealthy elite built up China and also gave them our technology. They saw the Chinese authoritarian/slave factory model as the one to implement around the world, so they lent their support to the Chinese govt.

I've spent considerable time traveling in China. Never once did I feel anything Communist about being there. You can go weeks, months without seeing any police or military. The cities are far better than US cities, the standard of living seems much higher than the US. Until you have been in that country long enough to not feel like a tourist, you can't understand that China is kicking America's butt in just about all catagories. I fully expect China's currency to become the default world currency replacing the US Dollar and America becoming a second class country. Bill is totally right, the US citizens are a silly people compared to the Chinese.

[@jojochau5950]

Thank you for your compliment! China still has a lot of problems such as high housing prices, rat race education system, weak medical system etc.. but nothing like Genocide or force labor. And It has made tremendous improvements in such a short time. I'm very proud of the Chinese government. As a Chinese now living in Europe, I feel that only those who have been to China or learning Chinese speak good things about China, while the ones who've never been to China always attack China or the Chinese government with misinformation and fake news they learned in social media. Nowadays there are more and more Chinese people returning back to China since we are quite disappointed in the western countries.

You know this IS the future that YOU wanted Bill! In the 1970s a mid 20s Donald Trump revitalized a failing NYC by organizing building and infrastructure projects. That's what launched him into high society in the first place. It appears to me he just wanted to do something similar for the whole country, and instead of supporting that, you were busy arguing for deliberately causing an economic failure just to get rid of the guy who actually wanted to fix all the stuff you are now complaining we aren't doing! We had ONE guy saying Chynah! Chynah Chynah! While the entire blue anon manufacturers of consent, such as yourself, were busy gaslighting and distracting us 24/7 about Russia. You think your precious Beijing Biden is going to push back against the new rising empire or fix any of this? No. YOU wanted this Bill, so don't pretend like you are the one spitting truth when this is the very failure you have been rooting for all along. You are part of the problem! Maybe instead of demanding to know when America was ever great and screaming about racism (that originates from YOUR party), you could have said: hey, we have a checkered past, but let's put that behind us and work to make the country great NOW! Obviously that's too much to ask from a snake such as yourself who only tells the truth when it's convenient.

How many millions did we spend at rump resorts over 4+ years? It all went in his pocket ya rube. The only infrastructure he built was a pointless wall that can be cut through with a sawsall, @ 20 million a mile. Both sides have issue that are dragging us down, but there were no huge campaigns to stop the publication of Dr. Seuss books, or un-gender Mr./Mrs. potato head, who on the hell cares about these things? I've never met anyone. There was a huge campaign however to funnel billions to trump friendly contractors for a pointless wall because a large portion of the population hates brown people. So both sides have issue, but one side has nazis and racists(your projection is bullshit BTW), so some people have to waste time fighting fascists instead of getting things done. So lets agree that cops should stop shooting black people in the back, Gay people are fine, women should have choices regarding their own bodies, your religion is yours and you have no right to force it on anyone else, and not all the money belongs to the people who already have most of it.

Alibaba's CEO got a ton of shit back then for posting stuff glorifying the insane grind that is 996. There was a real mass movement of young employees "lying flat" and doing the bare minimum in protest, especially as the hugely competitive labor market meant that even many with solid credentials ended up hard pressed to find decent jobs. The government didn't intervene and go give them "big problems", even though it likely could Oh, and the "suicide nets" story comes from Taiwan and honestly is probably just there for more general saftey purposes. You might also want to look at GDP PPP per capita and wealth inequality, and then factor in how there's plenty of expenses most Americans pretty much have to pay that are much more optional in China (one example being cars, on account of China having a great transit system. There's also how China has much higher home ownership rates, meaning less rentals per capita). These expenses stimulate the economy numbers by moving money around and therefore boost GDP while making the lives of the general populace worse. It's that classic joke about how breaking windows and paying to replace them boost the economy on paper while otherwise doing nothing. Going back to your slavery point, no. The USA, put it lightly, is hilariously inefficient when it comes to tons of stuff (like healthcare. The White House spends more per capita on healthcare than any other country on earth on worse results, likely due to those funds getting sucked up by the pharmaceuticals industry who also happen to spend more on lobbying than weapons manufacturers and oil companies put together). Bullshit Jobs by Graeber does a good job of illustrating the insane waste of people's time that is built into the economy, primarily at the service sector. This isn't nearly as big of a problem in an economy still dominated by actually making tangible things. Additionally, with the massive prison population, the hugely lopsided incarceration rates for POC, and how prison slave labor was actually enshrined in the constitution through the 13th amendment, you can't seriously state that slavery ended in the USA.

@@alcarmona7499 You give too much credit and conspiracy to our lawmakers. Political polarization has grinded us to a halt. The politicians just follow currents of the culture as dictated by influential mouthpieces like the Limbaughs, televangelists, and entertainment industry. Poisoning of our collective consciousness for profit. History will not be kind to the legacy of those assholes.

And that's why jts infrastructure building is so important. It's the number one thing needed to escape poverty and develop. But the West, to preserve its hegemony and the Global South's dependency on the IMF and World Bank (you know, real debt trappers) is working their damnedest to stop the Belt and Road Initiative, which China invited the US to take part, and demonize it. It's also why they want to destabilize Xinjiang and.....I'll stop there. TMI....hehehe 😬

I never used to agree with him on much but now he's making a lot of sense

[@augustus331]

The examples Bill brought up are actually the benefit of having a centralised dictatorial state. It can steer state-capital towards longer-term projects without having to compromise with special interests groups, opposition parties and the like. This is how China was always ruled and it enabled them to build the Great Wall. Nowadays, it enables them to build high-speed rail. America used to be the democratic nation that *could* get things done, but the present partisanship ruins everything.

[@cestmoi4252]

I don't think it is partisanship that ruins everything. because no matter who is in charge, policies are controlled by a few entities that pull all the strings...that's why all administrations would rather spend money on defense, wars, and financial bailouts of huge corporations rather than education and infrastructure. How else are they going to get richer and stay in power?.
