@yogthos Wealth probably yes, but quality of life?

Yes, quality of life, have you seen any videos of what life is like in a modern Chinese city? It's like travelling to the future.

I spent several months in China and the quintessential Chinese experience was that everything looks great but in reality it is mostly broken, not built properly and causes pain.

Including city life and a rural village in the filth with constant stone dust in the air and a stench of mixed sewage with burning plastic from the rubbish pile almost constantly burning.

Talk it up as much as you like shill, the truth is far from a fairytale.

On the other hand, I certainly would rather not move to the USA.

On another note it's rather entertaining watching a Chinese shill propagandist try to denote USA shill propagandist materials. It's exactly a true life depiction of the spiderman meme with them all pointing blame at each other. Where, from the sidelines of reality the US and China seems to be just as bad as each other..
