    • Too late, it's the Chinese century now.PhanLo
    • That's more or less the line the pro PRC side takes here..."resistance is futile" lolyuekit
    • But actually both sides had good speakers in this debate IMOyuekit
    • What worries me is that China is quite boring culturally. That might change in a few decades, but by then I'll hopefully be dead.PhanLo
    • Chill Chyna is fucked already
      They just keep trying to save face as all communists states do
      ********
    • Between water shortages, power outages, covid outbreaks, trying to contain the Evergrande and the construction industry's defaults at bay, cracking down on tech
      ********
    • not to mention macro issues like very low natality rates, human rights issues, power struggles in the party and so on and so forth

      Chyna is in very bad shape.

    • People try to criticize how China takes care of its people, but come from countries who in history and current events are no better.PioneerDJ303
    • China pulled its own people out of poverty whom 90% were all farmers. They've bailed out the US and other countries out of debt.PioneerDJ303
    • At this point the US and its allies are just trying to slow down China's progress with disregard for the Chinese people.PioneerDJ303
    • But you cannot blame them, because many countries can barely take care of their own with crime ridden streets, homeless, and poverty running rampant.PioneerDJ303
    • I think you have to put it in perspective, China saw amazing growth in the past decades but so did other Asian countries.yuekit
    • In terms of increasing living standards, China did about as well as Japan, but not as good as Singapore, Korea and Taiwan.yuekit
    • And all these countries are overall probably a nicer place to live than China today, in terms of infrastructure, environment, social welfare, workers rights.yuekit
    • Singapore, Korea, Taiwan are also overall probably nicer places to live than the US.PioneerDJ303
    • 200 years of native American genocide, the US is riddled with thieves, hate crimes, gang gun violencePioneerDJ303
    • Not to mention all the China haters are just racist, bigoted imperialists naturally.PioneerDJ303
    • Sure there is a lot of racism and fear mongering, but keep in mind many people in Asia and the developing world are also critical of the Chinese government.yuekit
    • @PioneerDJ303 LOL. oh man, there are 4 large shops with the exact same inventory in a 500m circle where my mother lives, they killed all the small businesses.
      ********
    • in the 2ks they systematically killed the textile industry while sending more and more people into the country.
      they haven't integrated in 20 years
      ********
    • and in the past 2 years they proposed grandiose projects (from railway lines to universities) just to get the country into more debt.
      ********
    • one of the nicest things is when Continental workers got fired for founding an union, they went on strike.
      ********
    • Lolz. It’s not exactly ‘bringing people out of poverty’ when you first have to exterminate up to 80 million people to get thereGnash
