    • 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      grafician
    • Between water shortages, power outages, covid outbreaks, trying to contain the Evergrande and the construction industry's defaults at bay, cracking down on techgrafician
    • 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.      grafician
    • 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.sted
    • 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      sted
    • and in the past 2 years they proposed grandiose projects (from railway lines to universities) just to get the country into more debt.sted
    • one of the nicest things is when Continental workers got fired for founding an union, they went on strike.sted
    • Lolz. It’s not exactly ‘bringing people out of poverty’ when you first have to exterminate up to 80 million people to get thereGnash
