And some people still think that China is communist. Nah it's just capitalism with a different flavor. Same goes for Vietnam which recently joined some wacky ass organisation of a certain orange American neoimperialist.

The housing situation is notably better though. They've got some good ideas (also the high speed rail).

All (or a lot of) the apartments in cities are leased from the government for 99 years.

And so the prices are incredibly reasonable for an average living space. No greedy layers of middlemen trying to suck passive income out of you.

I'm sure there's examples of where it's bad, but from what I've seen, their housing situation is pretty enviable.

They have entire cities with empty houses if I remember correctly, and the ultra high speed rail is immensely inefficient as air resistance is raising in square proportionally to speed

I think building houses that will never be used as similar bad as to less housing..

China is what the US is turning into, except the US doesn't have any good infrastructure.

Trump is the shit version of Xi Jinping (literally).

Vietnam is just a Chinese work around for US tariffs.
