These kinds of maximalist statements you're making reek of the conservative "I got kicked out just for having a different opinion!"

Like yeah actually if the "anything bad" you say is the same Epstein empire propaganda bullshit meant to justify bombing shitloads of people -like they're doing right now- then those with a mind and soul will react poorly to that.

I've been studying Chinese for years and I've visited for a while too.

China is mid. It's impressive how they've advanced so quickly, but their working class is still under a lot of stress and the wealth disparity is grotesque like many countries. They've exchanged safety and security for freedom to criticize the powers that be.

I think they've gotten relatively lucky with Xi Jinping. He's clever and I think generally tries to do the right thing, but when he's gone I think China is likely to suffer under whoever replaces him.

It's just that compared to the US even the slimiest turd looks like gold at the moment.

Meanwhile, in reality, China has 96% home ownership rates.
