Look up a video in Shenzhen or Chongqing. Everything looks 2 decades out, and the giant crystal skyscrapers light up different colors. Sometimes the whole thing is a TV.

China surpassed USAmerica in GDP already, but it doesn’t look close to tied in development and advanced technologies.

The trains there go hundreds of miles in less than an hour, you could commute across the country every day.

Meanwhile in America the “middle class” is struggling to have some walls and a roof. Record debt and crumbling infrastructure. How is all of this ignored and not talked about everywhere?

    If you ever see something cool on Reddit In China the top comments will be some flavor of: -this is fake because China lies

    -if it’s real it’s secretly evil. That cool building is powered by 6.78quintillion victims of communism

    -its fake because China just like made it up. This is my favorite because… So what.
