“China bad. They built a train station.”
lol
Noooooo you can’t make poor rural areas less dependent on cars, it is not profitable!
“They’re doing the environment good but for all the wrong reasons. The unmitigated greed is dizzying.”
You build a high speed rail endpoint somewhere, and development will happen there. That’s what I always point out.
That’s why dense populations are always on rivers, because you can transport things along them easily. Trains are the same more or less.
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
A lot of posts on there are from English teachers in china giving advice to each other on how to take advantage of their students to sleep with them
I’m not going to praise Chinese bullet trains, for example. They’re nice but l’ve been to some really empty train stations in Xinjiang and Gansu that probably shouldn’t have been built.
The government hates its minorities so much they built high quality transportation for them to use whenever they feel like it, but they should be more efficient and abolish all of it because I don’t see any pictures of Uyghurs riding it
Lol their dad and my dad should hang out. My dad loves both Mao and Bill Clinton, in equal measure. He is literally a CPC party member (I assume expired but he still has his membership card) and is China’s biggest defender in the US, but he is also really proud of being an American. Like his dream is to have the two countries mutually agree to combine into one country.
As you can imagine the recent ratcheting up of tensions has really dampened his mood.
Also, one of his funnier crank opinions is that Portugal should have kept Macao becuase they bought it fair and square in the 16th century, but China should have invaded Hong Kong to show the British who’s boss.
our dads should all hang out because my dad is also kinda similar, but since we’re not american, he hates america with a passion
hes like a kinda right wing dengist with very reactionary views on many things but still supports China because he has to
he hero worships Deng and thinks that he was the one that saved China from madness with his market reforms
It’s so interesting the wide array of people that exist who fully accept China’s success but don’t understand the politics or economics at all
My dad loves every secretary general because China has been a constant rocketship for all of them and is neutral on the West because it was genuinely infinitely better when he immigrated but knows they’ve completely stalled since the 90s compared to China
My mom who’s family’s business and property got taken by Map loves Deng because she thinks he was a capitalist and hates Xi and current China for hurting capitalists again
The Britain tarnished the honor of China and must be destroyed, meanwhile my parents met at very lovely Portuguese couple on their European vacation and now the Portuguese are honorary Chinese.
Your dad would love https://www.reddit.com/r/US_China_Alliance
Theres people in there saying that China botched “its transition to capitalism” worse than Russia lol
Yea China’s economy is fked which is why they’re the biggest economy rn
They literally cannot say a single good thing about china to the extent they would rather deny reality lmao
They believe inframaterialism is real but also that’s bad because it means the hiveminded asians can succeed despite not following the rules.
If we post enough china will collapse in 20 hours videos maybe it manifest itself into reality
China is always and forever the image from the 1980s where polluted slums are advertised as the legacy of Communism.
I can’t believe the communists destroyed China like that. I’m sure China before 1949 was a thriving industrial powerhouse where everyone ate caviar and drank champagne!
The entire society twirled around fancy dance stage sets like in the cult propaganda treats!
