Seems like USA is trying to be everything bad with china with none of the good parts
What good parts are there in China for the average citizen?
IDK their public transit and high speed trains seem pretty good. And they seem to actually be building high density, walkable housing (and it must be relatively affordable if some people can afford 2 or 3 places to live).
What ever happened to that Social Credit score
Seems to have been mostly projection. America is the one with the "social credit score" that is used to judge people's worth before most important transactions.
Umm not sure if you have been to China or actually know people from there, but no, public transportation isn't good everywhere (especially in rural regions), and housing absolutely isn't affordable, typically you need an entire families worth of income that goes to the son to afford a home, and on top of that, when you buy a home in China, you are given 70 year lease on the land, so not sure how many Americans would want that sort of thing. Great thinking of how things are far worse in other countries though.
