Western countries, American in particular, are very short term minded. China knows not to aggravate the very same people that give them consent and social contract to be in power in the first place.
Absolutely. $ today, fuck tomorrow. I was around for the outsourcing crazy 20 years ago. Cheap code but unmaintainable. When the time came to fix or upgrade the code and mahogony row was told it would be cheaper to completely rewrite the shit code than fix it, they all wondered why. Sure ai can write code, but it’s shit. Jr level on a good day. Wait till it has to be maintained or upgraded. Of course they will probably just get ai to write new shit code. The “less for you is more for me” mentality of this country (US) just pisses me off no end. When the 2% has all the money and the rest of us are dead then they find out that money is worthless… maybe they’ll wake the fuck up…. But i doubt it.
The meme in the cave where they're like, "Sure the world was destroyed but for a while we made great returns for shareholders."
The CCP knows that if the public ever became interested in politics, they would be kicked out of power. So they do everything they can to make sure that they have no need to become interested.
Where did you learn that the Chinese people are not interested in politics?
Also, no need to answer, I can tell by your use of CCP that you don’t actually know anything about China. (It’s CPC- the Communist Party of China.)

Did you know the US's actual abbreviation is "USA"? Yet nobody says that saying "US" means you know nothing about the USA.
CCP is the CIA term.
And that’s a bad analogy, it would be like insisting the USA is the AUS.
