How is the US a model of anything? They admitted they tortured prisoners, they are sporting people for non violent protest, we have seen videos of Police attacking peaceful protestors in the USA, dumping people into Salvadorian max security without even a hearing!!
This has been going on in China since the CCP took power in 1949 and at a much larger scale.

They are heading in the right direction, The USA is heading in their direction. Then there is the murderous US Proxy Israhell. With a Buffon like Trump in power after senile imbecile like Biden, its hard to make the case that the US process of selecting a leader is better then CHina or Russia.

I can't speak about Russia as I have never lived there for any prolonged period of time. But are you kidding, China is going in the right direction? It is a country full of facades and shortcuts. Everything they are presenting to the outside world is fake. People have to look past the images they are portraying on western social media (which is banned in China btw), meanwhile more than half their population lives without clean running water, functional indoor toilets, indoor heating or plumbing, basically 0 social programs, etc (any images or videos that show this are almost always censored on Chinese social media like weibo, wechat, Xiaohongshu, etc.) Right now, they are ripping apart farmers crops, prohibiting them from growing fruits and forcing them to only grow grains and jailing those who don't comply or resist. Does this sound like a country that is going in the right direction? This is a country that gives out subsidies for companies to produce fentanyl precursors for export only and you're telling me that they aren't trying to poison the West on purpose. This is in direct retaliation for the century of humiliation.

For decades, the people of North America and Europe have been conditioned to believe that they live in an unrivaled utopia, while the rest of the world languishes in poverty and underdevelopment. This perception may have held some truth 30 or 40 years ago, but the global landscape has shifted dramatically. The world has evolved, and many in the West—preoccupied with their daily struggles to earn a living, remain largely disconnected from the reality unfolding beyond their borders.
In countries like China, entire cities have risen from the ground in the past 15 to 20 years, featuring cutting-edge infrastructure, modern amenities, and technological advancements that rival or even surpass those in Western nations. The narrative of Western superiority is no longer as absolute as it once was.
History is a cycle of rise and decline, where dominant civilizations eventually fade and new powers emerge. The Roman and Mongol empires once ruled vast territories but ultimately fell. The British Empire, which once controlled a quarter of the globe, is now a shadow of its former self. Similarly, the United States, long considered the world's leading superpower, faces increasing challenges as its global influence wanes. Meanwhile, China, which was the most advanced and powerful civilization a thousand years ago, is once again asserting itself on the world stage.

As history has shown, no empire remains at the top forever. The balance of power is always shifting, and the world is witnessing yet another transformation.

You really need to stop watching CCP sponsored propaganda videos. Many of these youtube travel vloggers are sponsored to go to China and "tell a China story well." Again it is an outward projection they want to show to the rest of the world, meanwhile hiding all the deficiencies at home.






My brothers and sisters deserve better than this

No country is without its flaws. China has emerged from its past and is rapidly advancing into the 21st century, while many other nations struggle with stagnation or decline. In contrast, poverty remains a persistent issue in the United States, where some rural communities still experience conditions reminiscent of an earlier era. Notably, many of the so-called "hillbillies" depicted in the film Deliverance were real inhabitants of remote areas just a few hours from Washington, D.C.

100% every country is flawed, every system has its defects. The differemce is in the US and the west we have some degree of media freedom to report on these deficiencies. In china you have none. There is absolutely no media freedom. It is all a curated message. As a result, the people who suffer have no voice. And i can personally tell you that there was amd still is a lot of suffering within the borders of China that they actively try to cover up and hide.

For example, china had a massive flood two years ago, bridges collapsed, Beijing diverted the flood away and other cities washed away, thousands trapped in subways or in their cars in tunnels. China reported a ridiculous number of 700 people dying, when it actuality it was more likely 10s of thousands. Their main concern was not to help but to cover it up as well as making propaganda videos of rescue efforts. Beyond the flashy infracstructure, the flood damage was amplified due to poor drainage (most of the drainage isnt even hooked up) and tofu dreg construction.

History shows that nations are not static in their economic standing. Some rise from poverty to prosperity, while others lose their prominence over time. Countries like South Korea, Singapore, and China have demonstrated remarkable economic transformations, moving from hardship to global influence through industrialization, technological advancements, and strategic economic policies. Similarly, nations like the United Arab Emirates and Ireland have leveraged resources, trade, and foreign investments to build strong, modern economies. However, not all once-prosperous nations have maintained their wealth. Argentina, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe, once economically strong, have suffered declines due to political instability, mismanagement, and economic crises. Even historically powerful nations like Spain and Greece have struggled with financial downturns after periods of great wealth. These shifts highlight the dynamic nature of global economics, wealth and prosperity are never guaranteed, and nations must continuously adapt to sustain their success. The British Empire is a shadow of its former self.

After World War II, Japan was in economic ruin and initially became known for producing cheap, low-quality goods, similar to the dollar store merchandise of the 1950s and 1960s. Recognizing the need for change, the Japanese government established regulatory agencies to oversee exports, pushing manufacturers to improve quality and innovate. This shift led to Japan becoming a global leader in high-quality electronics, automobiles, and precision engineering. China is following a similar trajectory. Once known for mass-producing inexpensive, low-end products, China is now focusing on high-value industries, producing world-class electronics, advanced technology, and premium brands like Canon and Nikon in cameras. As history has shown, nations that invest in quality and innovation can transform their economies, moving from low-cost manufacturing to global economic leadership.

I suggest you watch michael bentleys analysis of China's economy.

Imports from China have become pricier than it used to be.
If the end of China's rise also means end of rising price of
its goods then so be it. Canadians would also love to see
the 100% tariff on China-made EVs lifted. That would make
China a more welcomed trading partner.
