In a recent video on Twitter, he compared the China of today to 2019 and was completely shocked at the speed to progress and change. Says it’s like stepping into the future.

1 - Automation: From trains to taxis to purchases - everything is done seamlessly with super Apple Pay.

2 - EV: 30%-40% of the cars are fully electric. You can get Teslas but you have Chinese brands that offer sedans for $10k.

3 - The air is much cleaner. Partly due to EVs.

4 - People are more respectful of societal norms. There is better service everywhere you go.

5 - Less foreigners, even in touristy areas. Most white people are actually Russian.

6 - In factories, robots do the work in contrast to the perception people have in the US of China just throwing cheap labor at every problem. Factories set up their own e-commerce platforms and sell directly on China’s TikTok.

7 - It feels like over the past 5 years, everything by in China just got better, while everything in the US just got worse.

    Chinese are jailed/imprisoned if they speak critically about Mao Zedong or Xi.

    They should have imprisoned Xi then because he was critical of Mao a couple of times. In fact, there was been something of a wave of criticism towards that time of chinese history that goes like "Maybe Mao did fucked up a few times". Other than that, this is common liberal bs. The "YOU CANNOT SPEAK BAD OF GREAT LEADER" is common filler for orientalism, especially because this shit is often compared to "western values" where you have shit TV programs making fun of the President, calling Bush a moron or orange man. Wow. Much criticism.

    Chinese children were taught Mt Everest is owned by China.

    Chinese children were taught Genghis Khan was Chinese.

    These are new ones. Who even cares about this?

    Beijing completely threw out the 50 year agreement they had with U.K. regarding Hong Kong.

    Oh no, the poor colonial power was ridiculed! (Based) What the fuck is the UK and what the fuck are they even doing in Hong Kong in the first place? Are you not aware?

    Want your driver's license without passing the exam? Bring the instructor.

    I assume you mean "bribe". And you just taught me bribes are a natural part of oriental societies. Well done.

    Beijing regularly hides images en masse such as Tank Man

    No they don't. I've just seen it yesterday.

    In China? Try Googling Tiananmen Massacre. Google and the massacre are both blocked.

    Reddit-esque talking point once again.

    Americans are taught we stole land, bribing is not common for average citizens, and everyone is critical of the government here.

    And so are the chinese. But I assume you never watched videos of common people confronting local government representatives directly and verbally during assemblies or meetings, accusing them of all kinds of shit: from corruption or inability to lead or solve issues of the local population. To think that the chinese are drones that are incapable of thought and are just to be led by the EVIL MAN AT THE TOP in a BIG BROTHER 1984 society is.. once again, orientalism. Meanwhile, the westerners are not like that, we're all self-critical (LMAO) and we hold our representatives accountable, this is why Bush is in jail, Trump is in jail and Biden was impeached over Genocide in Gaza and is awaiting trial for these crimes. Now wait a minute...

    Also you can't possibly talk about bribery in the US when the entire political system feeds on it. Oh I know you call that "lobbying", it's a less bad word.

    China outclassing the US every day produces gems like these. Liberals spewing shit, racism and orientalism because their crap empire is one day closer to meeting it's demise. It's desperation I say.
