He was very adamant that this is the case, but he's not some dipshit who gets all his info from reactionary sources, so I'm wondering where he got that specific number from. Anyone heard of it? The "60 years behind" thing I mean?

This is a bizarre take. All you need to dispel this myth is to download Douyin and just watch Chinese TikToks for a few minutes. Talk to actual normal Chinese people. Go to Shanghai and tell me it's 60 years behind the West. Even in like, basic consumer electronics China is at parity or above the West in many instances. Using a Chinese fruit cleaning device or a soymilk machine is a far more "futuristic" experience than a Western toaster.
