    If it wasn't for Mao, the Chinese would've pioneered interstellar travel through the invention of the first starship capable of FTL travel where they would've found the fountain of youth in some distant galaxy, curing cancer in the process. Feel stupid yet tankie?

    Redditors are incredibly delusional. China has its flaws but being backwards is not one of them.

    The whole “stealing tech” used to be said about the Japanese too. I remember a Japanese woman talking about how she and her father went to some kind of tech expo in the early 70’s and some guy looked at them and said, “why should I show you anything? You people are just going to steal it anyway.”

      Also "stealing" tech is just kind of how countries develop. It was explicit US policy to steal European patents during industrialization. There's no reason there should be a global monopoly on some idea

    1. China had a 460million population and 33 year lifespan when the revolution began. It's current modern day living standards, population size and lifespan is a direct result of Mao.

    2. Harvard Study directly contradicts everything this user just said about Chinese not being able to think critically, in fact Harvard says the reason 95% of Chinese support the government is because they brought real material improvements consistently that they have all lived through.

    3. Claiming they can't innovate is just racism. They are leading the world in research papers.

      Many of us cannot attest to this because we have not lived it, but, if you go to China right now, and meet an old man in his 80's, they can tell you where they were at, materially speaking, back before and after the revolution, and how much their lives in 1 lifetime, have improved. These people are still alive to tell the world their story, which is the second greatest story of human development since the Soviet Union.

        Dude for sure only interacts with other sexpats, hates "the locals", but loves being a pest to Chinese women, and then gets mad when random women on the street don't treat him like a god like the ones at the designated sexpat bars.

    Dawg I do not know how you look at China in 2024 and don't think that they're literally kicking everyone's ass when it comes to innovation.

    You're going to want a different yardstick if you're trying to shit on China.

        Where is the bacon flavoured Doritos ranch dressing of china? How about some ranch infused kung Pao sauce? Truly an uncultured society where you don't have thousands of choices for which sauce goes on the chicken nuggies. If I cannot experience choice paralysis at the grocery over items that have no real discernible difference than what is the point of living?

          China has even more sauce choices. They have a whole other kind of spicy that most amerikkkrakkkers aren't even aware of.
