A term taken from a Chinese proverb about opportunity in a crisis, ‘touching fish’ means being lazy at work – a philosophy China’s Generation Z workers increasingly embrace as a response to being underpaid and overworked.
Since things have been steadily improving for all of my life for China, and steadily worsening for the west, I'd like to say they are on the right track. Western socialism is so individualistic, you think mostly about one worker at a time, but that doesn't win you anything. As a collective things are getting better, as a collective things are getting done. Nothing is gained without sacrifice. At least with China that sacrifice has made things better for all instead of just a few capitalists. They still have capitalists, like Ma, but that kind of thing has it's uses too.
Perfect socialism/ communism only exists on paper.
