"cuz, y'know, China bad."
(lemmy.ml)
If, over the next 10 years, your country became more and more like China, would you go along with the changes? Would you have any problems with the transformation?
I really don't know what it's like in China because I've never been there. I know some people who are from China but they've never really talked about anything other than visiting their families. All I hear comes from the US propaganda machine, so I can't really have an informed opinion. This is probably how it should be for like 95% of Americans. We don't need to have an opinion about everything ffs.
- modern electricity grid quickly moving away from fossil fuels
- high speed train network
- cheap fresh produce
- affordable housing
- transitioning to socialism via the development of productive forces
- strong investment in education and R&D
- quickly advancing tech in almost every sector that matters
- people-directed governance that is not subservient to capital (foreign or domestic)
- very low crime
- ecological restoration that won't get cancelled by the next elected administration
- cheap and good quality healthcare
- bold long term vision and consistent achievement of it over time
objectively better than just about any other place
Your list should include pros and cons. Which is your country?
I wish my country became more like China over the next decade
They’ve been around, as a civilization, for over 5,000 years. I’d like to think you don’t make it that long without doing a thing or 2 right.

China is bad, just not nearly as bad as the US anymore.
You forget the part where they hear China is bad from their friends
