In my experience, they seem a lot happier than those living in the "land of the free." Freedom is a conceptual thing, like, really, how free are you in the US? With that occupying force called "The Police" not to metnion the NSA, NSC, FBI, CIA, etc etc etc, etc etc., Not to mention if you are not white?
Whereas, my vast experiences in China, I could ask, What Police. What guns? Mass murders? What mass murders? Violent crime? What violent crime? Safety? Never ever, ever have I felt unsafe in China wherever and whenever I walked, and I can't even say that about my own country. +
Don't go dissing China, unless you have actually been there, otherwise you have only swallowed what your own Government wants you to think so as to promote their own agenda. Don't be a sheep, but being a sheep is mindless, easy. Then you just become the gullible most. Remember Weapons of Mass Destructions? Remember Xin Jiang? Same thing. Propaganda, so America can justify the slaughter of another couple of hundred thousand people.
America is afraid of China, not due to a physical threat, perhaps economically yes, but more so, that their system, CPC (Not as the West calls CCP) is perhaps more successful then the so call "democracy" that the last 12 months have made such a mockery of. Serious, you think the US democracy is worthy of promoting, with eg., the recent Republican laws enacted in Georgia.? Mind you, I am an Australian living in Australia, and my knowledge of the world, let alone American politics far outweighs 99% of the average American citizens knowledge of their own county.
It's a brand new world, and whilst you guys have been infighting, China has gone ahead with High Speed Rail (already done) 5G, Digital commerce, (try using cash in China now!) and a multitude of benefits that Chinese people now take for granted. Yes, they have pensions, superannuation, etc etc. The West is lagging behind.. But yet, none of you have been there hence none of you know just how backward the West truly is. Whilst you fight amongst yourselves, (Rep/Dem) China is going ahead in leaps and bounds, and your only answer is WAR. Gotta stop these commies being better than us.. Strange fact.. How can a Communist country have so may Billionaires? Duh? Like brain fart? And yet, you guys still fight and kill yourselves. It really seems that a One Party System can get things done better than the Rep vs Dem's. I heard a journalist the other day express an emotion that "the Chinese actually seem happy" Fuck me, the lot that I know, (my wife lectured there for 6 years,) are fucking doing better than I am. I only have one house, most have a couple, and business is booming. Forget Hong Kong as the Pearl of the Orient, HK is dull and drab and boring compared to any major tiered city in China. Shenzhen, (China's equivilent to Silicon Valley) on the other hand is a world beyond any other.. Open your eyes and do not belive what your Gov't wants you to believe, unless you want to think of yourself as being dumb. China is a go to destination and I am so grieving not being about to travel there It is a blast, and I don't even drink...
Regards Human Rights. Ask any Black American about Human Rights, and then give me any evidence of Genocide in Xin Jiang? Like anything.. Anything?? Please..
Imagine any other country being surrounded by American Missiles, like America has surrounded China. I have no respect for Amercia. How could I?
Below is a pic of a weeknight out in Chongqin. Reasonably sized city/municipality of 32 milion. Love it!
