Every country has positives and negatives, you just listed the negatives.
Have you ever been to China recently?
The major cities there are 10 years ahead of the West. No one uses cash anymore in China. You use your mobile phone to pay for everything... even the street food vendor or mom and pop stores accept Alipay or WeChat Pay. Public transportation is clean and efficient; new stops (for subway) and new routes (high speed rail) are added monthly. The pace of innovation is amazing. The cities are super safe (cameras everywhere) and clean too (no homeless, no human feces, or needles on the streets like in SF).
- philwelch 8y agoThat's what they used to say about Stalinist Russia and the fascist states.
- caterlobnow 8y agoOh please. big tall building is not innovation nor sign of progress. Mobile phone payment? my credit card wipe takes 5 seconds. I don't need grandma to try to get my QR code for 30 seconds. AND it works most countries....except China. Foreigners can't even pay properly in China. Every country (except US) has great public transportation. Asian countries. European countries. It's not exclusive to China (unless you count kids peeing in the train) Cities are super safe and clean...where the tourists are. Why don't you try to go where normal people actually live.
