How much of China did you see? You could not gain a meaningful understanding of even a much smaller country from visiting a single city. E.g. NYC is not America

- gcatalfamo 7y agoI saw Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and collaterally, Hong Kong and it was for business. Yes there were things I saw that showed the inherent poorness of the population but the overwhelming power of the industrial ecosystem and overall progress of the country despite “zero privacy” was breathtaking. I have been talking with local about the privacy thing which was super interesting but it’s off topic here.
