In fact, what I dislike most about modern China is the endless gleaming shopping malls full of the same (mostly Western) brands.
Isn't that the point the OP is making though? That China is full of western brands that seem to outcompete local brands, yet PRC propaganda keeps claiming the rest of the world is using the wrong economic model.
- nmfisher 6y agoThe comment I responded to was asking “what can Chinese people get in the West that they can’t get in China”. My point is that whatever it is, it’s not material goods. It’s something more ephemeral. Whether that’s democracy, creativity, or simply a slower pace of life due to not competing with 1 billion other people - who knows.
