Give me a break. I have been living in China and this man has no idea about what he is talking about. He is talking about pre-bubble China. People are comparing the official numbers of Governments on the West, like Covid expansion, economy growth, investment on R&D and so on with the Chinese's. But the Chinese numbers are just a lie. You just can not trust whatever numbers the Chinese give you. You can not trust any government in the West either but those governments have a democracy, journalists that can expose the truth or reality,competition and super super important, rule of Law. In the West you can expose what your government does bad by law. It is not perfect but orders of magnitude better than on China. For example journalists or scientists can investigate covid traceability, in China it is just officially forbidden. Belgium has one of the biggest official numbers on coronavirus deaths just because they lie less than other Governments like Spain that have actually bigger real numbers. And Chinese numbers are in another league. You just can not compare the numbers given by democratic governments with those of totalitarian regimes, because on paper they are fantastic, but in reality they are not true. In China everything is controlled by the CCP, including (specially) the statistics. People that have never lived there just can not comprehend how amazing are the structures that we have in the West(that took centuries to develop). We take those structures for granted and believe other countries have those and are playing with the same rules as we do, but they do not. China has lots of problems today, floods and covid had created havoc in the economy, much more than in the West. It is not easy to feed the enormous population they have. But you don't know about it because giving bad news about China is just forbidden. In fact China had censored Western articles about China(Do you want face masks? We are sorry but until you remove that and that person that criticizes China on your media you will not have face masks.) The population is growing older fast, they have less women than men because they abort girls and they can not do anything about that because abortion there is super easy. When the economy was booming everything was great. People lived a tough life but expected their children to life much better. When the bubble burst is completely different. The US has much brighter future than China. I say that as a European. People on USA have kids and they have much more resources because of the small population density.
