With upcoming US government it's starting to feel like the Chinese Communist party isn't all that bad in comparison. At least they aren't actively trying to kill future generations simply to protect big oil profits and to oppose democrats.
I wouldn't be surprised if China overtakes the US completely in science and technology with the way things are going.

- griffzhowl 2y agoHmm, on the other hand you could argue that China has been a centrally commanded dictatorship in one form or another for over 2000 years
- mcphage 2y agoIt has also collapsed several times in that span.
- griffzhowl 2y agoYes, but then replaced by another dictatorship
- mcphage 2y agoYep
- nojvek 2y agoIMO current US leadership isn't too far from a 'centrally commanded dictatorship'. Yes, China has many problems by their rise is exemplary. Especially in being the world's factory and having such a large export surplus. Their foray into dominating steel, high speed rail, solar panels, batteries, electronics e.t.c They seem to be making good bets on the future, while US is holding on their bets from the last century.
