I swear, “Chinese collapse” has been on the news headlines since 2000s. At some point people need to give up on the idea that their system doesn’t work. Yes, it sucks from our perspective, because we would have less rights and freedom. But quality of life of an average Chinese has been increasing YoY, despite some hiccups. They obviously screw up big time (pandemic lockdowns, current above average youth unemployment), but they don’t mind pivoting hard. Baseless hate when a country fails to compete is just sad to watch as an outsider who has no skin in the game.
- cookiemonsieur 2y agoIt's a coping mechanism that needs to be parroted to keep the people in the west from questioning the status quo. "Look china/russia/iran/india bad ! Sure, we're not doing well and your quality of life is eroding year on year but hey ! In china you can't question tienanmen square so there's that" It's sad, but as long as people continue to believe in this mythology of "absolute freedom", it will continue to work.

- cookiemonsieur 2y agoA lot of people are moving to Russia China and India from non western nations that use to send their top talents to the EU/US.

- cookiemonsieur 2y agoex-pat meaning westerners right ? You do know the world doesn't revolve around the west ?
