Like this isn’t just manufacturing. If you go to China if you visit the tier one and tier two cities they look and feel Like cities of the future. You can’t even compare with US cities. One Chinese friend of mine visiting Los Angeles told me he didn’t realize that los Angeles was the country side.
He says it because The country side of China is literally just like Los Angeles. He’s talking about the backwardness and level of tech and density of the population.
