The propagandised idea that living in China means living under an oppressive communist regime, runs counter to the countries wild success at pretty much everything it does.
- landedgentry 3mo agoI don't think success directly translates into high trust. I think of China as a hypercompetitive place, which to me should mean lower trust.
- perpetuallunch 3mo agoExplain why hyper competitiveness should mean lower trust? Doesn’t competition imply rule and order? The other direction is merely organised crime, which tends to have very few big players.
- GlacierFox 3mo ago"Doesn’t competition imply rule and order?" What? No, how have you formulated that?
- archagon 3mo agoHey, remember Naomi Wu? She used to post a lot here. I wonder whatever happened to her?
