Well, 1-2% gdp growth is not real if you are a Chinese and see through your own eyes. Every year I feel people around me spend way more and buy way more than last year, even in small cities. China is a bit weird that I have to say there are

They are quickly phased out, even in Beijing. Most for flexibility I think. Beijing has several thousands of bus lines which pretty covers all major or semi major roads, some of them may use freeways also. Technically you can put overhead w

Democracy and prosperity are orthogonal concepts. I agree both of them are good but prosperity without democracy exist (China and in some sense Singapore) and democracy without prosperity also exists (everywhere).
