    If you can’t see that the west is failing then you need to start engaging with reality. China is running circles around you losers.

      While the West is certainly struggling I fail to see how China is the preferable alternative from a political perspective. Care to enlighten me as to why it is better for its citizens which must be the goal and purpose of government no?

        A socialist state that has

        • consistently decreased poverty in the country; lifting 800 million people out of poverty so far,

        • consistently increased homeownership rates; 90% right now,

        • and prioritizes worker interests over capitalist interests (the complete shutdown during the pandemic for example unlike many capitalist countries like the US, or the current refusal to bail out real estate developers, letting them go bankrupt)

        does indeed have the superior system yes.

        If you’re failing to see how China is preferable then you should spend the time educating yourself on what China has achieved instead of trolling here. Here’s one example that you can educate yourself on https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2022/04/01/lifting-800-million-people-out-of-poverty-new-report-looks-at-lessons-from-china-s-experience
