      China: we are building out infrastructure because it is good for the people

      Lemmitors: no, that’s actually because they’re very authoritarian, building public infrastructure for public use is exactly what evil dictators do

        Reasonable people: no, it’s because it’s good for their people and economy, but that has no bearing on whether the country is authoritarian or not.

        China Good and China Bad are equally annoying opinions to me.

        I’d still choose to live in China over the USA any day though haha
