    china has alot of internal problems that they dont let the news get out, its not all fine and dandy in there either.

    significant portion of thier youths have alot of tech/ or stem jobs but are unemployed, plus the increasing HCol and thier population problem too.

      China: “We’re revolutionizing mass transit for 1.4B people”

      America: “Okay, but they still have a lot of problems”

      Yes, I’m pretty sure we’re all aware. Meanwhile over there in the US students with similar degrees can’t get a job they’re qualified for and need to dirk two jobs just to survive on the bare minimum.

      So… The same, I guess?

      And are you going to mention all the problems in the US now too? It’s not all fine and dandy here. China has plenty of problems just like any state. No one said otherwise.

          Is that what they were doing with this post? I mean, it’s good to look to as an example for doing infrastructure and civil engineering right.

            Its a shame that absolutely nothing in human history is simply good. We cant say “wow x did y right!” Because x also has an abysmal human rights policy, or did some war crimes 100 years ago or whatever.

            Suddenly its not about x, its about z, and youre a piece of shit for thinking x ever did anything good when they also did something bad.

      That’s a pretty strong case of whataboutism. Nobody said that anything was fine and dandy in China. Only that they planned to build a high speed rail and they did it, while the US repeatedly fails at the same thing.

      I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.

      A lot of their youth have tech jobs but are also unemployed? Do you mean under employed as in they don’t get full hours or something.

      Is not comparing all internal issues of China and us. But you can’t deny they don’t have a plan and stick to it
