China’s great leap forward in science

After visiting China (and admittedly only knowing US from opinions on the Internet/HN) I'm willing to say the society is much closer to the USA than Central European states.

The chase after the buck, cult of success and celebrities, car-heavy cities. Also cars as status symbols.

The concentration of power in the central government isn't really that visible.

I agree with you second claim. There's recently really a strange deluge of anti-Chinese comments, even here on HN. My guess it stems from ignorance.

Mass internment of political activists or minority populations, horrific treatment of any who disagree with the state, hard to ignore evidence of widespread abuse of organ harvesting, and you are confounded by people having problems with China?
