No idea why this is downvoted because it's literally what's happening in China, regardless of the failures elsewhere.

Downvoted maybe because spelling and capitalization errors?
Edit: Holy crispy, it's just an idea of mine, not an assertion or endorsement or confirmation. Geeze.
If so that's a bit mean. Not everyone here is a native English speaker.

Which is a really stupid reason to down-vote. Down-voting should be reserved for comments that do not contribute to the discussion. People need to be aware that there's non-native English speakers on this platform too.
This is an American forum in all but name. For the rest, we feel like we're eavesdropping, occasionally mumbling here and there.

If you can’t learn to write English keep reading. Being unable to capitalize or punctuate correctly is a wonderful heuristic for not trying to communicate. There are many more native speakers who are typing for their own benefit than non-natives who can profitably read this forum but can’t write.
