What europeans like me who want to try something else do is simple: we emigrate to China and see how it is.
We dont all need to all do the same thing, and the biggest fallacy of all is that we re in competition with each other. We trade more or less efficiently but since doors are always half open, heh, just jump if you want.
Can even change with age.

Let us know how simple this works out in practice.

It wasn't especially difficult pre-COVID. I know a few people from the UK and Bulgaria who have done so.
> i fear that this work-ethic will come back sooner or later to europe to "stay competitive"
I'm a bit more optimistic. In a culture where productivity is not the be-all and end-all, staying competitive at the cost one's whole life, will not take roots. I think that productivity also has different dimensions, which helps.
