Good?

So they can give back to the world. They've destroyed countless Chinese in the process, but that's not our problem. Complaining about trains when cheap air travel is available to even the poor is peak academia. Complaining about semiconductors to several generations who grew up on the Internet and iPhone doubly so.

Anyone who has China lust should move there, the same for anyone with a burning lust for communism, give up their Western citizenship, and put their ignorance—oops I mean foresightedness—to the test. In fact, it's too bad we can't deport people there (eg wannabe communists). For the rest of us, Google Street View (of China versus, say, anywhere else), Walmart, and a healthy understanding of the difference between real life and Substack should suffice.

You're very ideologically inflexible. Instead of engaging with other modes of development / forms of government, youre just telling them to leave your country.

Why don't you open your mind a bit, and learn from the experiences of others

They are wrong. Here they can be wrong and survive, there they cannot. By law.

> ideologically inflexible

Perhaps. At any given time, possibly, but over time I think I disagree with you.
