I'm not a China friendly person but holy false equivalence. if you compare the damage done to the world, the US is immeasurably worse than china. I'd rather have 400 china's in the world than the one US that we have.

I have seen videos about how they have invested in their cities and public transit and the cheap futuristic cars and rich cousine the people make in China itself. But from I understand now their education system is kind of useless with their entry test forcing people into a certain career they don't want, so companies hire more on likeability, queer rights is horrible, women's rights are behind and while it isn't quite dystopian people are scared to say anything that offends the government. And everyone knows they have the most invasive privacy system, they will even use it for things like knowing automatically that you paid for a train ticket wheb you walk in so it feels like a plus as long as you're a good citizen. The cost of living compared to wages is definitely lower there right now though, but I don't think I would ever move to China. Honestly, almost anywhere looks better than the US in the 2020's. I think Mexico looks better in most places. Europe looks so so much better.
Come to Europe. :)
I'm thinking about it :)

At least China uses the metric system, which makes them better than the US /j
The one thing that upset me watching the Artemis II mission broadcast was the constant use of imperial units.
NASA uses metric units internally. They had to intentionally translate than back into imperial units for the livestream. Please, folks. Use the better units.
Isn't this why they wrote off two Mars missions?
