Both my ex and current wife are Chinese, I’ve been to China a lot - especially the southern provinces.
China has its own entitlement mentality, but obviously Musk never sees that. Two hour lunches so the workers can take a nap for example. Corruption off the scale, beyond anything Americans can imagine.
Chinese workers will tolerate horrific working and living conditions for very low pay as long as the job provides room and board (then they go home for a day every so often). Families understand when the bread winner is away most of the year - as their marital relationships are not as close as ours here. (Hence the first ex in my case.)
The middle and upper middle class in China are total assholes. They act as though they rule the world, and are the CCP members. The lowly workers are great people - as they tend to come from rural areas - a lot like the US.
Every time I’m in China I tend to stay out in the countryside among the normals.
Fascinating. Thank you for that.
