I just watched a video linked above, and happened upon a Chinese video there.
Likely a propaganda piece. But interesting.

China is rapidly advancing. It is not the China of old. I am glad Trump is president now, but we have a lot of Americans who just do not get that China is a different country now.
We need to wake up.
Now.
We need to wake up.
Now.
Exactly.
I’ve spent time in China. I watch Chinese TV programs regularly on the internet (all subtitled in good English).
China scares the crap out of me. Spend 10 minutes in China and you will see it is not at all as portrayed. Much of it is increasingly modern and the people are entrepreneurial and work their butts off. What are the most popular programs on China TV? Programs about investment and business. People have money coming out of their ears, there is an expanding prosperous middle class that puts the U.S. to shame. It is a heavy duty country on the move and totally expansionistic. Everything is for “Our China.”
Sure it’s got its quality issues. But where do you think most of your devices are actually made? I’ve driven past the area in Xian where they make Apple’s I-phones for example.
“We need to wake up.”
I’ve been to China, traveled extensively on their freeways (actually toll roads). They are in PERFECT CONDITION, absolutely smooth, meet all US standards as far as I can tell, and have very nice roadside vegetation, like California once did until they went broke. As I said during my last trip there “you can’t fake freeways” Likewise, if their cities are falling apart, I haven’t seen evidence of it, but I do know of the apartment building that toppled, and I’m sure there are many other isolated examples - but they do deal with official corruption there, executing those who engage - unlike Obama/Holder/Lynch.
Been to India too - total dump, in most cities (some exceptions, but still nothing close to China).
We’re now somewhere in between.
