  They have a demographic pit in front of them which they themselves created with “1 child policy”.

  Also CCP too doesn’t exactly serve the people. It’s a hierarchy of (possibly benevolent) bureaucrats.

    I never said they were ahead on social issues. They aren’t and have never been. Their infrastructure shits on ours. Hell look at their healthcare system.

      The one child policy and the nightmare that will cause is not just a social policy.

      And yes, China’s infrastructure is very very impressive, however it’s also true that when everything has been built in the past 30 years, it’s inevitably going to be a lot more efficient and modern than a country that has a lot of legacy baggage. A prime example of that is probably the UK, who are still trying to keep Victorian-era rail infrastructure working. Tearing out old stuff and replacing it is time consuming, complex, and expensive.

        Alright, you act like China isn’t older than the UK or the US.

        It’s older than both combined.
