      Dont need to travel to see that chinese people live in poverty, anything can be done when you are a dictatorship, its corrupt and everything is a scam. Fake meat, fake tofu, tofu drag constructions, 4 billion on a road and all the village got was a gravel path. Where a state teaches kids to hate other nations and disrespect everything for something that happened 80 years ago instead of making sure this does not ever happen again. Where its a national sport to go abroad and harass others. Where the state doesnt care about your stolen things, but if you speak out publicly against it, you will be warned with a kind “take that down, or else”.

      If their electric cars are anything to go by, i dont even want to step on their most modern trains even if they give me trillions of GBP.

      If the regime is supposed to be an example of progress, well guess then we all should go back to european monarchy and imperialism. Europe thrived in the 19th century afterall. Just look at all those rich people living luxurious lifes. All the advancements in science, medicine, transportation, literatur, architectur, social policies, unification of people split appart and more.

      If i were to travel to china they would arrest me on the airport for critisising china and not seeing the CCP as legitimite and supporting taiwan, that being if i would even be allowed to enter the country.

      The USA train system is shit, yes, thats not even on debate. Against that even the russian train system is amazing.

      Also china didnt build its high speed trains on their own. They used EU and japanese tech.

      Japan has the best train system in the entire world, and that without being a supressive, all survaling dictatorship. OP here is comparing shit, scooped from the toilet, to a microwave meal, that got a mediocer plate up. Ofc then in comparison the microwave meal will look better.

          I am talking about west taiwan. The US is not teaching its kids to tread and smutter the flags of japan, korea and britain and france. It Doesnt have a whole celebration on their liberation day, where kids charge a fort and “kill the pig bastard invadors”, get taught how to throw granades and be loyal to their party and great leader (atleast not yet). US people that go abroad dont carve racist slurs into religiouse structures, shoot at birds with a sling shot, eat at a restaurant then dump in all the napkins and sauces on the table into the bowl so they are wasted and where the police atleast has to make an effort (yes bad police workers exist but not an entire states deparment) and dont threaten you with prison/disapearing if you dont take down your critique and outcry against them.

          Some US tourists are bad, i dont disagree, but there is a difference between not having manners and deliberately doing damage and disrespect, and just stupidity from an too inward centered society.
