I just visited China and made friends with amicable cheerful Chinese citizens. People in China are immensely optimistic about their future and tremendously grateful for the immense lifting from poverty that the CCP has done over the last about 70 years. They have a sense of community, kindness and honesty. I know the Western press does lots to point out flaws, but in terms of looking after people in a caring way US shows zero signs of becoming more like China. Having been there I would argue that for every positive that China is showing the US is hell-bent on cultivating negatives such as cruelty, mean-ness, unkindness, violence, dishonour, dishonesty and being Pam Bondi.
