  5. How is this related to communism? Oh, it's because it's about China, right? Gotcha.

  6. Funny how you determine building quality in the whole of China based on literally five abandoned districts, if you'd like to see some REAL low quality building, just take a look at the skyscrapers in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Shenzhen! Jokes aside, you must realize that they're called "ghost cities" for a reason, little to no maintenance whatsoever, so you should expect at least a couple of buildings to be in bad shape. The problem is, China is developing too fast. Besides, it's not that simple to fill up ghost cities, you got to clean up the mess, provide electricity, water and property management, they're not connected to other populated cities, a lack of infrastructure. Not even a homeless person would want to live there. Some of China's ghost cities will definitely get populated someday, but it's unlikely that all of them will.

  8. Isn't that basically just summing up what everyone in the world is trying to do? Work, buy nice things, get married?

  11. You're joking right? Probably are based on your profile picture. FYI, no country in the whole of history has ever been "fully communist". China is actually a national/state capitalist country with a totalitarian government, basically a very specific type of socialism, that still insists to be communist for some reason. Yeah it's complicated but that's how it is.

  14. Erm, ever heard of an "aging population"? Besides, it's not like any government cares about individuals anyway, you just got to accept the fact that ALL OF US ARE EXPENDABLE, we're all cogs in the machine that is humanity, therefore we must all work together collectively to improve on ourselves, not just as one individual, that's how we move forward.

  15. Drowning Narcissist Since...ever? The government controls everything, elections have been speculated to be rigged, and seeing as how America technically controls the world at the moment, the President can do whatever it what's within his/her sphere of influence, so yes, people can literally become Gods. Sigh Here we go again, a Westerner insisting that all people in China have no human rights and we all live like poor people blah blah blah...have you ever considered the fact that we might be rioting instead of working if this was the case? Us Chinese have different views on what "human rights" are, we don't need any Westerner telling us what is right/wrong, it's called the People's Republic Of China, not the United States of China. I'm Chinese by the way.

  16. Drowning Narcissist How am I being non-sequitur? How am I staying off topic? I am merely conversing about what you stated in the first place, please elaborate before throwing random accusations at me without explanation. POPULATION INCREASE IS NOT A PROBLEM IN CHINA, PERIOD. It's the population concentration in the big cities is the problem. There is plenty of land in China, it's just that only the big cities are crammed full of people, what's more, the population is said to peak at 1.44 billion before declining in 2029. Did you know that by 2050, over 330 million Chinese will be considered as elderly? That's more than the whole God damn population of America right now. Elderly can't work, elderly require constant care, and what's your solution? Start purging the elderly population every year? You misunderstood me, human worth is the same in almost every country, the government doesn't give a flying fuck whether your grandmother dies right now, do you expect them to? I'm saying HUMAN RIGHTS is different in China, and we don't have a problem with that, go visit China and ask some random guy off the street whether your precious democracy cough fake cough matters to him? Our system works, so why does it bother you so much? And also, no need to get so defensive over expendable lives, it's always been this way, really don't understand why you care so much when there are already millions dying in Africa, Syria etc. Go help them instead.
