  1. It's funny that when you look at a lot of these videos, in many areas, China is becoming number one in a lot of them over the last decade or two, you can actually understand why the hawks in Washington are so worried about what is happening as it's easy to see China is taking over as a power in a lot of areas.

  2.  @cosmicraysshotsintothelight  But China is a developing nation so they can get away with giving to themselves.

  3.  @cosmicraysshotsintothelight  That doesn't mean they are not a developing nation because they likely will be for at least another 2 decades.

  4.  @cosmicraysshotsintothelight  If you say so but the fact of the matter is, the average wage in China falls far below rich developed countries and until that changes, they are still seen as a developing country to most of the world, after all, if they were first world, the economy would be 4 times bigger than the US.

  5.  @cosmicraysshotsintothelight  The real advantage China has for now is the cost of living being much lower than the west but more importantly, they manufacture a lot of their own goods, that makes their living standards higher than it seems but even with all that, they are still some distant away from modern countries. As for standards of living, we need a new system for calculating how well people are in a country because GDP per capita doesn't cut it, going on the logic of GDP per capita, if one guy in the house earns 10 grand and the other earns 100 grand, according to GDP per capita, both of them are well off and that how it works for countries. Have you ever wondered in the US and UK for all the talks of how well the GDP is doing over the last 20 years and yet, we are seeing far more discontent with people and many being left behind, Trump didn't get into power by accident, he got in because people are fed up, it's the same for Brexit in the UK, people are lashing out because they feel they are being left behind as more wealth ends up in fewer hands. A new system to calculate wealth that takes into account the poor, middle classes and rich. Anyway, this rich poor divide started to got out of control from the early 80's and it's been getting worse ever since, sooner or later, it's going to blow up in all our faces which could lead to revolution if governments and the rich elites are not careful, we are seeing early signs of that warning with Trump, Brexit and the popularise movement around the world, it's a cry for change from a lot of people. Another factor of why things look more grim the last 2 decades is thanks to the internet and smartphones, things were bad before that but now a lot more people are aware of how bad the system really is and that's what creating the real division and problems now, especially in the west and if we are not careful, I suspect it's going to get much worse before it gets better.
