  1. Its an infrastructure channel and currently no country has as many infrastructure projects as China

  2. Difference is China is able to develop their cities at crazy rates without developing massive slum and crime problem like South/Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America

  5. China is very mountainous country. Many cities are in valleys, basins and plateaus. Despite it being similar size to USA. It has far less flat land compared to USA, eg eastern half of USA is very flat, with exception of Appalachia, China doesn't even have any comparable flat region similar to gigantic size of Eastern half of USA. China has to manage 4 times the population with far less flat land as USA

  6. It seems like China always starts pandemics but never seems to be badly affected by pandemics they start

  7. China still has homelessness and high housing prices, so housing is still not enough. Also California is prone to earthquakes. China builds lots of buildings very quickly but their quality is very low as they compromise safety and quality for speed, like the shaking skyscraper in Shenzhen, and building like China would be disastrous in California. China even proved that themselves when earthquake strikes, that their buildings are build quickly but without quality, such as how many buildings in Chengdu collapsed easily in 2008 earthquake killing 87,000 while in San Francisco and LA, the last major earthquakes in those 2 cities killed 63 and 57 respectively as their buildings held up

  12. Only in cities and thats because Chinese cities are new while western cities are hundreds of years old. Outside the cities, completely different story, with China lacking roads, schools, hospitals and toilets/sanitation outside cities while west is able to provide those services to both urban and rural area

  13. China's population isn't youthful at all. It has low birth rate and old population like the west

  14. Correction, its communist not fascist

  15. It still has low GDP per capita and lots of poverty

  16. Chinese cities are actually a lot more walkable than American cities

  17. Improvements in agriculture technology means less people needed to grow crops. They can still feed 1.4 billion with their agriculture

  18. Thats what commie blocks look like. Every country under communist control seem to look this way including China, Russia, North Korea, Eastern European countries
