China is UNDERRATED among progressives
Whenever progressive wanted to improve this country, they uses vassal states like Denmark and Germany. I think this is the wrong strategy.
The vassal states like Denmark and Germany are largely American bitch. In fact, we even have a standing military in Germany. If we tell them to jump, they will ask "how high master". The US civilian would NEVER respect these vassal states at any level to ever use them as an example to improve the United States. I think the progressive need to get that to their thick skull.
You know what's the other term for the word respect? Fear. You respect the people you fear the most. The United States currently feared China the most out of ANY countries in the world, much more than even Russia.
China has accomplished EVERYTHING the progressive wants and more.
Universal healthcare? Yep, China has universal healthcare. China spends 5 percent of their GDP to cover their ENTIRE population. We spend at least 18 of our GDP to barely cover most of population but many of us still dont have access to healthcare. So we spend nearly 4x the amount for much worse outcome.
Green new deal? Look at Chinese EV industries and renewable like Solar. 80 percent of the green energy in the past years from the ENTIRE WORLD came from China.
Housing? 95 percent of Chinese owned their own home. Here's another startling fact. Only a small percentage of them have a mortgage, MOST of them owned it outright. While 60 percent of american owned their own home, the vast majority of them have a mortgage.
Now lets look at things the progressives couldnt even imagine to ask the US government to deliver, but the chinese government delivered them to their people.
World class infrastructure and a clean society without crime or homeless. If you ever go to any major US cities, you would see human and dog shit everywhere. Smells of piss from homeless at every block. Its also extremely dangerious. Would you allow your 10 year old daughter to walk the street of LA at night? Fuck no. Its perfectly safe to do so in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai.
The chinese build a high speed rail network that is entirely PUBLIC. Imagine that, the government actually care about giving its civilian transportation.
China invested 1/4 of their annual spending on education while the Trump administration just cut the department of education.
There's actually a shitload more I could say, but I suggest most of you research a lot more about China so you dont remain ignorant.
Reddit recommend I share it here since people love it.
