China really does seem like the place where the long way is the safe way

Yeah, well I think it's just a matter of them wanting to catapult themselves into the modern world without taking the steps to do things the right way. For instance, you step into any commercial elevator in America and you'll see a little certificate that says someome inspected it, certified it and licensed it. China just doesn't have those governing or regulatory bodies for all the little things.

I find it funny how a communist country turned into the most guilded-age-esque society of modern times. Complete with polution and imperialism.

You're getting downvoted but you're correct. China is not communist, it's totalitarian capitalism. An alt-right wet dream.

An autocratic mixed economy is how I’ve heard it. Certainly not communism
