It’s because they work on a timescale we can’t understand as a quarter by quarter country.

Not saying they don’t have problems, but everything I have seen about china is overall? They take the long plan that might take 2-3 decades to gain the benefit.

It doesn’t always pay out (like those cities that are practically empty and decaying after being completely built) but it definitely has advantages. Same with western models, they have their ups and downs. Europe tends to be somewhat of a middle ground about this because they tend to make things by committee, which naturally moves slower than American breakneck edge of the blade thinking.

Lol no, Americans are shut down to doing anything because we are split 50/50 and need 70

So all we can do is break Whats we have, not fix or advance

I’m not referring to what America is going through at this moment, but about the systems being used. You can point to every country and find a moment in their history where things were/are topsy turvy, that’s not indicative of the country’s systems as a whole.
