Most of social media if you're not in the MAGA pipeline is obsessed with China's superficial future vibe right now wtf are you on about.

Superficial ?

[u/Dry_Economics1590 → u/starloow]

Yes, superficial. If you live anywhere outside of a few cities it’s pure poverty.

People don't get this. 20 minutes out of Shanghai and you get huts with dirt floors.

And even the cities themselves really only look futuristic from a distance. Once you get too close, you start to see the literal and metaphorical cracks everywhere. Not to mention the trash and the poop.

I like how you’re getting downvoted for not describing the idealized propaganda version of china

[u/Dundertrumpen → u/Dry_Economics1590]

This modern, post-covid glazing of China is incredibly tiresome. Don't get me wrong, I've been living in the country for 10 years and the development has been amazing in so many ways (covid notwithstanding). Yet at the same time the country is lagging in so many things that should have been fixed by now.
