Pretty well. I’m not arguing China is perfect or anything, but they are at least capable of addressing a problem and moving on to the next one. Like, 50 years ago they were having trouble feeding people. Today, they’re everyone’s largest trading partner. That comes with it’s own set of issues, but I think they have the capacity to work through it.
50 years ago, the United States was arguing about abortion and inflation. When I was in elementary school, it was with talk of school shootings on the news. Today, we’re still arguing about abortion and inflation. Now I’m in the workforce and several generations have grown up with school shootings on the news. If China has issues “bubbling under the surface”, then our issues have become gangrenous.
You’re being purposely dishonest when you argue that the issues of the US 50 years ago are the same as they are today. Inflation isn’t something that goes away. It’s a necessity in for a growing economy. Abortion is politically still here but views on sexuality and women are not the same as it was 50 years ago.
Our issues are bad and still probably get worse before they get better but I still would not trade places with China. As I said it’s easier when you are still a developing nation but their issues are not something you’d envy.
They have a real estate problem that can end their economy, a gender disparity due to their 1 child policy that will leave generations of men without any hopes of finding a partner, and they still get to deal with the same education inflation problem that exists everywhere: all children spending their whole lives studying to get into the few good universities but without that good job waiting for them.
Vietnam is still developing so there is a lot of room for growth, but China already has a mountain of issues bubbling under the surface.
How well do you think your comment will age in 3 to 5 years?
