    Have you ever stepped food into China? I have. And I can tell you from personal experience they’re living in the future.

    They have their own fair share of problems. But the investments they’re making into infrastructure are very easily going to catapult them to the head of the class here very shortly…

    I’m really tired of being told how distopian China is from people who’ve never even been there.

      Yeah I’ve been there a bunch and this city centers are definitely impressive. There is plenty of dystopian shit though. Obviously the Internet situation is weird, but I’ve been basically told I can’t go up to my hotel room without my Chinese sponsor.
