    They’ll be disappointed to learn that China’s just as bad as the US, in some similar and some different ways.

      But also markedly better in many. I’ve worked in Changsha on and off for the last decade, and I’d move there to live in a heartbeat. The modern US I wouldn’t touch with a hundred foot pole.

      That’s subjective of course - but, while I don’t know what you’re taught in the US (it’s actually exciting to learn that you still have schools, I thought they’d all been converted into gun ranges) about China, that some people are clueing up to the reality being different is an objectively good thing - even if it’s not all sunshine and roses in Xi’s world either.
