As i said google it if you dont believe me. And no theyre not paying me or anything.

As i said before have you ever been to china? What chinese urban and rural cities have you been to ?

I have traveled all over china and all over the US so i can compare both societies with my own eyes.

Both maximalist arguments are dumb.
Historical Context: China lifted over 800 million people out of poverty (using the $1.90/day line) between 1981 and 2015, a massive reduction from 88% to 0.7%. LOL

The beauty about America is that everyone should be able to do whatever they want. That includes ODing on fentanyl. That's true freedom. Poverty in the US is $25k a year. Poverty in China is $700 a year. Clearly we're not comparing apples to apples.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Ok so youre argument is that its based and free to kill yourself with fentanyl in a puddle of vomit but its not free and based to jump.out of a factory window.

Suicide rates in the us are almost twice as those in china, and those numbers arena even couting drug overdoses which are a form of slowburn Suicide imo.

The avg chinese person lives in a healthier, safer and more peaceful society compared to the avg american thats just a fact boyo.

I'd still buy Tesla over Chinese EV just because of Teslas FSD service... IDK how good Chinese self driving is, if it's on par with what Elon is doing...

That's the only reason I'd even consider buying an EV, it's for the FSD... But otherwise, Chinese EV cars look nice

More BS. The average Chinese is told what their government wants them to be told. Anyone with a brain will not trust anything that comes out of China. You know this as well as I do. Stop the cap.

People become addicted to drugs. No one becomes addicted to jumping off buildings. They jump off because they are basically slaves and see no other way out.

The average Chinese lives in squalor compared to the average American. The average Chinese is in constant danger of being eaten by an escalator.

Some chinese bands have really good FSD I cant say for certain if its just as good but one thing that has potential to surpass teslas fsd is that most chinese self driving cars fully embrace lidar, for some reason tesla refuses to use lidar tech . LIDAR will allways be a superior technology for self driving when compared to sinply visual based self driving

Lmao do you think people kill themselves with fentanyl "just because" dont you think, despair, mental illness and societal deccay has nothing to do with that?

The leading cause of death for young americans is drug overdoses do you think thats normal in healthy society?

People choose to become junkies and die on the street because they see no way out of their miserable existence

The avg chinese does not live in squalor lmao.

AS I SAID BEFORE WHEN WHAS THE LAST TIME YOU VISITED CHINA?

I don't need to visit to know it's not great. I don't need to stand next to an Indian taking a street shit to know that it smells like shit. Why are you trying to convince me that it smells like roses though?

Now let me ask you this. If I did visit China and my opinion didn't change, what would your argument be then?

I cant change your opinion im not trying to change your opinion. Go ahead and visit china it will blow your mind (ded fkn srs)

If your opinion doesnt change after that then i would assume youre just a very stubborn person.

My argument is not that china is perfect of course it isnt, my argument is that it is not a chithole and they have been the most succesfull country on earth during the last 4 decades and that is an argument based on stats and reality not just feels.

As i said before i know nothing i say will make you change your mind and im not saying that the us is a chithole because china isnt both countries can and should succeed.

Having said pretty much every single american i know says that america was better before while every chinese person i know says the opposite about their country.

But here's the difference. There aren't videos of random people just kicking down concrete walls in America, or grabbing a railing and ripping it out of concrete with their hands. China is known for their propaganda. One can't trust anything that comes out of China. People will post these incredible views of China at night, but once the filters are removed and the same viewed is shown during the day, the truth comes out.

As of today almost 80% of chinese millenials are home owners while most Western millenias are rentcels.

The crime rate in the us is extremely higher than in china, this is true for all kinds of crime.
china isnt economically communist so this isnt the flex you think it is

China is selling precursers to fent super cheap to undermine the US which is further reason to be distrusting of them.

There was this orthopedic surgeon miscer here, Sam212. I was talking to him about an injury I had and how it's not fixable, and Godfrd butts in to post something like "you can fix any injury as long as you have money".

That's what you're dealing with here OP trying to argue with him. Godfrd is an expert on everything, today, it's China, tomorrow it's the design of semiconductors or something.

Been mirin that country for a while now. I met one of my relatives last month and he lives in China with his Chinese wife. Motherfucker is 6'7 living there.
He worked there in IT or some shit in his 20s.
Anyway man.
He talked great things about it. But as for the politics apparently the Chinese stay quiet about that shit for their safety. So there's definitely some sketchy stuff going on.

As for the cars if the price is right fuk it. Why not

I stupidly dropped $120k on the BMW EV I had, then realised how shit it was so traded it for a Mustang and $30k cash

Shortly after these Chinese EVs started flooding the market and everyone jumped on, laughing at those dropping six figures on BMW or Mercedes EVs, or $60k+ on base model Teslas

Within two years, they all started posting on social media how the batteries were fucked, the chassis were rusting out, the electronics were failing etc and dealers were telling them to fuck off because that's expected wear and tear

The Chinese are known for their quality.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
