Better the devil you know. The 1 child policy has screwed several generations and fortunately with the want for males will lead to a huge demographic collapse and India taking the crown.

I think that the image of China is a bit too optimistic.

Watch some youtube's video about CCTV surprising moments.

Most "moments" are from China, not surprising given the number of security cameras there.

On display is a country built on papier mache, literally. Glasses and walls crumbling for nothing, chasms opening in the cities' roads, a hyper lazy attitude with everything.

Very instructive...

Loud and boorish clown? I think this is an oversimplified and shallow caricature that deeply fails to capture the true complexity of this character. This is the mainstream leftist view of Trump, with the ommission, of course, of the wannabe dictator references. He is a man of peace as opposed to the neocons warmonger tendencies of the current captured and wokist left. He is clearly opposed to war as evidenced by both his past history and by the people he now surrounds himself with, and, in particular, RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard. He also has the notable Vivek Ramaswamy and the future DOGE (department of government efficiency) Elon who I also believe you incorrectly portrait. Then there is his wise VP pick who is bright and wise and accomplished. Then there is the fantastic journalist Matt Taiibi who is supporting him, and the wise Jordan Peterson, both part of the MAHA movement (make America healthy again). There is a very clear and stark difference between these two candidates.
