'America' is becoming a slur.
I actually don't have anything positive to say about America.
I guess I can say it's better than China and Russia for a big country. And it's nice that it's big and people can travel between so many states too, each with slightly different culture.
China is barely smaller than the US, and what you think is a unified Chinese language is actually a bunch of mutually unintelligible languages in a trench coat.
The cultural differences between regions in the US are usually much smaller than ones in China.
The most obvious examples of this are the regions of Xinjiang and Tibet.
I admit I don't know much about China, so thank you.
Is it better? I mean, at least China makes a a crapload of stuff. What does America export besides entertainment and bombs?
here you go
So the US largest export is oil and petrolium? Haven't really heard that talked about so much.
