My god the comments. You are perfectly allowed to not know much about a country. I don't know about PRC either. But I know to keep my mouth shut on matters I don't know about. I don't go on parroting propaganda for those things.

MODERATORS
Westerners today have so much in common with their inquisition and crusades predecessors. They replaced Christianity with Western Liberalism and they fight for it with the same zeal. Either you adopt their values and systems or you are an evil heathen who must be destroyed.
Makes even more sense once you realize that the inquisition and witch hunts were deeply intertwined with the forceful establishment of capitalism

If, over the next 10 years, your country became more and more like China, would you go along with the changes? Would you have any problems with the transformation?
- modern electricity grid quickly moving away from fossil fuels
- high speed train network
- cheap fresh produce
- affordable housing
- transitioning to socialism via the development of productive forces
- strong investment in education and R&D
- quickly advancing tech in almost every sector that matters
- people-directed governance that is not subservient to capital (foreign or domestic)
- very low crime
- ecological restoration that won't get cancelled by the next elected administration
- cheap and good quality healthcare
- bold long term vision and consistent achievement of it over time
objectively better than just about any other place
I wish my country became more like China over the next decade

i would literally kill for half the amenities they have in China.
Given that I live in the US Empire, a number of things will go differently for socialist construction. The US Empire is de-industrialized, and is a settler-colony. Decolonization and re-industrialization will both be required. However, certain aspects of China's experience with socialism will also be experienced by the socialist state replacing the US Empire in this hypothetical, and I support that as well.
