What other place could have:
what's that? it's new york city? whoops.
Yeah, I’d venture to guess most people alive in China today spent their childhoods in rural areas based on the urbanization trend. There’s been a lot of recent progress in marriage law within the last year or so. The gist is something like for a woman to divorce her husband you needed evidence of him wronging you and had to wait a cooldown period. Those rules have been relaxed in a drive to combat domestic violence.
This is still a hot take in most western circles. I really hope that tiktok turns up the propaganda now that it's going to be banned anyway, especially during an election year to make more people see videos like this.
My vibes-based analysis is that Japan is a US ally, and it still took something like 20 years for a majority of westerners to think of it as a nice place. China will be subject to relentless propaganda, so I think it's probably going to be around 2030 or later when most westerners realize China is a nice place.
It's a pity to see 西方人小看中国. I guess the silver lining is that with racist western chauvinism clouding the vision of imperialists, they will continue delusional policies that underestimate China and overestimate their own capability, which is ultimately a soft strategic advantage for China.
Some good news - this is so on the nose that even the good liberal subscribers are not biting. Most upvoted comment atm:
“It’s a good day for world peace,” - how utterly grotesque. I sometimes wonder if Joe Biden genuinely has no idea he’s going to lose in November.
They are too old, I am not supposed to know they were an original party member, and the pretenses for meeting them are that I am a friend of their family
Yes they are extremely old. They’re not actually sure what year they were born because they might have faked their identity at some point to avoid persecution.
Chinese people I've heard from generally say 昆明 (kunming) is the best place to live, at least from a natural scenery and weather perspective. Here's a map, where 昆明 is outlined in the 四季如春 (four seasons as spring) area, meaning the weather year-round is like spring. Beyond the climate, 云南 (yunnan), where 昆明 is located, is a mountainous province that is also a biodiversity hotspot. There's bountiful microclimates and many local cultures as well. Definitely not a "Max GDP" sort of place, but the other factors are incredibly good.
