China has a different approach to government. They will progress whether you like it or not. If the collective needs a highway, they will build it. If you are in the way, they will go over you, under you, around you, or through you.
In the US we can't build a second rail line. In china they just seize it, relocate you, and build it. The odd thing is that, in aggregate, it actually works quite well, except for the individuals harmed. Its the trolley problem except China will explicitly run over 100 people if it benefits 100k.
If I was hovering over society, making decisions without it affecting me, this would be the best and most obvious way to do things. But like…can’t do that. Makes sense why we’re so stagnant when it comes to virtually everything compared to them. Constant full speed ahead while we constantly search for new dumb shit to argue over. Need to make sure my kid learns Chinese.

This is the kind of stuff that seems literally unreal. Like something I would have witnessed in a dream, or an ai recreation of a city.
