Yeah those millions of native were perfect to build some massive foundations for a true developed country, especially when they were not there anymore.

I was speaking more to the corruption of the chinese economy and especially the construction industry. There's a reason they call them Tofu cities.

Let's go check and see how Flint and Gary are doing....

I think they'd love some tofu right about now

This is my point. I’m not saying China is perfect, but what the fuck is America doing right now?

Pick flint and we can pick the 4th world cities in china whose average salaries are 19,000 usd

China has super developed areas and shit holes while the us is consistent average

Because every criticism of the country, it's practices, and it's people must be because of far right religious groups and conspiracy theorist?

There's criticism and there's propaganda funded by voice of america. When you look at news like tofu buildings, just look at the initial sources. It's the same thing that happen with north korea where they claim outrageous shit. there's still plenty to criticise about china, and infinitely more about north korea, but when you want to demonize the whole country you have to go nuts with fake news.
