I was in shenzen in 1995, and it looked even worse than that 1980 picture of it. Dirt roads, dusty, dilapidated infrastructure, shoeless children wandering the streets, open sewer pits, etc. Now it makes nyc look like a third word country.
I love when Reddit is just scream about how bad China is. Idk, as an American, it looks like they’re doing something right. Idk, maybe the whole “government investing in your citizens and infrastructure” isn’t such an evil socialist plot.
Yeah those millions of native were perfect to build some massive foundations for a true developed country, especially when they were not there anymore.
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.
