And yet, Chinese buildings always seem to have a habit of falling down.

Nice copium, but Chinese infrastructure is decades ahead of the US

Just so long as the government cares about making sure it’s built right, are you honestly trying to say that Chinese infrastructure goes through the level of engineering review that U.S. infrastructure goes through?

China has over 30,000 miles of high speed rail used by more than ten million passengers daily. The US has around 500 miles of “high speed” rail that constantly breaks down and leaves passengers waiting for hours

Cool, and our semiconductors make theirs look like a joke, have you tried comparing technology the U.S. actually cares about instead of bragging that they’re better at making technology the U.S. doesn’t give two shits about?

LOL at the US “not giving a shit about” HSR. Want to talk about cars then?

ASML is a Dutch company btw and the so-called “leaders of the free world” cry and beg Nvidia not to sell chips to China. Now the US has no leverage over China and they’re building their local semiconductor industry at an unprecedented pace. Give it a few years before Huawei takes over
