I don’t know much about it though the people I know who have gone were very impressed, that is true of much of Asia.
So of course I had to look up some stuff
Can they travel?
Pre Covid in 2019 3 million Chinese visited the United States, and 2.3 million Americans visited China so they can travel.
Guns?
As far as liberty, you can’t have a gun though you can have one for sporting purposes. Somehow they got the most medals in shooting sports at the 2024 Olympics?
Usually if you have world class athletes in a competition, you have athletes to choose from.
Any billionaires?
The Chinese Billionaire who tried to push the government around was arrested and now lives in Japan, some people in the world would not be brokenhearted to see that happen to a few American ones.
Who can work for the government?
Right now in the USA you won’t be working for the federal government unless you’re a MAGA Party member.
In China you have to be a CCP member to be in the government, that membership also get you the right to vote.
Crime and drugs?
Crime and drug abuse are not issues in China, children go outside and play like we did as children.
They don’t have armed police and their prison population per capita is 20% of ours.
Life expectancy is a year more than the USA.
Mao has been gone for forty-nine years and Chinese wage growth looks to be catching up.
Corporate tax rate is 25% but if it’s something the CCP is pushing you get a more favorable rate, just like America.
They have almost 35000 miles of high speed rail, USA has?
There are issues just as in any country, Xijiang province?
