    Chinese infrastructure developing is truly impressive. I guess that’s one benefit of being in an imperial dictatorship.

      It feels like they are using this presidency to get as far ahead as they can.

        Not just this one. But I think you are overestimating such improvements over strategic ones that the US is still doing more. Say, Starlink really turning into some sort of planetary cell network.

      They are ostensibly a one party state, not a dictatorship. While Xi is the paramount leader, he claims he isn’t a dictator and I definitely believe him. Also it seems like he doesn’t have absolute control, but what do I know.

        This sentence feels so Soviet.

          Yeah, hate that the world views him as not a dictator, at least formally, but I don’t make the rules.

        What do you think would happen if he started doing things the people able to recall him didn’t like?
