> China is getting shit done and building things

That's the bottom line. It frightens me to admit, but China is the only advanced economy where progress is happening these days.

If you check out the opinion of Western expat population here (other than English teachers and ayis) a high double digit of them will put out this very concrete reasoning for coming here. Most come here because they are betting on a winning horse, not because they suddenly felt in love papa Xi or anything.

The scorecards of Western nations stopped improving two decades ago, and I believe we are now passing an inflection point from which their stagnation turns into a decline.



How exactly are these score cards tallied?
