The following article is written by Ismail Bashmori, he is an Egyptian China watcher. The truth is that China is the greatest country on the face of the earth. It makes all other countries look insignificant and contemptible. It is the most brilliant, most industrious, most ambitious, most educated, meritocratic and technocratic, most modern, sophisticated, and civilised, and best-governed by far. It is the first non-white, non-Western country to reach this status since the 1600s. The determination of this country is indescribable. Supernatural. There is no force that can stop it from accomplishing anything it wants to do. 。 It doesn’t matter who we are. Egyptians, Syrians, Pakistanis, Indians, Africans, even Americans. Next to the Chinese, we are pathetic. We can’t do what they do. We would have a mountain, an Everest of changes to make, and we would whine and bicker and fail at every one of them. China’s story since the 1980s has been one of an almost divine metamorphosis. 。 Next to China the entire Western world from Alaska to New Zealand has stagnated. Next to China the entire developing world from Brazil to Madagascar has progressed only at a crawl. China is the mother of all gargantuan bullet trains. Every day it manages to create something new and astonishing. And unlike the United States, unlike the British Empire, unlike the French, Dutch, Germans, Spanish, Portuguese or any other Western nation that had its turn at being a superpower in the past four centuries, China doesn’t need to run anybody over or take something from somebody else, to rise majestically. China is also standing up to the West all by herself. The West can’t believe their four-hundred-year-old global supremacy is being challenged. They hoped that the more China developed, the more it would submit to their influence, interests, and leadership. That didn’t happen. So now they will do anything possible, short of a nuclear war, to make China end. Their goal is to destroy this country. That’s why, although the United States has killed several million people and turned several regions of the earth into hellscapes. China is the worst fear of our planet’s Western masters. They want you to despise and dread a country that’s done nothing to you, that hasn’t invaded anyone, bombed or sanctioned anyone, that hasn’t overthrown any foreign government, or used its military on anything since 1979. China is the only major country in the nonwhite developing world, to stand up to the West. To look it in the eye when challenged or threatened. The Global South are simply Western puppets who submitted long ago. Even the most powerful ones. Saudi Arabia, Brazil, India. Above only part of the article, you can read the full article under the following link. www.dailyexpress.com.my/read/4459/west-can-t-believe-nor-accept-china-s-progress/?fbclid=IwAR3aJYSZC3rbUgM1NwHCO73XxnNzNkJPa9wrSsFp-4KMxTozuJiHBwLJDXU

Harvey you are a young man and I am impressed with how smart you are. Regarding differences between the UK and China, I can add to this debate. I lived for 30 years in the UK but moved to HK a while back and am very happy with my life here. The public transport is fantastic so I don’t have to buy a car to get around town. It‘s really safe here as well. I believe by and large the government is trying their best to look after the local population just like every city across China. It’s sad to see how low the UK has fallen but the government only know how to do America’s bidding and cannot seem to get out of it’s rut. There is no manufacturing industry to speak of in the UK anymore and all the world leading companies like ARM have either been sold off or like Dyson have moved abroad. The only world class industry the UK has left is the British education system which means a lot of the British schools have successfully set up shop in HK and across China. I think if the UK wants to improve the living standards and raise their economy，they will have to stop following whatever America demands and forge closer business ties with China and the BRICS nations. However I don’t think that is likely to happen and the UK could very well become a 3rd world country as evidenced by the already crumbling infrastructure and the shocking state of the NHS.

People get attacked daily in the subway system by guns or knives or getting lit on fire, you name it. It’s so dirty and nasty too in the city and in the train system. Rats and bugs everywhere.

The reason why China is willing to incur losses to build railways in remote areas is not for the immediate benefits of the transportation expenses, but to enhance communication and connectivity between remote areas and advanced regions, with the wealthy regions driving the development of poor ones, thus enabling people to get rid of poverty from the root. This aligns with two famous Chinese proverbs: giving fish is not as good as teaching fishing, and if you want to get rich, build roads. This long-term development strategy is based on China's one-party system, where the Communist Party can focus on developing the country rather than boring elections and party politics.

Perhaps this can be explained as "path dependence". Historically, Britain has always relied on external conflicts to transfer internal conflicts. It is happy to create confrontation and chaos between countries on the European continent, create ethnic conflicts in colonies to suppress colonial resistance, and suck blood from colonies to feed the British mainland. Until today, Britain has lost its original ability: it has no ability to continue to create chaos in other countries (although they still do so, but they fail more often), and it has no ability to suck blood from colonies (the colonies have been dismembered by its son, the United States). Therefore, when internal conflicts broke out in Britain, it was powerless.

In the financial war between the United States and China over the past few years, the United States wants to make China's economy collapse. However, China has strong economic strength, and the United States itself is not strong enough. When the United States starts to cut interest rates, the world's currency will flow into China in large quantities, and the Chinese economy will become very active. However, as long as the United States starts to cut interest rates, the value of the US dollar exchange rate will depreciate rapidly!

Military actions are expensive. The western public are brainwashed by the media and journalists with fanatic pseudo-religious of human rights and democracy, trying to fight against evil regimes to liberate oppressed people. So all the money for infrastructure is gone without objection of the public. Not only is the fund for infrastructure missing, a bigger consequence is that the suffering of the huge population in war areas is not sensible by western public. They only see the waves of illegal immigration from those war areas that change the landscape of European society, creating more conflicts without knowing the association to the journalist fanatic belief that only they understand humanity and concept of liberal democracy, evil CPP is too dumb to understand, even there are better infrastructure under CPP's governance.

That country is changing in a blink of an eye, 800 millions of peoples that get out of poverty in not even three decades, that's about 100k peoples per day, and more than one person every second, in about a month they get out more peoples of poverty than there's is in many western capitals, that's how much of a titan this china is, as long as they keep doing this well i have 0 problems with China whatever they might do. Poverty is pure hell, that should be the priority of countries like India who now have the highest population in the world, however because they don't care about their peoples, don't planify their economy, and don't invest in the education of their population just to keep some unhealthy extremely rich peoples, i don't see how a country this large can hold on for long considering all their tensions inside with separatist groups in every corner of the country and outside with other surrounding nations.

@@JohnSmith-sm7ezTap water in China is no less drinkable if you insist on drinking it in the US, the UK, etc., but it is not recommended. With much more affordable bottled water, more installation of household water purification systems, and a longstanding preference for warm/hot water, why drinking tap water which has a higher concentration of salt that gives rises to kidney stones, can be contaminated in the degraded pipes between the water plants and your home, and tastes obviously worse? In fact the government knows very well calling tap water drinkable doesn’t make it drinkable, but it does it anyway. For example in the US, EPA is fully aware that compared to bottled water, there could be much more metallic ions like lead and copper, residual chlorides and fluorides, etc. However, it never imposed any standards regarding the presence of these substances because it believes they aren’t the major threat to health. At least, I never drank tap water without boiling first in the US and I installed a water softener to be nicer to my hair when I shower.

I think that the difference lies in the thinking behind the policies, in China the government wants to better the lot of the people, they believe that the point of governance is to bring the living standards of the population up, whereas in the UK the general population are seen as economic units, we have experienced Austerity for 14 years following the global financial crash. I think that the difference lies in cooperation and competition, China promotes cooperation and Britain competition.

This so-called loss had been "explained" by the World Bank in comparing the logistics costs based on GDP. In the early 90s, China was reported to spend 29.2% of her GDP on overall logistics and 3 years ago, this percentage was reported at 14.2%; meaning China as a whole had saved the equivalent of US$2.7 Trillion based on her 2023 report. And this saving is simply being enjoyed by the nation as a whole. Do the West perceived that national saving is irrelevant unless the so-called profit must be made by a private entity?

No point keep comparing UK with China, if most of the people still live in their la la land believing in their own superiority, without realising how the greedy capitalism has consumed the society? If you privatise all the key services what can you expect? Before these profiteering companies put in any penny of investment they must first look at the ROI. In the current climate the investor lobbyists are influencing the public policies but their primary objective is to appease the stakeholders not the public. Previously the capitalists are happy to make 10% returns but today they want to make 20% in half of the time. Therefore in a highly privatised environment, no investors will park large amounts of money into long term infrastructure projects. Blame it on your own gov who started to privatise all the key essential public systems such as transport, communication, energy etc it is quite hard to believe the public actually accepted reasons from the gov that privately owned and operated services would be more efficient and cost effective. To me if a gov cannot be efficient and cost effective, that gov should have been voted out for a better one!

This is just my personal perspective. I studied in the UK since September 2023, and was away from Hong Kong until July 2024. When I returned back to my homeland, just by comparing London Heathrow Airport and Hong Kong International Airport, there is a major difference in them. HK international airport is a lot more cleaner than London Heathrow. Not gonna lie, the infrastructure of Hong Kong International Airport is way more well designed than London Heathrow. I have been to London Heathrow more 5 times, and there were trash everywhere and no one is cleaning them, while HK international airport is more clean, and almost spotless. As for streets comparison, in the UK, I often see homeless people wherever I go. During my time in Plymouth, I saw at least 5 homeless people everyday, even when I go to Co-op or Tesco. As for HK, even though there are homeless people, it's less than UK's. I only witnessed like 1 homeless people per month. As for public security, in the UK, I often heard people that there were accidents happening there and there, and worst, I even witnessed a kidnap and a murder outside my boarding school, and the police doesn't give a shit about it. As for HK, I never witnessed anything like that. In conclusion, UK needs improvements, they are lacking behind in every way when comparing to Hong Kong.

Comparing transport infrastructure in the UK and China would be like comparing infrastructure in Djibouti vs. Switzerland.

The world is like a besieged city; those inside want to get out, while those outside want to get in. China scores very high for tourists, but it is not friendly to workers. The unemployment rate is high, wages are low, and there is a lot of overtime work.

In China, all non-profitable projects are built and operated by Chinese state-owned enterprises. For example: roads and bridges in mountainous areas and engineering projects to support poor areas. China's high-speed rail is currently mostly unprofitable, but it is convenient for people and can promote economic development in different regions, which is also built by state-owned enterprises.

very well put together video :)) What job do you do over there?

the infrastructure drive was partly necessary to close the urbanization gap in China last 30 years. but the root cause was land sale being the sole income for local government. while railway is state funded, a lot of local infrastructure like bridges are locally funded leaving behind massive local debt hangover. now central gov needs to reform and centralize the borrowing, otherwise all this infrastructure maintenance will stop

Great China 🇨🇳 ever great 👍 in the world 🌎 Taipei or Taiwan it’s too China 🇨🇳 it’s never ever been independent & country from mainland China 🇨🇳 👍

I completely agree with your point about high-speed rail potentially bringing economic benefits in other areas. Afraid of flying, I only travel by high-speed rail wherever I go; it's incredibly convenient. The beneficiaries are not just me, but the entire nation. I am eagerly looking forward to the new high-speed rail under development, which will reach speeds of 1000 kilometers per hour. This way, the 1300-kilometer journey from Beijing to Shanghai will take only 1.5 hours!

As for as I know, many of the Chinese rail lines are subcontracted to the Private Sector, which really proves their efficiency.

China practices socialism caring for the masses and not the elites . The rich can afford luxury on their own expense. China high speed rail is like their superb multi-lane highways around the country and operating at a loss. The State owned companies have many projects running at a loss also. But because of these infrastructures, China has progressed at a fast rate that shocked the world.

Public transportation mean public service, it doesn't mean for profit.
