Why is it so hard for americans to understand that you were subsidized to do this by trade dominating and exploiting the rest of the world? It is like a country rich on resources that ran out if, and then wonders where all the sweet quality of life went. You fucked up your diplomatic and trade Empire, and China won it over.
You still have it much better than 95%+ of the rest of the globe ever did, enjoy it while it lasts.
There are millions of people in China right now who have been working for 2-8 months without payment...and deliver drivers who have a phd from Oxford and are earning $5/hr. A government is one thing, but the experience of individuals can be drastically different.
