China is just very unscrupulous and willing to do whatever it takes to win. If you look at their country its basically a nightmare goggles world, almost nothing is pure, everything is polluted and corrupted.

However to be fair, China did blow us the fuck out and I will admit that. What we do better is make movies and they have been rescuing our film industry by actually paying for our shit. So we sorta BTFO them there.

Trump tried to warn us.

Essentially, China's culture glorifies money and success and in the West, these things are passe' even evil. We'll see how they survive either dying en masse from disease or the inevitable environmental movement that kills their economy.

You are now aware the that Chinese government has already earmarked $2.5tn over the next decade for clean energy investments.

You guys are blind. During the Japanese boom, like 17 companies of the top 20 companies in the world was Japanese origin. Shit crashed so fast with one strike in their core system. Fundamentally speaking, America has far more safety net in the economy compared to any other countries in the world. Dollar currency, University system, Super consumption tendency, Immigration infow, massive information accumulation rate, etc. China doesn't have the hard and soft infrastructure to overcome the burden on their social structure.

It's understandable that Western companies fail to succeed in China. The business culture is hostile and so is the government.

No seriously, Europe is already fucked and the US is running towards the cliff getting ever closer to irreversible free fall. At some point in the future I might have to emigrate from Western Europe to China, and that is pretty fuckin sad.

Chinese are dirty fraud fucks. Rampant cheating and backwards dealing goes on in that country and they've rotted to the core. They have empty cities lol

They're never really going to catch up because that would entail giving up the two things that keep them in the race. Extreme corruption and dirt cheap labor

China might not be capitalist by governmental design, but their culture very much is. Only through hard work and sharp wit can you compete with the billion other people wanting to get of squalor with you.

The US' cultural attitude would change, too, if instead of having the a poor underclass that can swing the vote constantly voting for the party that ensures benefits, welfare was completely abolished and people were left to die in the streets.

Oh, you'd see a very sharp increase in small fortunes amassed through corruption and brutality from both the poorest and richest, and it would only ooze its way into the already weak middle class and everything would become terrible.

The Chinese actually do not like taking risks, and prefer to do things that have been tried and true (i.e. rip off intellectual property). Many lower-class Chinese are quite healthy, relying on traditional medicine and a good diet to live well past the age of 90. All that wealth accumulation eventually goes to their grandchildren. Since the one-child law was in effect in the late 20th century, many Chinese yuppies are the sole inheritors of the wealth of four grandparents.

Also, the Chinese love American culture.

"America" in Chinese is "Mei Guo", literally "Beautiful Kingdom", and many Chinese try really hard to understand and duplicate American culture

I've lived in an "empty city" before. These boom towns were built by provincial governments, possibly with subsidies by the central government. They're quite dangerous, because a lot of new vehicle owners (farmers who decided to try and make it in a city) don't know the traffic laws and there are no traffic lights. I've seen a five way intersection with no traffic lights

People only see what the media portrays, and American newscasters rarely go to the sprawling countryside of China, where there are Bamboo forests as far as the eye can see, and river valleys studded with dinosaur fossils in the sedimentary banks.

It's just that some parts are so crowded that pollution is inevitable. I lived in Portland, OR, where pollution is just starting to become a problem with all the homeless people moving there. I've also lived in Shanghai, which by population is 24 times the size of Portland. Obviously it was much dirtier, but you don't see any homeless people because there is a tight family structure in China. If you're not doing well, you go live with a cousin, not on the streets.

So chinks take your money then copy your idea?

That's all I can see. How many times have you seen innovation from China? I mean real innovation, not just blowing existing things up or doing the same thing but more?

All of the people talking about China taking over the world have either never been to China or are nationalistic Chinese.

Go over there sometime. The idea of their companies being anything more than propped up by corruption and collusion in a very large market is laughable. Their country has swaths that are more or less uninhabitable, and their inability to get anything done due to corruption is a fucking joke. If you think that China is taking over anything unless the West is stupid enough to keep playing ball ad infinitum then you have a surprise coming.

Now when Chinese money moves out of China in liquid form, it may become competitive outside of that environment.

Gonna need some statistics, graphs, citations you fucking faggot

Yes, mostly they're disorganized as fuck in many professional environments and usually need Western leadership, are generally oblivious to their surroundings, and are robots. There is also a lot of nepotism, but that's more of a cultural thing. But they've been educating their kids abroad (i.e. in our countries), and are already making the shift to a more service-based economy. They are also smart enough to successfully invest in our countries.

Also, what's with this bullshit about corruption? Do you think it's any different in Western nations? At the highest level, almost everybody is colluding, and/or corrupt to some degree. You would be, too, in their position.

On another note, they pay well, and your purchasing power is higher over there. Not to mention they usually provide you with accommodation. China is where we all should be.

Confirmed for deeply naive or Chinese if you think that, say, American corruption on a day to basis even comes close to the level of corruption in China.

Ahh yes surely $3.5 trillion in exports is just "corruption and collusion".

What are all those foreign buyers doing? Don't they realize that China is just "corruption and collusion"? Why do they buy from obviously horrible and evil people?

It's impossible that Chinese actually make things worth buying. Absurd!

These are two examples of which there are many. Sometimes you can actually get a good deal from China though. It seems to kind of work out that in the end you pay about the same as in the West after averaging bargains and scams.

You need to make sure you have some leverage on them and be happy to use it though. PayPal or some charge back facility. I don't what you use for $50,000 steel deals but you need something because otherwise you can forget it, you will get screwed.

Any way, not to be racist or anything but I would say it's best when dealing with Chinese to act with the assumption that they are not human and are out to fuck you whenever you're not looking or can't do anything about it. Don't believe their shit when you confront them, they know they are screwing you and will just prey on your western humanity if you give them the benefit of the doubt.
