China today stands as the most aggressively innovative force in modern history. What truly matters isn’t just the number of patents,it’s the sheer volume of high-tech, cutting-edge developments they’re churning out. These innovations are reshaping global industries at breakneck speed.

And soon enough, the West, clinging to its fading dominance, will have only one bitter word left to scream: “Stolen”

  • I thought the ghost cities thing was about building places that no one lived, not about the quality being low. It has been awhile.

    No you’re right, the poor construction thing is a different anti china meme, the ghost city thing was propaganda like, they’re wasting concrete and labor to do useless work just to juice their gdp. Like this is a game of vic3 and gdp means something real

    But then it turns out years later people moved into them and the infrastructure is being used, like, westerners just took the ground work for a plan having no results and ran propaganda on that.

    But then it turns out, ironically also like a game of vic3, building infrastructure for future growth is a good thing to do, who knew

    There’s separate anti China memes about construction quality, bad concrete or whatever, idk

      Yeah, and honestly the construction issues seem to happen more in other countries. There’s that big scandal right now with the building that collapsed in the Thai earthquakes, the only building in the area to collapse and the most recently built, and which the company touted their earthquake resistant design.

      but yes, the crackers being confused about planning things in advanced that will affect millions of people’s lives was a good one. It’s amazing how many waves of anti-China memes that have happened over the years, and to look back now on how China’s development has just changed everything.
