It's actually really sad how cynical you are. You smugly look down on anyone who has hope in anything. China must be just as bad as the US because nothing ever gets better.

I'm so sorry.

No, I look at their trajectory and recognize them as a progressive force.

They already live longer than people in my country. What's next?

They may be a progressive force (as in a driving force in global politics / dynamics) but that does not mean it has to be positive. And it‘s not cynical if you look at the massive human rights violation, the treatment of opposition or ethical minorities in China. I do not want any of that. But if you want to trade it for a few years of your life go for it.

Well I live in America, and we kinda already have all of that. In fact, our prison populations are even bigger and our cops kill more people.
