what do you think of China?

It's a massive continent, with literally thousands of years of history.

You are a person who has read Chinese history

They've got tons of history sure but they never learn from it or change they way they live.

If you understand anything about 'face' over there basically it's an analogy for their race. Patch over the cracks and make a good outwards appearance without changing anything fundamental.

Even with their half-effective meritocracy and internal corruption, they've had the biggest change of any country for the past 50 years.

They purged 1 million of their own members for corruption and completely revamped the way the government and businesses operate. Financial corruption and "connections" used to be the standard practice. It still exists, but has been scaled down 100 fold. The reason buildings used to fall apart in China is because contractors would switch out building materials for cheaper products and keep the difference.

Your description sounds more like the West. If the pedo countries purged 1 million of their own government agents for corruption and child rape, then it would be a pretty decent fundamental change, but only a start compared to Chinese politics.

Western politics have problems too but from a fundemental trust issue in almost any engineering scenario the Chineese skim 1% out of every process leading to catastrophe along the way.

The West with it's leader nonce problem is more of a wait until the people are starving due to brain damaged midwit middle managers bogging up the system.

It's hard to say really and I can't even trust my own words but at this point I feel that China will have too many holes in it's stagnent system to evolve and I have hope that things get hard enough for regular people in the West to fix the real problems in it's system.

The West has problems in it's leadership But China has problems with it's core philosophy.

don't judge a book by its cover
