Again dealing with rampant corruption by both local officials and businesses is a top reason Chinese people mention as to why they left China for the US.



There is no evidence of that.



At least we aren't like China and have such a problem that people are actually fleeing the country in droves instead of just migrating to a different area.

There are businessmen who specialize in immigration and smuggling to deceive Chinese people into the United States.
There are also people who have been brainwashed by the United States for a long time and suffered miserably after arriving in the United States.


You don't know that there are fewer high-end jobs because you don't belong to the group of high-end jobs!

Time is running out for America! Good luck!

Well they can always run back ✈️ 🏃🏾🏃🏾🏃🏾 en-mass...nobody is stopping them...but they don't. Still millions of Chinese here as US citizens no matter what excuse or rationale you try to appease yourself with.

Apparently any suffering they supposedly receive in the US is just very minor compared to back in China. 😩

That's correct because unlike in Europe the US population since the 1950's has been moving out of dense multi-unit US cities and into single-family housing.

While most of the world is urbanizing we are de-urbanizing.

While 17% of Turkey's population lives in just Instanbul...only ~10% of the US population lives in our top 20 biggest cities. If I list the top 50 biggest US cities by population the total just crosses 20%. This is a far different situation than you would expect to see in Europe.

The US population is far more spread out...hence the car culture.

Bro. I know the "Not just bikes" guy has a problem with the suburbs and loves his city life in Amsterdam but people are ditching dense cities in droves here in the US as a life choice and all his crying isn't going to bring them all back.

Many of the points he makes about European cities were actually common in cities here like Boston. Considering the NorthEast was mostly European immigrants you'd expect some of that to rub off in the ways people lived.

Trollys went up and down the streets very often. Shops were on the first floors of buildings and people lived on the upper floors of multi-unit buildings. You can still see that to this very day.

The difference was that the US had cheap cheap cheap cheap oil and Europe didn't. This is why the two diverged so much when the automobile became popular.

Since gasoline was dirt cheap people could build modern huge single family homes away from the city landlords and have their own quiet "castles" with possibly a pool/garden/deck/patio and maybe an acre or two of land. This simply was not practical in Europe.

This led to the units above those city shops to be undesirable for people with money. Which then led to the first floor shops switching to lower end specialties like laundromats. This also led to trolleys reducing their run times due to a lack of ridership.
