I did say we are not ahead of the US individually, but man you gotta come to China one day. I have been to a few US cities, and let me tell you, the inner cities is like slightly better than India. The infrastructure is creaky, the interstate has holes, the metro system is creaky. Freedom of speech, let's not start that debate shall we. US has got selective freedom, we all know that.
You are starting to sound like an Indian.
The Poorest state in US , Mississippi is still richer than China by about $15K . US is universally developed across its area . Majority of its Suburbs , Towns and Villages have the same quality of life as cities and are very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. It's not selectively developed like China where you guys keep posting pictures of few select areas in the city . If you go to rural Minnesota or Montana you can bet you get the same things you get in urban areas . In China we all know how your villages and towns are , you can keep posting those select few videos to fool the world .
In term of people development, US is certainly ahead China, since US is a developed country while China is developing country.
However in term of city's infrastructure it may not be like that; the top tier Chinese cities could be more developed than the top tier US cities.
Talking about freedom and democracy, they are not basic/prime or even secondary human needs. What for you have election freedom but living poor? or living under high crime rate environment? or have insufficient infrastructure or health care access? talking about comparing with Pakistan, India etc
Now talking about comparing with US. Yes US may have pride of freedom for election etc, but China's people have their own pride such as the meteoritical progress of their country, living in very low crime rate society, this could compensate the feeling of pride due to freedom for election democracy etc.
Can the Chinese criticise their government and protest against them? It's like ruling a group of robots where you have no say in anything. Majority of the infrastructure in US was built almost a century ago or 60-70 years ago . China built its infrastructure in last decade . How are you competing in other Indexes ? Do you need me to copy all those indexes where China is behind even Syria and Ethiopia or Thailand let alone US?
