As i always say to critics , visit china and compare it to the top countries u have visited. Like Japan , south korea, singapore , Dubai , etc u will find that china is the best !
No joke there.
Taiwan can't even dream to compete with china. I visited taiwan its way better than pakistan or india but its decades behind china. In the past chinese looked up to hong Kong and taiwanese people as they had prejudice against mainland people a superiority complex.
Now i love watchijg their reaction when they arrive at mainland cities and are wonder struck!
And china has only started
i have no doubt in my mind that until the year 2120 A.D no country can catch up to chinese level of development.
