I really don't understand the obsession to turn CCP in some kind of "saint",.
Japan was nuked and destroyed in 1945 but it came back to where it is today and it did not need CCP. South Korea and Singapore was absolute s*** hole in 1945, they are no longer s*** holes and they did not need CCP.
My point is that Chinese people are hard working people, however the first 30 years of its existence CCP strangled China. Deng Xioping realized that CCP needs to stay out of people's lives for economic growth. America helped China by providing education to 250,000 students and in return China trained Afghan Mujahedeen.
Unfortunately CCP also trained Uyghurs to go and fight in Afghanistan.
I disagree. In 1949 Mao inherited a China that was devastated by years of civil war, war against warlord and war against Japan. On top of that, KMT had fled with all of China's gold bullion to Taiwan, a small province of less than 20million.
Japan was already a develop country with an educated population after they lost the war. So for them to rebuild was easier. China was more a 4th world country. So I would not compare 1949 China with Japan.
Taiwan actually escape most of WW2 without being bomb much. Taiwan was also a relatively developed by Japan as a model of Japanese colony to show to the world. Taiwan also developed the most under CKS dictatorship as expected with all of China's stolen treasure.
China's development in the last 40 years is unheard of. It cannot be compared. Not just the infrastructure like high speed rail, roads, ports and bridges. But also in space, sports, deep sea exploration, high tech like super computers, 5G, cell phone etc.
ALL THESE DOES NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT. This is because China is obviously run by smart people chosen by a very competent CCP.
Just look at the US political system. If you think there is nothing wrong with the US political system, you need to wake up and smell the coffee.
I can't wait to watch the US senator race coming in about 1 year. Cant wait to see the politicians throw shit, lie and blame at each other for all of US problems. Like illegal immigration, fragmented medical system, the out of control Covid spreading, police reforms, BLM, homeless population that is now also too big to solve.
It all boils down to
good governance. Visited China several times, its about those little things you notice that tell you all you need to know about the CCP. The clean streets including the back streets. There are no clutter on the walkways. People are well dressed, well fed even in poorer provinces like Yunnan and Sichuan (Even Tibetan Janitors in JuiZhaiGou when work finish changed to their nice winter coats to go home) . Not to mention, it was safe to walk at night in dark back street too. Yes, in LiJiang, Yunnan, Me and my wife walk all the way from my hotel to the 1000 years old ancient city at night holding a tourist map and yes using GOGGLE MAP !
