In a recent video on Twitter, he compared the China of today to 2019 and was completely shocked at the speed to progress and change. Says it’s like stepping into the future.

1 - Automation: From trains to taxis to purchases - everything is done seamlessly with super Apple Pay.

2 - EV: 30%-40% of the cars are fully electric. You can get Teslas but you have Chinese brands that offer sedans for $10k.

3 - The air is much cleaner. Partly due to EVs.

4 - People are more respectful of societal norms. There is better service everywhere you go.

5 - Less foreigners, even in touristy areas. Most white people are actually Russian.

6 - In factories, robots do the work in contrast to the perception people have in the US of China just throwing cheap labor at every problem. Factories set up their own e-commerce platforms and sell directly on China’s TikTok.

7 - It feels like over the past 5 years, everything by in China just got better, while everything in the US just got worse.

He framed it as China becoming more "civilized" where people no longer piss on the street or spit at your feet, and public washrooms have toilet paper (his excuse for why he used to shit his pants all the time).

I feel like after the first time I would just start bringing my own roll

Ikr? And/or just doing a game theory and shitting in the toilet anyways, since it's better to have less shit than more shit in your pants. Fulfilling the stupid American stereotype by walking around with shit in his pants and still daring to call the people subjected to the smell "uncivilized".

Yeah, like most women in the west have had to do always, because public toilets are always out of paper.

Wtf literally just wash your ass with water and soap.

I can't tell how advanced China is because the West is so backwards.
