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.

I have a question. Who, ever, in real life has shit their pants? Not talking about people with medical issues, but afaik we can hold it in if needed. And we can shit in other places than just toilets, like in the woods or wherever. Shitting in your pants seems an interesting choice indeed. How does lack of toilet paper make one shit their pants?

Don't people like this ever experience times when there in fact are no toilets around to shit in? Like during a long nature hike does this guy carry a toilet with him to be able to not shit his pants?

Have you never gambled and lost with a fart?

Once or twice, I had diarrhea as an adult, and thought it was a fart, and wound up sharting.

Can't be that uncommon.

Can't say that I have.

I also tend to not go around touristing if I have diarrhea.

I am talking about adult humans on average being pretty capable of not shitting their pants.

This guy is saying he shat his pants many times in China because no toilet paper or public toilets. There aren't really any public toilets where I live either, apart from in malls and such where using them costs money. I still manage not to shit my pants and I think most people do.
