I wish we (the USA) would take this opportunity to recognize China does some things in certain circumstances better than us and capitalize on that.

- Infrastructure (public transportation and high speed rail is far superior in China)

- Reproductive rights for women (abortion is available for all women in China)

There are others, but it doesn't need to be a battle. China has a ton of issues too (non-free media, Xinjiang situation, an 'end justifies the means' like view on things, lack of direct representation in their "democracy", etc.).

We should take the good and reject the bad. All of the posturing is bad for the world at large, I think.



Reproductive rights? Funny. Yes, they can get an abortion. But there was a time, rather recently, when they literally did not have the right to reproduce.


I mean sure yes. There was also a time in the USA where Black people were not even considered a "full" human being.
