While China is now very wealthy and developed, it has nothing to do with the people! Of China's 1.4 billion people, over 1 billion have never flown on a plane, and over 500 million earn less than $300 a month! The strength you see in China is actually the strength of the Chinese Communist Party, not the people! The strength you see is their propaganda machine showing you what they want you to see. Why? Because the Chinese Communist Party likes to acquire and invest in local news media companies around the world, promoting everything for them!
