    LOL how ignorant is that! You evidently have never been to China , I have been there 25 years ago and again 4 years ago, big difference in 20 years, they are beating us on infrastructure and high tech products, such as robotics. The poverty rate is also dropping 8.5 percent of people were in poverty in 2013, which decreased to 1.7 percent in 2018. Also massive build projects in their countryside

    And this claim that we heard for a couple of decades that we dont need to worry because the Chinese cant innovate was pure BullShit.

    What’s next for poverty reduction policies in China?

    China’s poverty reduction success since 1980 is primarily a story of sustained economic growth. The first decade of reform saw rapid income gains in agriculture, as China removed some of the biggest distortions of the Mao era. In the second decade, industry took the leading role, both in urban and rural areas, as reforms widened and deepened. During the third decade, the dynamism of China’s export-oriented coastal areas spread further inland, as migration to the urban centers accelerated, infrastructure investments (such as with the “Western Development Strategy”) multiplied, and a growing proportion of China’s territory became economically integrated into global value chains. This decade also saw an expansion of China’s social policies, including place-based interventions in the most backward counties and the creation of a basic safety net for China’s rural population. During the final decade, these social policies were widened, culminating in the targeted poverty eradication campaign of the past five years. Only during this final period did transfers become a more important driver of poverty reduction than labor incomes (see Figure 1).

    China supports a 'China First' policy.
    They don't have Rubes that scream "But, that's Socialism".
    'Whatever it takes', is their policy.

    The Chinese have the advantage over the West and especially America in that they still understand human nature.

    They are so going to kick our ass.

    We even recently were able to think five quarters ahead.

    Now we struggle to think five weeks ahead.
