    I love a lot of their stuff like the railway construction and the socialism. Their political structure is atrocious, though.

      Ancient Aliens vibes.

      “These savages had no contact with civilized Europeans at the time. It must have been an advanced alien civilization. Its too absurd to think these savages could have done it themselves”

    Barrett on YT is great proof. He’s an English “expat” (aka Immigrant but I digress, I don’t wanna get into a whole thing) that moved to China. Idk exactly when it happened, but he got breast cancer and was very fortunately able to get chemotherapy and even surgery in China. I don’t wanna get too into it but those videos filled me with such joy, pure happiness from seeing someone suffering given what they need without a million doctors and insurance companies jumping in and talking about it first. He’s since gotten better and makes videos to this day. OBVIOUSLY China is not a utopia and it has its problems, but it gives me so much hope for what the future may hold, against my mostly doomer mindset
