They just tear them down anyway and rebuild new ones. property scams and investments drives a lot of the economy over there
True, but do keep in mind that the enormous opportunity costs of all that wasted investment (pus wasted time and effort) is going to haunt the Chinese economy for decades to come. They've been trying to ameliorate the situation via upping state investment in "advanced technologies," but they're fucking up there as well - supply has now vastly outstripped domestic demand with price collapses the inevitable result. It's also made China more reliant on exports than ever, which is (a) contrary to Xi's directive to prioritize the domestic consumer and (b) easier said than done, as the US is far from the only country in the world currently having issues with China's predatory/dishonest trade policies.

China is way more fucked than we are, but it sure don't feel that way boss.
They have their issues, to be sure - they're not the inevitable economic juggernaut that they've been pretending to be. In any case, there's no point in dooming like you've been (especially when you base that dooming on very shaky grounds). Lighten up, friend - I promise you things in the US aren't nearly as bad as the shills, bots, chinks and jeets would have you believe.
 
Or it could simply be that an illiterate schizophrenic pedophile bought jewish texts and a jew to read them, started a murder-rape-plunder cult based on his insane interpretations, and his movement had such unfortunately good timing they were able to take down the Eastern Romans, the Sassanids, and the entire North African coast and most of Iberia, and we've been dealing with the results ever since.
There's one problem, muhammad was even dumber than you think as he was supposedly illiterate. Granted that's probably just cope so mudslimes can say "muhammad didn't write the quran because he was illiterate so obviously God wrote it.....because he just did okay!"

On the other hand muhammad was too stupid to figure out napkins (the reason mudslimes never have mustaches is because muhammad was too dumb to figure out how to use napkins).

Islam as a whole is basically if a religion formed around a cow like CWC. The hadiths literally read like a thread about a cow to the point you can imagine PPP and Warski yelling about it. "THIS IS THE CRAZIEST SHOW EVER! WOOOOAHH BUDDDDYYYY MUHAMMAD IS GETTING FUCKED BY MEN IN THE DESERT AND FORCING HIS FRIENDS TO WATCH? HE'S GAY! HE'S ZUTTED! HE'S GOT SAND IN HIS ASSHOLE!"
 
he watches all the ticktok ads for how advanced Chinese technology is with the cool robot dogs and reads all the fake cyclical Google articles about what new technology China has stolen and failed at replicating properly. The most China has succeeded in lately has been their belton road deals with African slaves and the Wuhan virus. (Even that was stolen)
*belt and road

Moron.
 
I had an apartment with a 12' kitchen ceiling and a smoke alarm up there. When it started to chirp one night after the maintenance office had already closed, I jumped up and hook/smacked it down with a frying pan. Ironically, only my nigger-like vertical leap made it possible to stop the chirp. (I once dunked a basketball.)
Why do you have 12' ceilings and not own a ladder

Do you just light candles once too many bulbs burn out?
 
Falun Gong sponsored/funded of course, but no less accurate despite that.
All the Falun Gong blame whenever someone shits on the chinks will never cease to make me laugh. It's as hilarious as when Stalin claimed Trotsky was behind the wreckers from his hotel that didn't even exist in Denmark or whatever. "We're being undermined by those dastardly ballet dancers and their tai chi practicing overlords!" Now if you'll excuse me the Columbia Record Club is currently breaking down my door to murder me for the undeniable TROOFS I have posted, the jannies are helping them for this double post.

We should fire the TSA and replace them with ICE
Yup. ICE or CBP.

Also, this is why you should never travel with cash (especially in an airport) unless absolutely essential (and you need to have a very good reason why it's "essential"). If you simply must have cash at the destination, it is arguably cheaper, safer, faster and more secure to get it from an ATM, bank or exchange at the destination rather than risking carrying it through the transit network. Remember most countries now consider "carrying cash in any amount" to be "suspicious" even if it's perfectly legal, and especially even when you "register" or "declare" it in advance.

Even if you're carrying below the amount you're legally required to "declare," if you're found carrying a couple thousand in cash, they will still consider you suspicious and will find any excuse they can to detain and question you, confiscate it and subject it to civil forfeiture. The biggest cash thieves at airports are government officials, not fellow passengers, loiterers or (non-government) career criminals. Never carry any unless you absolutely have to. And don't let it out of your sight if you do.

Cash, passport and printed (paper) boarding pass are three things that always stay on my person when going through a security screening checkpoint (though I never carry cash anymore when traveling anyway). Driver's license can stay with the wallet. Proof of purchase of safe passage (i.e. lawful entry to and presence in "sterile" area)? Nope. Passport? Absolutely not.

"All belongings and personal items and bags on the belt." No sir. My passport stays on my person or, if being presented to an agent, stays in my eyesight at all times. There's a reason they verify identity in a separate step prior to physical screening (i.e. to protect you from having some shithead scanner operator decide to keep your passport). Separating me from my passport in the absence of lawful detention with adequate legal representation is a violation of my fundamental human rights and is considered a crime against humanity by pretty much every government on this planet (it amounts to imprisonment since without it, you cannot safely/lawfully travel between countries or prove your citizenship quickly).

Ironically all those people whining about ICE doing illegal things and CBP being meanies? Yeah, "stealing passports" and "robbing travelers" is the classic gestapo China-style shit they should be screaming about when shitbag TSA and customs agents do it. And it happens every day with nary a peep by these liberal faggots.

ETA:
All the Falun Gong blame whenever someone shits on the chinks
It's not "blame" -- they're rightfully pissed at China and have their hands in all sorts of jars helping everyone shit on China as much as possible, and it's delightful. I love pointing it out because I think it's really fucking funny. Chinks deserve to be shit on and I adore the fact that there's an entire political organization dedicated to the practice.
 
China will never do that because party bosses would have to pay their workers fair wages instead of siphoning all the money to themselves.
I think the directive was more along the lines of redirecting the economy away from exports and more toward the domestic market, lol, the theory being a rising tide lifts all boats. As for corruption, that's a given in China, and pretty much everyone there indulges in it to the best of their ability. They're pretty good at it.

My point is that in order to have a consumer economy, there has to be consumers and in order to have consumers, people besides high-ranking CCP members have to have money.

The CCP's greed will ensure that they will always be export-dependent.

Any and every major economy is dependent on exports to one degree or another, and that's unlikely to change. China's exports are ~20% of its GDP (they were as high as 36% two decades ago). Japanese exports as a % of GDP are around 22%; Taiwan's are 70%, worst Korea's are 44% and the US's are 11%. Compared to its neighbors/competitors China's #s aren't out of whack, though they're not where the CCP would like them to be.
