    China will be the best country in the world the same day fusion reactors will be available. Always in ten years. No matter when you read this.

      Depends on how you define “best,” I suppose. I’d say we are already there.

        You’d have to have a pretty strange version of best to call an authoritarian country as such

          All governments are authoritarian, as in they exert authority. What matters is which class is being represented, which class is exerting its authority. China is democratic. It doesn’t have a western liberal democracy, but it does have a comprehensive Socialist democracy. You can read this article talking about why the Chinese democratic model is in place and why the people support it, or this article on how the Chinese model of democracy works in contrast to western democracy, or this short video on how it works, or this video on how elections work, or this article on the makeup of the NPC.

          By what metrics is China not democratic? What mechanically would they have to change for you to accept the opinions of the Chinese citizenry on their own system? I recommend this introduction to SWCC, it goes in-detail about how elections and the democratic model work in China. what mechanically would China have to change in order for you to accept the system that the Chinese have implemented by and for themselves, and approve of at rates exceeding 90%?

            Yeah I deleted that when I noticed. I’m curious how you saw it actually… Because I immediately deleted it

              What? I don’t know what you deleted but I didn’t see it. I just pointed out you’re replying to an .ml account.

                My first comment the one you replied to, is deleted on my end.?

                  Perhaps deleting messages on Lemmy doesn’t work how you think?

                    Yeah. Now I’m wondering how it does. I had assume deletion on my end would delete for all. Is that determined by server if it does or something I suppose?

      I thought it was the Chinese AI we had to worry about. But if you hook the Chinese AI to the Chinese Nuclear Reactors… game over man. Game over.

      Ten years from now, China will be in freefall down. Demographics.
