Interesting that the top comment on the great achievement of a country that had the majority of people in abject poverty 30 years ago, is an old trope that downplays their massive advances in technology that's leaving some in the west look silly. E.g. green energy production, China is mocked as a place full of smog but their government realised smog is bad but necessary for power so they had to keep being smoggy until they spent hundreds of billions on green energy. Their turbine and solar panel production puts the west to shame, and their installation numbers are nuts.

There's a reason the American president is literally having to ban American companies from having stuff made in China, the American government hates that China has vastly superior hi tech industry and is trying to force American investors to build that capability in the US.

American companies shift production because of the lower labor costs. That’s it. I wouldn’t use companies/corporations as your bellwether since all they care about is profit.

They are making the US look pathetic in green energy initiatives.
