The Chinese agricultural system is a modern miracle, feeding over a billion people to such a high standard with the limited amount of land and resources they have. China has one third of the arable land of the United States, yet they feed four times more people, to a higher standard even!
Bro no joke when watching the Olympics there were Americans mad that the Chinese were winning swimming and guys were on about “that country putting on a display of power for their country while their people are starving”. Shit I seen I was wondering what century I’m in
My mom made the comment China forces their people to become athletes against their will. In my head, I thought “Oh as opposed to the US who has kids subject themselves to traumatic brain injuries every week or else they don’t get to go to college and lose their scholarships?”
Yeah people be saying that but theres enormous push back on college athletes getting paid despite the crazy revenue the sports brings in.
And they speak of athletes from young age being selected as candidates for certain sports from youth like its the rapture. It gets comical
It’s pretty funny because almost every high level professional who’s been training since childhood (e.g. art, music, academics, sports) will face some abuse from their mentors. Maybe with the exception of skateboarders and athletes who aren’t part of a dynasty.
A colleague of mine said the same thing when he heard I was going to China, “aren’t they all starving over there”. I was so taken aback by the stupidity of what he said that I couldn’t really come back with a snappy reply, but all I could think was, how out of date is your racist propaganda? That’s what is truly incredible about the propaganda in the west, some people are literally still informing themselves on stuff they heard 50 years ago.
: “concerning! The evil CCP forces its citizens to care for their health, denying hardworking insurance companies their well-deserved profits and will hurt the economy at large! Besides, creating a better society for poors instead of the business class is so….weird…alien and other thinly veiled racist remarks to dehumanize China!”

Mandem acting blind towards the level of depravity that happened in the womens gymanstics team
I feel like all the propaganda about enemies kinda mixes together for a lot of people

I remember when i was younger, the phrase “this could feed a whole village in Africa/China” was common lol
People are so much healthier here. It’s very inspiring. Made me start taking an interest in my physical health again.
Definitely impressive but don’t they also import a lot of food?
Net importer of about $137 billion deficit for food. This is a tenfold increase from 2003.
lol no, china imports more food than anyone else.
