To pretend the that the standard of living in China is as high as it is in most Western countries is to lie. It is really that simple.
To pretend that China isn't overtaking you in all things (and it has overtaken you in many)... is a lie.
It really is as simple as that.
Their "middle class" is already bigger than the total number of American consumers.
That means they are bigger and better already. And they haven't even started yet. LOL
"I know some Chinese guys and they love it in China"
Man-Child fibs.
I know Chinese people and I know Pakistani people who visit China (the pics were taken by some of them) and I know one guy from Karachi, who lives there for half a year every year.
They say it's an absolutely fantastic place.
Anyway, if you wish to believe it is not to your standard, then give it a few more years and then compare. LOL
Specially since the US is taking a nose-dive and China is rocketing upwards.
My cousin went to China 20 years ago and he said it was the most awful place on earth.
Perhaps Daddy Goatee also took a trip 20 years ago once.
NOW however, I hear very different stories (positive) by visitors to China.
Their speed of change is remarkable.
