It will be in 10 years when a majority of their country has access to it. Industrialization in China is on a different level.
In less than 25 years they will take the top spot for global economy, and likely everything else.
Yep, and in ten years, we’ll still be arguing about whether dsl counts as “broadband”
China will be lucky if they still exist as a single unified nation. Demographics, employment, debt, over built property market, over dependence on manufacturing exports, energy import dependence, food import dependence.
They have a number of very strong headwinds that could very well cause the failure and break up of the CCP in the next twenty years.
Have you ever stepped food into China? I have. And I can tell you from personal experience they're living in the future.
They have their own fair share of problems. But the investments they're making into infrastructure are very easily going to catapult them to the head of the class here very shortly...
I'm really tired of being told how distopian China is from people who've never even been there.
Yeah I've been there a bunch and this city centers are definitely impressive. There is plenty of dystopian shit though. Obviously the Internet situation is weird, but I've been basically told I can't go up to my hotel room without my Chinese sponsor.
OK
the us will be lucky if it exists at all in the future
We’ll be around. We may not be a democracy but we’ll be around.
China though, it’s cooked .
