in reply to shortstories • — (Shoreline, WA, USA) •@shortstories Yea not sure why the Chinese hate club is hyperactive today but I'd hardly call EU's condition today "peaked" or Chinas "in decline".
Let's put things in perspective, China has taken 800 million people out of poverty in less than a generation, EU seems determined to plunge everyone into it.
China has a train system that is the envy of the world, Europe has a mish-mash of incompatible systems.
China is building a solid nuclear power base and even has an operational molten salt reactor. Europe has windmills and solar panels, mostly displacing former food production land, that occasionally when the weather is favorable, generate electricity, at about twice the cost of the US and four or five times that of China.
China has sovereign borders, EU has none.
China has become largely food self-sufficient, Europe keeps killing their own food production capacity.
So how exactly did the EU "Overtake" China?
