America is apparently not as advanced as China because our buildings don't have nightly light shows.
Why is China so much more advanced than the United States?

It's kind of strange to talk about the advancement of the United States when you apparently choose to live in Nicaragua. Not exactly the most modern society.
Go figure🙄

Maybe Benjamin should focus on the country he lives in.
China isn’t “more advanced” overall — it’s just faster and more centralized. When a one-party government decides to build something, there’s no Congress, no elections, no public pushback, so things move at lightning speed.

But that speed comes with a cost: less freedom, less…
When the government controls everything, they can move pretty fast on development.
They are not more advanced. We possess the technology to do that but, in the US, you would have to get every individual building owner to agree. In China, the government or the party owns the majority of those building and can easily command other owner to participate.

So why aren't millions of migrants trying to move to China?

If China is so great, we have a whole bunch of illegals we'll be happy to send them.

When Americans do go live in China, they stay a few years and then can't wait to return. They rarely stay.
Because it isn't?

When you gut human rights and can force people to work for below poverty level wages without privacy rights, free speech, or due process you can build things cheaply and then harvest the organs of any noncompliant workers in case any elite members of the Party need spare parts.

GE, an American company, invented LED lights.

That China uses them in gaudy fashion doesn’t make them more advanced. https://t.co/VeBN4lZSDi
Literally, China needs our technology to even do their little light show.
