china has so low brand trust you had to include tesla , china had to change "made in china" for "made in prc" in order to fool people people buy chinese products because they flood the market with subsidized trash build with stolen technology, maybe people from rich countries dont care but here chinese products are not even cheap and the quality is times lower from the products made in korea/taiwan/japan, and is not only technology others like the clothing industry is flooded with chinese trash, what softpower can a country gain if they only cheat and trick poorer countries?

ok so name better product than te product i listed

can you find better electric car than tesla ?

for huawei, xiaomi i put them same level than apple, they suck, go with samsung android

for lenovo people seem happy with their lenovo laptop, i can understand you prefer asus and acer, both are great

pico is currently the only meta competitor

Didn’t China have a famine in the 1990s where a whole bunch of people died?

The quality of life will decline everywhere except probably in Africa due to the aging population. By 2050, China will have 500 million people over 60 years of age (insolvent population). Because of the one family one child rule. At the moment, India has the largest young labour force and stands a chance of replicating China's economic success.

especially when they give up physical money and going to force people to use smartphone to pay bill ?

I swear they even got a Minecraft version with cash shops on it. China is so strange you need to give your social security number to play games. It's not that they are poor it's that many services are super cheap. But China got so much societal issues too.

You mean minecraft bedrock? With its Minecraft Market place

In cities maybe better than us generally but in the suburb it doesn't catch up yet. but they have a bigger population than the us and the rest so it is way more competitive in everything. Not ideal for a happy mental state for sure

They included Tesla because it's a car company that still sells cars despite having some of the lowest brand trust on the planet now. Worst part, Teslas aren't cheap despite their shoddy quality. They're the Apple of PC gaming.

The funny part of it all. Each player having to give their SIN card to play a game would be the only way you could ever stop cheating. But ironically enough the majority of cheaters in Western games come from China. The culture there doesn't really frown upon cheating as much despite having the mechanisms to delete it from their audiences forever.

A large percentage of TESLA components are made in China, in fact TESLA's largest factory is in Shanghai & consistently produces +50% of all its EV's worldwide

"Tesla said on the Chinese microblogging site Weibo that more than 95% of the components supplied to the plant, its largest facility worldwide, are made in China."

China is the worlds manufacturing hub & these days it would be extremely difficult to find anything that has NO Chinese components at all. Fridges, televisions, washing machines, furniture, clothing, cars, bikes, phones, computers, the list is endless.

Cheap cheap cheap is what we all asked for, capitalism heard our cries & over several decades have increasingly outsourced production off shore. This has made China an industrial powerhouse that has no doubt had a positive impact on their standard of living.

China is still a third world nation.

The water that bursts into flames in Flint, Michigan is better than what the Chinese have.

Eh, some people say that about America too. Where using a hospital room for a day can net you a 20,000$ hospital bill if you don't have private insurance.

Which private health insurance is a scam business that is not actually necessary for society because healthcare is supposed to be a basic human right.

China maybe have the labor productivity USA had in 1970s or something so probably would take a long time before that is likely.

Worker protests happen everywhere, in particular when mid to long term workers are offered a measly $1,400 for redundancy. Besides that, levels of happiness with employment is not very high anywhere in the world, for low or non skilled workers.
