Lifting 800 million people out of extreme poverty is historically more significant than building a pyramid or a Taj Mahal.

从历史来看，让8亿人摆脱极端贫困比建造一座金字塔或泰姬陵更有意义。

An old Chinese man once told me that he started life out making cheap wooden plastic toys for pennies and hardly enough to eat and today his children go to university, build microchips and AI. He said his generation give their lives so their children would never know the great humiliation. It's always stuck with me, what they have done in 50 years is incredible.

一位中国老人曾经告诉我，他最初靠制作廉价的木制塑料玩具谋生，只赚几分钱，几乎不够吃饭，而今天他的孩子们上了大学，然后从事微芯片制造和人工智能行业。他说，他们这一代人献出了自己的生命，这样他们的孩子就永远不会遭受这种巨大的耻辱。这一直让我难以忘怀，他们在50年里所做的一切是不可思议的。

With 4 out of 5 of the world’s richest persons in the US, its GDP per capita is severely distorted. It also highlights the inequality in the US where the super rich gets richer while the number of homeless Americans grows

全球五分之四的最富有的人都在美国，美国的人均GDP严重失真。这也凸显了美国的不平等，超级富豪越来越富有，而无家可归的美国人却越来越多

Bravo China.

Remember all.  18 out of the last 20 centuries, the economic power has always been in Asia.  Just look at the history of the silk road and how it made certain countries rich.  There are no historical records showing China as a conquering nation.  Yes, there were wars but never domination of the locals.  The west crippled China in the 1800s and now we're back to the norm.  Chinese is a nationality consisting of 56 ethnics.  Look at the west, it took them 2000 years to unit to create the European Union and it's falling apart.  They divided Africa to make it easier to conquer.  They tried this in China.  Again, there are 56 Ethnics in China and been united for thousands of years.

在过去的20个世纪中有18个世纪，经济大国一直是亚洲国家。看看丝绸之路的历史，看看它是如何让某些国家富裕起来的。

没有历史记录显示中国是一个爱征服的国家。是的，有战争，但从来没有侵略过别人。

西方在19世纪削弱了中国，现在我们又回到了常态。中国是一个由56个少数族群组成的国家。看看西方，他们花了2000年才联合起来创建欧盟，现在它正分崩离析。他们把非洲分割开来，以便于征服他们。他们也试图分裂中国。中国有56个民族，几千年来一直统一在一起。

Napoleon stated, “Let China sleep. For when she wakes, the world will tremble”. How prophetic!

拿破仑说:“让中国睡吧。因为当她醒来时，世界将会颤抖。”真是未卜先知啊!

Another insight from Michael Hudson is that China’s public investment in infrastructure allows workers a higher standard of living independent of wages.

American workers pay through the nose for housing, education, transportation, etc. Chinese workers do not.

迈克尔·哈德森认为，中国对基础设施的公共投资，提高了工人的生活水平。

美国工人在住房、教育、交通等方面支出巨大，中国工人则不然。

In the West, capital has primacy, the interests of capital are what dictate political decisions, whereas in China political decisions are what dictate capital.

在西方，资本至上，资本的利益决定了政治决策，而在中国，政治决策决定了资本。

While USA focused on making wea pons china was focusing on its economy.

当美国专注于制造武器时，中国专注于发展经济。

one point i want to share, US is carrying out "military colonialism" all over the world

我想分享的一点是，美国正在世界各地实施“军事殖民 主义”

The US forced Japan to loan money to South Korea (so that's how South Korea got its start as well).

美国迫使日本借钱给韩国，韩国经济也是这样起步的。

The funny thing is the sole military superpower could not victoriously deal with the huthis of Yemen.

有趣的是，唯一的军事超级大国无法打败也门的胡塞武装。

美国是通过奴隶制、种族灭绝和侵略发展起来的

It's always useful to bring up India as the counterpoint to China.  India is repeatedly said to have the advantages of the worlds largest population, the world's largest de ocracy, the world's largest working age population.  Yet, capitalist India is nowhere near China in terms of GDP (nominal or PPP), foreign reserves, human development, pollution control, middle class consumers, industrial production, or technology development.  If de ocracy and capitalism are so good at building national wealth and power, India shouldn't be so far behind socialist China.

拿印度和中国中国对比还是有用的。人们一再说印度拥有世界上人口最多这一优势，是世界上最大的民 主国家，拥有世界上最庞大的劳动人口。然而，资 本主义印度在GDP(名义或购买力平价)、外汇储备、人类发展、污染控制、中产阶级消费者、工业生产或技术发展方面与中国相距甚远。如果zb主义有助 一个国家积累财富和力量，那么印度不应该落后社会主义中国这么远。

We are here, learning geopolitics is an interesting endeavour... China is succeeding mainly because it doesn't spend on militarism...

学习地缘政治挺有趣的…中国之所以成功，主要是因为它没有把钱花在军国主义上…

tial rent is counted in GDP of a country. In San Francisco or NY, an average one bed room app may cost $3,500 a month. That means $42,000 is added in the US Gdp for one unit rented. This although that there may be many homeless in your neighborhood, trash piles, urine smell, human faeces, roberry, gangs, graffiti. Now same standard appartment in Shenzhen or Shanghai may be rented for 20% the price in US in a far better environment. But the GDP added is only 20% than in US.

So we now understand why there are many poor people in so called rich countries.

租金被计入一个国家的GDP。在旧金山或纽约，一个单间卧室平均每月可能要花费3500美元。这意味着每出租一个单元，美国GDP就增加了4.2万美元。

尽管你家附近可能有很多无家可归的人，垃圾成堆、尿臭粪便、抢劫、帮派、涂鸦等等。

现在，在深圳或上海，同样的标准公寓的租金可能是美国的20%，而环境要好得多。但中国的GDP增幅只比美国高20%。所以我们现在明白了为什么在所谓的富裕国家里有很多穷人。

I am 81,and when i was a kid back in the fifties they referred to China as the SLEEG DRAGON?They also drove the American army almost off of the Korean pinesala.General McAurther wanted to use atomic bombs on them and presidentTruman had general McAuther relieved of comand.Scary times for ten year old  little kid.

我81岁了，在50年代当我还是个孩子的时候，他们把中国称为沉睡的巨龙？他们当年还几乎把美军赶出了朝鲜半岛。麦克阿瑟将军想对他们使用原子弹，杜鲁门总统解除了麦克阿瑟将军的指挥权。对十岁的小孩来说那真是可怕的时刻。

franklee663

I think you should further breakdown in terms of military vs consumer products.  Today most of US production goes to the military, not for the consumer

我认为你应该进一步细分军用产品和消费产品。如今，美国生产的大部分产品都用于军事用途，而不是为消费者生产的

And they are doing it without toppling foreign governments
