China really is living in the future. Building new space stations, high speed rail and ever cheaper, cleaner energy.
Meanwhile , a single US state is approaching its third decade of trying to build a single line of high speed rail, and our federal politics consist of watching our most ancient boomers build a Gestapo while they are actively dying of old age.
The Japanese government is currently trying to deal with food shortages from a stupid agricultural policy that has sent the price up rice up 300%. Meanwhile, the US is busy blowing up its own economy while China dog walks Trump over tariffs, and on the military side, the US inventory is so depleted from Israel and Ukraine that they would run out of munitions within the first week of any actual shooting war.
