How China is 100 years ahead of us on many AI and Tech issues!

... I have an undying respect and affection for the Japanese.

Hard to argue with that.

Americans may think they are the best. They may think their nation is number one. ...

Hard to argue with that.

I reckon most people who are not from either country but have lived for a time in both would disagree with you.

No - they don't.

Everyone who's been with a Japanese family, or lived a couple of month in Japan - knows that it's people are psychotic and absolutely nuts. They are not able to live freely as humans do, but are forced into a restrictive code and rules of conduct.

Actually the Japanese - are indeed forced to live a life - of what is falsely proclaimed/propagandized about Chinese in China.

And just a, standardized politeness, clean streets, and gardens don't make for a nice living. - but a nice, 1-2 week holiday for foreigners.

 

[Unkotare]

No - they don't.
...

And yet, everyone posting here who has lived in both countries disagrees with you. I have presented a balanced point of view, and you have presented childish prejudice.

I don't know that, bigot.

Of course "they" are. Don't be ridiculous.

China's Primary Infrastructure Problems (Systemic & Financial)

• Debt and Overage: China faces immense fiscal burdens due to massive local government debts and a prolonged real estate and construction downturn. The country has built a massive surplus of infrastructure (including "ghost cities") that has resulted in low returns on investment.
• Maintenance Backlog: The sheer volume of newly constructed high-speed rail, bridges, and highways is starting to require costly maintenance that regional governments cannot easily afford.
• Energy Demand: Despite strong green energy and EV battery capacity, China's vast industrial economy requires constant grid enhancements to prevent strain. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

U.S. Primary Infrastructure Problems (Capacity & Legacy)

• Aging Grids & Power: A major U.S. issue is securing enough electricity generation and transmission to support the AI boom and data center expansion. The U.S. has seen canceled or delayed projects due to inadequate power infrastructure.
• Legacy Networks: The U.S. suffers from an extensive backlog of deteriorating civil infrastructure, including aging bridges, structurally deficient dams, and failing municipal water networks.
• Permitting & Labor: Massive structural challenges with labor shortages and slow bureaucratic permitting processes severely delay the construction and modernization of U.S. infrastructure

And yet another Artificial Idiocy response that says nothing.

You mean being thoughtful and polite? Oh, the horror!

The Internet is controlled by the "Great Firewall of China." Most foreign search engines and social media outlets are blocked. And good luck publicly criticizing Xi Jinping.

Or even posting anything no matter how innocent about Winnie the Pooh.

Yeah, they kinda do.

Not back in the early 80s.

At any given time - they only have a population of 122 million.

And in the 80's the Japanese income structure and industrial setup - only provided a meager life, and a market for cheap products that Europe and the USA couldn't match price-wise. Whilst at the same time heavily blocking/restricting their market for imports, and copying everything.

They could never beat e.g. European cars, construction machinery etc. and they never succeeded in Europe - neither in technology, innovation nor quality, they only succeeded in the USA due to miserable US cars and outdated US products such as TV's, Household electronics or motorbikes in the 80'ies.

As such Japan, Taiwan or Korea live of other peoples innovation and markets (true parasites) - whilst China compensates copying European and US technology or innovation with the import of US$ trillions of goods from those countries. That is why consumer size matters!!. China has now however reached a stage were they are almost in no need to copy foreign technology or innovation - since they are already leading in most fields.

If you would actually have lived and worked in the manufacturing industry in China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan, you would know that.

As for cultural heritage/artifacts and keeping those products/manufacturing alive, Japan is certainly the #1 in Asia - after-all they didn't have a civil war and a Mao for 70 years.

From ALL your posts - its evident that you got no clue about the Far-East, and also never got yourself into any Far-Eastern culture.
You only propagate tourist bull.

I guess Krusky the Klown was in a coma during the early 80s.

 

[westwall]

To be absolutely fair -- We beat China on both absolute number of incarcerated residents (Our 1.8 Million to China's 1.6 Million)

And

As far as the more indicative rate of incarceration, Our 541 per 100,000 residents (#5 Globally) is several times that of China's 114 per 100,000 residents (#119 Globally)

Our murder rate is also several times that as the "legal" definition of murder is the non-state sanctioned killing of a human as opposed to just the killing of a human.

Do you trust Chinese reporting? I sure don't.

I guess Krusky the Klown was in a coma during the early 80s.

And Japanese products have not been considered to be "cheap" since the freaking early 1970s.

By the 1980s, they had started to become world leaders for quality. In electronics you had names like Sony, Panasonic, Yamaha, Technics and Audio-Technica which were some of the leaders in the industry. And in photography and optics Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Fuji and Pentax were also world leaders.

And the vehicle manufacturers like Toyota, Honda, Datsun-Nissan, and others had finally left behind the reputation of "low end economy cars" and started to build real luxury cars. For almost two decades the Honda Goldwing was not only the Gold Standard for touring bikes, it was the largest selling model of motorcycle made in the US.

About the only Japanese company I can think of that was still considered "cheap" by the 1980s was Sanyo. But they were always primarily a "low end" consumer marque for Panasonic. Founded by the brother-in-law of the founder of Panasonic, they enjoyed financial support from the larger company as well as almost free use of their patents. This lasted until after much of their manufacturing facilities were destroyed in the 2004 earthquake, then some parts were sold off and the rest of the company was absorbed by Panasonic.

No, by the start of the 1980s, the "Cheap Electronics" and other things were not coming from Japan at all. By that time, South Korea had actually taken over that spot of consumer goods. With companies like Goldstar, Samsung, and Daiwoo primarily taking over the low end electronics that the Japanese did into the early 1970s. And in the early 1990s you had South Korean car companies start to enter the US market at the low end. Like Kia, Hyundai, and Daiwoo.

I agree, anybody that thinks that Japanese were producing "cheap" anything in the 1980s was either very much not alive then, or in a coma.

And hell, that was actually part of the joke in "Back to the Future III".

I don't trust any country's reporting ... It's in the best interest of EVERY country to provide data that serves it's own self interest.

That being said, if China is incarcerating people at a significantly higher rate than they admit, it's not for the sort of crimes that we see here every day.

What cost?

That you can't vote for other parties? who cares - look at the USA and Europe, what does voting for a respective party change?

Are you in favor of Dictatorship here? Like a Putin or Xi?

 

[Luckyone]

All change incurs cost.

The metric we use to define if a change is for good or ill is typically how it affects ourselves.

How has the Iran war helped YOU?

And yet another Artificial Idiocy response that says nothing.

define and prove your use of the word "artificial", when it comes to your post

You seem to be.
