>we still have many many things to learn from the success of western societies in the last several decades otherwise China will fail quickly. What makes you think that? Reading The Economist? Correct me if I'm wrong here, but one thing I think that's good about Chinese society that is very different from the west is the whole anti-personality cult thing they put in place since Mao. They are very careful to avoid elevating people to god status and except for Xi, most government officials are anonymous and avoid publicity. In the west we have this really outrageous culture of fame. Everyone wants to know what famous people are thinking and what their opinion about anything is. I think our society might be better without celebrities and the culture of fame. |

There is a very popular word in China - 网红. The meaning is a person who has millions of followers online. They might be singers, movie stars and celebrities. And one portion of them belong to 公知 who spread their opinions about the society and social affairs. Normally, they study in top university all over the word and have many shining titles.
Because of the low price of labor, China grows faster than almost any other economic parties. On the contrary, Chinese economy faces a great challenge if the average price of labor increases even for a little bit. Meanwhile, the crazy development of cities / railways / factories also lead to serious environmental and social problems.
