What the Chinese do is different in that when the government orders the people to do something, they actually do it.

Depending on what you think about the virtues of government, that's something between a pretty good thing or the worst horror you can imagine.

Do we really have to reduce it to such a simplistic scale as "government good" vs "government bad"? It's like trying to discuss obesity in terms of whether food is good or bad.

I don’t think Americans understand the government having that type of involvement tbh. It’s just so foreign a concept to us as a whole. It’s kind of arrogant tbh.

Wait, what is arrogant? Having a government that orders people directly? Or not understanding such a government?
