@cosmorxn A US college costs 10X of a Chinese one, bit is it 10X better?

I’m seeing this sentiment quite a bit, but I think it fundamentally misunderstands how people perceive wealth in the 21st century. Much of America’s wealth is effectively invisible. The country can lose billions through waste, inefficiency, or corruption and barely notice the impact (the Somali Minnesota daycare scandal is one example). Wealth is reflected less in visible infrastructure and more in things like high salaries, retirement security, and access to the world’s most advanced healthcare. Football fans aren’t necessarily going to be impressed by those things because they are difficult to see. Most Europeans have little idea how wealthy Americans actually are. Walking around New York, for example, they are likely to see cities that feel familiar in many ways: older buildings, historic neighbourhoods, and dense urban environments similar to European ones, albeit with more skyscrapers. Even the huge stadiums, while visually impressive, may strike some visitors as more extravagant than evidence of everyday prosperity. They are also going to use subways full of graffiti, crazy people, rats, and fare dodgers. A useful comparison is China. Someone visiting a Chinese city might come away thinking China is exceptionally wealthy because of its infrastructure: the modern airports, high-speed rail, and newly built urban areas (pictured). But they would be drawing conclusions from what is most visible rather than from the underlying reality. China remains significantly poorer than the United States on a per capita basis. In both cases, the average person is misled by what they see.

@ill_wind817 @saltyAom One is military, one is cooperation.

@saltyAom The difference is CCP's legitimacy comes from its military not from the election whereas the formation of an administartion in the US requires much more civil participation and therefore is more legitimate.

If a government can dictate your company what or what not to do then how is it any difference from CCP at all

@financedystop Just build a high-rise.

"Tiny homes" continue to grow in popularity. These are selling for around $140,000 for just over 600 square feet in Texas.

@selectsand @GodfreeTrh @RepMcCaul Mandate of heaven

@GodfreeTrh @RepMcCaul why though the communist party is atheist but also believes it knows that some guy is definitely reincarnated, seems confused

When I visited the Dalai Lama, he told me: "I will not be reborn in China; I will be reborn in freedom." My amendment would honor that wish by helping to ensure the decision about the Dalai Lama's successor rests with him and his people — not with the Chinese Communist Party.

@TheStalwart I wonder if it would be considered transit visa if you go to Macau, enter China. Then exit China to Hong Kong.

I'm pretty sure there's no way but, without having had the time to get a visa situation together, is there any way for me to visit Shenzhen on Saturday?

@northguskee @medievalmlord Thank God Americans invented the Gatling, Mongolians can finally go dancing, drinking, and wrestling. Peace.

@medievalmlord Chinese have never truly defeated us.

@ReadFuturist I connected CC with deepseek,it does everything I need and it cost me 1 dollar so far.

Despite being by far the most funded AI startup in the world, OpenAI’s models are basically not useful in the real world that matters - developers and Startups. Chinese models are 10x to 30x cheaper than U.S. models and have good enough performance for most tasks. Chinese models went from about 1% of developer usage in 2024 to more than 60% in May, and 80% of U.S. AI startups are now using Chinese open-source AI models. OpenAI’s models are mostly just getting people addicted to inferior products. While Chinese models are helping developers build stuff according to OpenRouter’s API data. What conclusions are we supposed to draw from this data?

@LaurenceMister 真正不可替代的也就三家

这张图简直可怕，这是多少家公司？英伟达的整合能力，简直恐怖！

@WattDisney @macastel3 99.9% transactions on taobao are Chinese in China.

@macastel3 I’ve been told that Chinese companies sometimes favour for foreigners because foreigners have an aversion to returning stuff, whereas Chinese consumers are so used to the system that they are comfortable returning things, so the return rate is higher

Bought something on Taobao (Chinese Amazon) Didn't like it So i decided to return it Press return button 10 minutes later (yes so fast) a guy comes at the door to pick up the returned object Money will be sent back soon I feel sorry for the vendor....too easy process!!!

@yunoikachannel 云南 is much cooler during the summer.

みんなすごく丁寧に中国のおすすめスポットや行き方を教えてくれて本当にありがたい...😭 深圳広州気になってたけど暑いのが苦手すぎるから、ハルビン行ってみようかな！？ 小红书を見てみたら夏でも楽しめそう🏰🩵 冬の哈尔滨冰雪大世界もいつか行ってみたい！

@Stephenr009 @Molson_Hart It's mainly a weight program for the US.

@Molson_Hart do you think they may not be honest? I mean why would they lie?

China - spends 10% what we do on healthcare per person in ppp terms - works longer hours and harder jobs - smokes industrial quantities of cigarettes And has the same life expectancy as the United States (79 years)

@franortizUVL @aarai666 Many places only use wechat pay

@aarai666 you could already use international cards on alipay for a while, no?

これはまさに国際支払いの革命ですね 中国 Tencent の発表によると、5月27日、WeChat Payは、Tencent TenPay Global と PayPal World が正式に提携した 今後、世界中のPayPalユーザーが中国を訪れた際、PayPalウォレットを開くだけで、WeChat PayのQRコードを使って決済できるようになります 加盟店側も、端末を交換したりQRコードを変更したりする必要はなく、これまで通り支払いを受け取ることができます また、海外ウォレットだけでなく、外国人ユーザーはWeChat上でVisaやMastercardなどの国際クレジットカードを直接登録することも可能。 外国人の中国観光への勧誘としてすごくいい政策だな

@aladagberk @naiivememe This is a Subaru

@naiivememe This is better

Why spend millions on designers when AI can do it better for free?

@Bluebearmonkey 主要是他们已经接触到中国的机密，前沿项目的计划和细节，相当于美国的top secret clearance,出国需要申报。

美国没有底线

@GaryDu18 主要是他们已经解接触到中国的机密了，相当美国top secret clearance，如果出国需要上报。

阿里和DeepSeek的高管， 和核心研发人员被要求上交护照了。 民企中唯二可以享受编制待遇的了。

@RJDAIGOGO threads里台湾账号太多，毫无知识行可言，全身一对弱智言论

是不是我错觉，感觉Threads的中文区活跃度已经超过推特了。动不动就能看到几千赞的帖子，留言也超多，还都是几百粉几千粉的非大V发的帖。

@caozhen672 @zhoubaiO6 @Ranshux 每个人都是婊子，只是有人出卖自己的时间，有人出卖自己的肉体，有人出卖自己的道德。。

@zhoubaiO6 @Ranshux 不光是一种状态，更是职业。他们的职业习惯造就了他们行为习惯。

我老婆以前是做妓女的，我是她的常客，结完婚5年了，我敢说：这是我这辈子做的最爽、最正确的决定。 特别提醒：18岁以下、心理脆弱、处女情结重度患者建议直接左上角划走，别看了硬了又骂街，老子不背这个锅。 五年前我第一次找她，那时候我还单身，工作压力比较大，就想找地方发泄一下，刚见到她时，眼前一亮，姑娘长得白净，身材特别好，胸大屁股翘，笑起来还特别勾人。 那一晚现在想起来都让我终生难忘！ 她把我伺候得太舒服了，不仅技术好，还特别会叫，声音又软又浪，听得我骨头都酥了，浑身发麻。 完事后她还用热毛巾给我擦干净，轻轻说：“记得下次还来找我呀。” 就这样慢慢的我就成了她的固定客人，几乎每周都去。有时候忙完直接杀过去，她像个磁铁一样把我迷亖了！ 她会特意穿我喜欢的黑丝，主动骑上来扭腰，下面又紧又湿，夹得我每次都忍不住早泄。不光床上厉害，平时也细心，有一次我喝多了吐在她那儿，她也没嫌弃，还给我煮粥喝，说是养胃。 两年后，我发现自己真的离不开她了，不是光图那点事儿，她让我觉得特别被需要的感觉，有一天我忍不住问她：“你愿不愿意跟我结婚，彻底不干这行了？” 我记得当时她愣了半天，然后眼泪就下来了，眼睛红着说：“我这种人，这种过去，你不嫌弃吗？” 我当时也纠结过，朋友知道后都劝我别脑子发热是不是烧坏了。我不听任何人的劝阻最后我还是把她娶了。 结婚后我才知道，这女人有多香。 现在我们结婚第五年，孩子都两岁了。她的身材恢复得特别好，该翘的地方还是那么翘。平时白天她带孩子、做家务，晚上等孩子睡着后，她经常只穿一件我的白衬衫，下面什么都不穿，靠过来就亲我。 她特别懂男人。知道我加班累了，就主动给我口。她的技术还是那么好，舌头灵活，又舔又吸，有时候还深喉到眼泪汪汪，一边含着我一边抬头看我，那眼神骚得要命。 我经常三五分钟就忍不住了。她最喜欢我从后面进来，每次都把屁股翘得高高的，腰压得很低，湿湿的对着我，浪叫着：“老公……用力点……操深一点……” 我每次干她都特别带劲，她下面会自己一缩一缩地吸，爽得我头皮发麻。高潮的时候她全身发抖，还会喷一点水出来，那感觉太刺激了。完事后她也不马上睡，还会抱着我，轻轻给我揉肩膀。 这种日子，真的上瘾。 以前我总觉得要找个干干净净的女孩结婚，现在看，那想法太傻了。她比很多没经历过的女孩强太多了。她不矫情，知道男人需要什么，也敢给什么。想玩角色扮演就直接说，护士装、学生装、黑丝吊带，她都配合得特别好。 结婚这么久，我们每周还能做五六次，每次都像谈恋爱那会儿一样激烈。 她还特别会过日子。家里收拾得干干净净，我爱吃的菜她都记着做法。我妈以前最反对，现在天天夸她，说这儿媳妇最懂事、最会照顾人。 我现在每天晚上回家，一想到她可能又准备了新玩法，心里就有点小激动。而且从来没想过在外面偷吃。 在我心里她胜过所有女人，真的太值得了。 兄弟们我先把丑话说前头：这文章纯属我自己的个人真实经历分享，不是叫你马上就跑去夜店找小姐结婚，也不是鼓励谁去乱搞。婚姻这事儿风险自负，过去再香的女人也得自己擦亮眼睛看清楚。 最后，18岁以下、心理脆弱、处女情结重度患者建议直接右上角关闭，别看了硬了又骂街，老子不背这个锅。 看完爽就行，干不干是你自己的事儿。😂

@LaurenceMister 迪拜跌倒，香港吃饱。

史无前例，香港的GDP增速，居然超过了深圳！ 第一季度，香港的GDP增速高达5.9%，很多人无比惊讶。这一增速也超过了深圳（5.8%），改革开放以来，这一幕情景从未出现过。

@mayaWSB80 @bubbleboi Because the US is not controlled by the President?

@bubbleboi but u can never curse Chinese leaders!!! this is ultimate freedom Americans cherish. fck yr affordability reasons. I rather starve to death than lose this freedom

People really need to stop hating on China man. Every time I’m in a pickle it’s China saving me. Gas prices too high? I’m riding in the BYD. DRAM costs an arm and a leg? CXMT floods the market. Anthropic and OpenAI fucking me on token costs? Hello my friend Mr. Qwen. The CCP has done more for my cost of living than my own government.

@jhc2771 @Jaemyung_Lee There is a south Korean town in Beijing.

서울경제TV가 "중국인 서울 강남 아파트 944채 기습매수..다주택자 던진 물량 싹쓸이" 이런 가짜 영상기사를 냈다가 지금은 삭제 했습니다. 확인해보니 1~4월 간 강남구 집합건물 중국인 매수는 5명 불과 등 명백한 허위기사입니다. 혐중 선동재료로 사용될 수 있게 의도적으로 만든 가짜뉴스 기사로 추정됩니다. 명색이 언론, 그것도 경제언론인데 혐중을 부추겨 나라와 국민에 무슨 도움이 되겠습니까. 엄중하게 책임을 물어야겠지요?
