The mark of a rich country, of a rich developed country, isn't that poor people have cars, but that rich people ride the subway.
Where do you feel more comfortable indeed riding the subway? Is it Hong Kong, is it Singapore? Is it Shanghai, or is it New York, London or Paris? Not that there's anything wrong with the New York, London or Paris subways, but they're definitely not as pleasant an experience as you get, in Hong Kong. So first things first. What, any visitor, first time visitor to a Shanghai, a Beijing, a Hong Kong. Can't avoid seeing is how superior the public infrastructure has become. Whether you look at your public transport, whether you look at your shopping malls, take any kind of public infrastructure, the parks, the, it's it is mind-blowingly superior.
So you have to ponder, I think if you're intellectually honest you have to take a step back and say, okay, how can they do this? And we can't, given how far ahead we were, 30 or 40 years ago, how, how did we mess this up in the West?”
How did we get to the point where China's life expectancy is now higher than the United States when 30 years ago it was 20 years below? I think these are questions that, we should all be looking in the mirror and say, okay how did this happen?
