Every time the West End bridge bounces up and down a bit while I’m sitting at the red light I hold my breath, just a little.

I don't like china, but its obvious hey have better infrastructure than us, its not even close, its to the point where there is a decade of US articles mocking china for... building infrastructure, yet here we are. Build Back Better indeed.

Embarrassing

It’s also better for white American families living in China because they let their children ride the trains by themselves since it’s not dangerous

The CCP hired actors to ride the trains everyday to trick the west into believing that their infrastructure is good. And it seemed to have worked too since all the tankies on here actually believe that Chinese people actually use modern transportation and not flintstone cars.

The evil dictator Cee Cee Xi who doesn't let anyone else use the trains so they can bring him all the grain in the country stalin-spooncoming-to-xi-you
