I don't think it is though. Maybe some regions of it but as a whole? The GDP per capita diff is like 5x. Would that all be just the reserve currency effect?

I don’t know but the economy definitely feels way bigger when you’re there. There’s a dynamism and an energy that we don’t have anymore. Again I feel like what you’re describing is better described by different things, ie fewer anti business regulations.

Yeah Singapore feels the same (though probably to a lesser extent). I'm just not sure if in the case of China it's specific to a few cities or the country as a whole.

But like...Mississippi? Have you been to Des Moines Iowa? I don’t see how it’s not analogous.

So you're saying country China is more energetic than country USA and city China than city USA?

Yup, big time. Not even close.

The only reason they don’t have more economic immigrants: 1) language 2) they’re more XEnophobic than USA

Yeah i mean if only 10% of all the Chinese diaspora starts moving back they probably don't need to change that.
