Who knows, they've got a lot of shit to sort out first.
Pollution (land, water, air) air’s a bloody big one to solve, thank fuck I live in Sanya. Just about one of the last few places that’s not fucked up and believe me they’re trying.
Property prices that are bonkers, add to that 70 year leases on purchase. Oh and you don’t own the land. What happens in 70 years future? A bunch of people are approaching 60 years now, will be interesting to see that on the local news.
Different regions with different languages, add in this region hates that one. Fun times when trying to control a bunch of staff wanting to kick off over something.
A massive huge ass gap between the wealthy rich, the everyday middle class and the urban/rural poor. Good luck trying to turn China around to a domestic consumption driven economy, from an exports based one any time soon.
120 men to 100 women. That’s 20 men that will never get a girlfriend or get married. Now multiply that by the bazillions of people here. Hu Jintao was famously quoted on his leadership transition to Xi Jinping, by a cctv reporter for Xinwen Lianbo (7pm news) “what is the number one thing that keeps you up at night” to which he replied “40 million single men” – paraphrasing here.
Green tech is going to be a massive boom in the upcoming years here. They are already pumping shit tons of cash into it and I only see them ramping it up, not cutting back on that.
All in all, it’s exciting times and the current speed of progress & development here is mind blowing.
