It is really ridiculous to see that many people still judge the present China based on the backward history of the old China. The people of their own country worry about being shot and women being raped every day, but now they are worried that the Chinese will eat too much and live too happily. Guys, China is no longer the China you imagined. If you have travel expenses, go to China. China will let you sit up and take notice.
Go out and see the reality of China with your own eyes, instead of hearing hearsay on the Internet.
I agree we should judge China on their current positions and not on the past. While Chinas power is growing in the world so are the issues with China. There are so many issues piling up that the rest of the world can't ignore them forever. Big issues are what is happening in Hong Kong, Tibet, border conflict with India, incarcerating the Uyghurs, occupying Tibet, etc. Eventually there will be more pressure towards China from the rest of the world, cheap products are not everything.
