China is not a perfect society. They have made many mistakes. But they decided and allowed themselves to correct them, make amends and transition to systems that have only one goal. Not to wreak havoc on the world. Not to breast beat and gloat over their accomplishments. But with pride, to prove to the world that it is possible to give their own people today a life hundreds of times better than their parents had. I cannot downplay it, but I have to say it. The child to whom I gave a toy and a bar soap in 1989 is now driving a Porsche Cayenne. And with their government not having to fire a single shot or drop a single bomb anywhere else. No countries conquered, ravaged and/or enslaved. That alone is an astronomical feat. I may have missed out something in my observation but… I don’t think that even the most powerful and wealthiest of nations have gotten close to that.
