Inflation-adjusted home prices in China have fallen below where they started two decades ago, and the fiscal fallout is hitting local governments even harder than developers.
To be honest, this nonsense tells me more that you have struggled to actually make any friends in China and are living in a bubble of your own making, than it says anything about China itself.
Pretty much the opposite. I’m a freewheeling extrovert that makes friend easily and am very well traveled globally. Anyway, it’s a logical fallacy to try and attack me personally when you don’t agree with what I’ve seen. China and the US have a lot of similarities and car culture is definitely one of them. The bus system is fairly unpleasant so unless you fortunately live where the metro is conveniently walkable you’re likely driving either a car or scooter pretty regularly. I will say the upside of the omni surveillance is that China’s roadways have civilized rapidly and now created a much larger gap between them and India due to auto ticketing. I was pretty surprised at how fast that happened. Taiwan is probably where I’d recommend if you want China without most of its downsides.
Yes, yes, everybody only uses Didi. Please, just use Didi. Nobody wants to share public transport with the “freewheeling extrovert” gobshite… Just use Didi.

I suspect you’d have similar problems anywhere.
