    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.
