I’m sure you’ve read my other long comment. My point was that it seems very difficult to solve since it is partly a cultural issue as well (competition and hard working)

You seem to be really great at complaining about things without offering any realistic alternatives/solutions. That makes all your thoughts and opinions completely useless

Chinese people also work some of the most hours in the West

Not everything bad is because of the state. Not everything is related to capitalism or communism

Thanks for saying this, I totally agree though it’s a bit harder for me to have such a strong stance on the topic because I don’t research China nor do I live there so my knowledge is just from visiting there often the past few decades

Can I ask what you see that’s over-glorifying or over-idealising?

For me, I see people way overestimating the quality of life in China overall, underestimating how poor the rural regions are, and underestimate how good the West has it in many areas (work/career life for highly educated/skilled workers, cost/availability of many goods and services, etc.)
