it's crazy how much it feels like nothing happened in the US in the last 4 years but it feels like China built infinity high speed rails, infinity nuclear power plants, infinity solar panels, started an electric car revolution, has a microchips industry that's only 5-10 years behind (and I don't feel like computers are much faster than 10 years ago in the US...), 1 genocide (RIP deserts), has several competing flux capacitor prototypes, will probably build a base on the moon and mars, has a theoretical bases for the constructing the world's first matrix of leadership, can turn geese invisible, invented Kwisatz blockers, etc..

China is going to have like three Sputnik Moments in the next decade. the west will shit its pants in terror
And absurdly gigantic and slightly lopsided virtual titties, don't forget that!
