It's not that I cannot see them; it's that I don't care. And I certainly don't entertain sanctimonious "le China bad" nonsense like that. You live in a country where every 5 years has been substantially better than the previous 5 for a while now. You don't understand your own "privileges" if you can't understand what it's like to live in a country on a free fall that has foreclosed on the possibility of ever building anything again unless it's the latest investor ponzi scheme.

I don’t object what you said. But I think it’s just naive to think the country which seems to keep on being better is a life saver. Surely I have my privilege, compared to my fellow citizens. But that’s just what makes me more disappointed if someone simply praise this country “oh your country is great. You gonna be the first place” or so. Because I know that does none business to me or most of the people like me on this land.

And I know you don’t care about it. It’s understandable because you have your own concerns to devote to. Never mind. But just don’t put all these stuff in a simple way. Please remember the problems beneath those achievements are much more and make a larger numbers of people suffered than those who are benefited through those achievements.

I guess we might have more similarities than disagreements if those issues are abstracted out the country level.
