Five Takeaways From Our New China Project

How did China do it?

When The New York Times set out to take a big-picture look at China, the what was obvious enough: Across the Pacific Ocean from the United States lies the world’s newest superpower, a rival to American interests both economic and political.

The how was another matter.

How did the land once commonly — and with some disdain — known in the West as Communist China come to lead the world in the number of homeowners, internet users, college graduates and, by some counts, billionaires?

How did a once-cloistered nation with a flailing economy drive extreme poverty down to less than 1 percent? How did it achieve social economic mobility unrivaled by much of the world?

And perhaps most of all, how did a country that rejected all of the conventional wisdom Western economists had to offer arrive at a moment when it is on track to surpass the American economy and become the world’s largest?

No, I would actually rate it as accurate.
I disagree. My experience in China is widely different from NYt, both political and economic. The problem with NYT is they just keep repeating the same lies (that either they created or the CIA, one and the same in my books) and hope that it sticks. Because if you don't know better, lies eventually becomes the truth. Herr Goreing will be proud of the NYT for sure.

Perhaps you could list a few of the most glaring errors.

"Among its neighbors, China’s rise provokes fears that an unwanted piece of history is being resurrected — the old tribute system that cemented China’s status as the Middle Kingdom. For centuries, other nations bowed in recognition of China’s imperial might, bestowing gifts on the emperor and accepting vassal status to secure trade and peace."

That's what I'm reading right now, on money and muscle. A very much obvious example of what Americans think the Chinese tribute system is like. Because that is how the American vassalage system is set up. In reality, it is just a trading relationship and China keeps the peace in SE Asian and NE Asia.

Pretty much all the articles start with some truth, get you to believe them, then start with half truth then full on misinformation.

"For the Western powers whose order has prevailed since the end of World War II, China poses a foundational challenge. The United States and its victorious allies erected institutions that were — at least rhetorically — designed to keep the peace by promoting trade and fair competition. "

Americans keep the peace? Lol nice joke. And as far as I remember China won WW2, but is a challenge to the American system.... Americans on trade had not been fair to even their friends and allies.. japan is a good example.

I'm too lazy to go into detail, but basically half if not more of every article is basically BS.

And don't get me started on NYT's second half of article on the SCS. Once again just repeating the BS all these MSM writes.

Notice none of these articles interviews positive views from China even though it is about China? On supposed "experts" that are mostly American with a clear biased view already.
