China has made headway in oil and technology recently. Most people feel compelled to compare themselves with Chinese people. What’s unique to North America is daily grinds under the aegis of capitalism. In suburbs and urban environments, vendors sell ice cream along the roads in trucks. This must be rare in China. They could sell other stuff. Mostly snacks and meat. The Taiwan protests of pork during the pandemic have created a shortage of information in China and a lot of other places. China is rising. China has another war to prepare. Etc.
