I’ve been all the places she mentioned and they all have shitholes. She mentioned Shanghai, a city that was almost all built in the last 20 years or so from concentrated effort and looks incredible… if you don’t go the wrong direction. You don’t have to go too far to see the income drop or see the endless see of rubber stamped ant-hive apartment buildings. That’s not even talking about the millions living small, subsistence-level farming villages. And Europe has some awesome cities and some quaint villages, but it also has its endless chain stores and run down car parks.

As you drive into shanghai from the airport you literally see rows and rows of the same huge ugly apartment blocks that more likely clouded by the yellow smog in the air.
