Well duh, Chinese are always planning for the future. My dad has always been planning for his old age retirement by amassing huge amounts of wealth, just in case I and my siblings won't take him in for one reason or another. I was a bit perplexed at first but he told me it's not that he doesn't trust me, it's just the Chinese way. Of course, I have every intention to fulfill my obligation as his son, families are important, after all. And there is no greater loyalties than filial piety.

@iwatchmassvideo Its because they are still developing. Are you telling me that the US cities were smog-free in the 1920s?

Americans don´t know anything about Protestant work ethics nowadays. Try Scandinavian countries for that although they too are destroying it more and more each passing day.

shows you that this "superior" protestant ethic bullshit that american schools are trying to brainwash you is nothing more than a hole in a wall....or worse, a toilet hole

iwatchmassvideo; maybe the media in USA alays says that China is polluted beyond belief, but in reality, China isn't all that bad.

[iwatchmassvideo]

Yeah, also unlike the U.S.A.'s old cities, Beijing comes with 15 times worse air pollution, yeah for choking on the air...

[iwatchmassvideo]

Air quality = Mask wearing. You haven't seen the algae from the chemicals? How about how a country last year got covered in smog for 2 weeks from China killing people.

Lol every poor person has a TV or a cellphone. I've seen Mexico and some of the "shacks" have had TV's in them.
