Telling the truth is not negativity. Chinese society has many faults. To be fair however, so does the West.

I criticize China a lot, could be because I am inherently anti-communist and have been for some time.

That does not mean we should not have a go at our own countries of origin.

The USA, UK, Canada, and Australia are in fact beautiful countries that USED TO BE good places to live with a high standard
of living.

It is very poor leadership over the last two decades that has caused a severe decline. The greed of certain individuals has also caused housing prices to go through the roof, this in particular applies to the UK, Australia, and Canada. Many young men and women in cities like Sydney, London, Vancouver, Toronto, they will never own a house.

Nothing "negative" about saying that.
