Always i see tiktok, many say chongqing is cyberpunk city, shanghai is way more advanced than tokyo and miles ahead affluent than new york.

Even second tier city like tianjin, suzhou, wuhan are ahead of sydney or KL.

Question is, is it true as claimed or there is still underdeveloped area?

Anyone been to china recently? Is it very advanced and rich?

Some are true some are false. But generally true...
It's like those people in Malaysia posting purchase of Lamborghini, Porsche and huge bungalow with swimming pools in social media. They are true and rich but that does not mean everyone is rich, only some of them.

From videos, people that went there, paper (trades), etc.

YES.

But as usual. If you are competing country like USA & India, you would cherry pick whats wrong in that country to make a case.

This.
In bandar, keeping up the competition is madness. Debt amongst their youngs is not what you can imagine.

You heard of a service (by 3rd party) in feeding one's CC like you feed your farmland chicken for an increase CC limit? Yes card owner pays for that service.

Yes.

Been to China many times, and they are in fact ahead of us. Of course they have many places that are very rural but like you said, many second or even third tier cities are more advanced than in KL.

Depends where la. You go cities, lifestyle quality would be on par with any developed country. But there's plenty of rural undeveloped areas.

their small cities have bigger population than our KL with millions population

i dont see why small towns like taiping ipoh miri melaka need MRT LRT with only 5k people


malaysia is small population if want to compare should compare to similar population like Australia, our cities still lost to Aus

Yes correct. But that time where technology and advancement is really needed that they cannot employ cheap labour anymore.

The only way to make less precision products for cheap is to use cheap labour.

The only way to make expensive precision products is to use trained and knowledgeable expensive labour.

Those expensive branded bags and wallets are not precision products. You could train cheap labour to make it. @ factory assembly labour.

You can however make crude electronics with cheap labour. Electronic control boards for single function or toys.

But you cannot make precision board like PC motherboards & smart phone boards with cheap labour. But parts of the assembly can be cheaper with manual labour than a fully robotized assembly line. 1 robot can cost 10-50 people wages in purchase cost, training and maintenance costs. So the final answer to why manual labour is used is no brainer.

use currency as the yardstick and you can judge for yourself..
previously it was rm1 to 3reminbi, rm1.75 to auusie1.00, rm1 to 12-13 baht… rm2.4 to usd1.00
this will see how far we have progressed comparatively..

of all of this comes with a price

question is, do you and the wumaos willing to pay the price?

as in 996, 007, low pay, almost zero social welfare (komunis konon), inhumane working condition, brutal competition, etc

inb4 darkterror said which MNCs don't request you to work 12 hours a day

maybe real and maybe fake, who knows? One thing for sure is they are definitely miles ahead of Bharat. It's funny both started at the same spot after ww2 but achieved way different result 80 years after. Maybe komunis can only cure Bharat😂
