"If your enemy is making mistakes, don't interrupt him" Sun Tzu.
So true.. China hardly made any serious effort to debuke it.
Da Truth
Pretty solid Art of War reference and I fear that you are right.
I'm sure the CCP is helping it along, who do you think are funding these socialist organizations back protests, and even race baiting articles in the media. follow the money
Yeah, and the irony is that the American wealthy elite built up China and also gave them our technology. They saw the Chinese authoritarian/slave factory model as the one to implement around the world, so they lent their support to the Chinese govt. China did not build up like this due to their own smarts. It was stolen from us.
When you stop improving yourself and start worrying about how to stop others, you already lost 😁
Exactly
Very good point!
Excellently put Mr Fist.
Exactly what Trump did.
Phenomenal reality based insight ! TOTAL EXTERNAL focusing, is GUARANTEED, you lost already.
I studied in China for 1 year when I was 12. There I learned Algebra, geometry, physics, and Chemistry. I came back to the states thinking I was going to fall behind because I missed a whole year of school, but instead I was so advanced that I was bored. Also there was a huge sense of community there.
I lived in Canada for awhile them came back to the states as a kid. When i came back i was like 3 years ahead of everyone lol
Bruh!! You missed a whole year of gender studies. 😤
How is the sense of community please answer this it’s really important for me….
Then go back now
The good thing is our kids will know how to play basketball and recite the lyrics to rap songs much better than Chinese kids.
I'm happy and proud to see at least one person in America who's not too scared or terrified to stand up and speak his mind and tell the facts how it needs to be told
Literally
What mind??? 🤣🤣🤣
This guy is a clown himself a liberal 🤡 🐠 🤡
The saddest part of this is that he didn't make a single joke here. Just spoke the truth.
@The Observer Didn't know China was trolling India. New one on me.
@Drew Baltimore guess it’s easier this way - complaining or making sarcastic jokes vs. solving raping problems
You are one hundred percent right
Manily you were busy in the killings and looting the oil from arabs , that's why you r here
Its because liberals are a woke joke of silly jokers without a clue why no one cares what they think
The smartest thing I've heard come out this man's mouth in a long time
The election went the way he was hoping so now he can start being frank and honest again.
I was thinking the same thing. A long long time. Bill seems to be waking up.
Oops, scratch what I said above. I spoke too soon. Just checked out a recent video Bill Maher posted. He's still spewing out the same dysfunction that he's preaching against in this video. Dividing Americans. Bill Maher is one of the silly people he talks about here. I guess dysfunction makes him money.
@@sal768 totally agree shame he's about to get that Recession he said he wanted in exchange for Biden taking charge.
Concentration Camp China is a propaganda super power.
Reminds me of a story my da
d told me. A bunch of Asian tourists where at a train station taking pictures of trains. He thought they were impressed & commented on how great American trains & workmanship was & if they had trains like ours in China. One of them said "Yes, we do, in museums".
Not sure if this anecdotal is true, but if nothing else the moral of the story is absolutely on point.
Now that’s funny! 哈哈大笑！
@@TucoBenedicto 110% true.
Hahahahaha!
He probably didn't even mean that as a joke.
We're not losing to China we already lost... such a beautiful word genius man 🇨🇳 ❤
I teach in China and he's spot on about how educational resources are distributed. They go to the best and the brightest through two national testing schemes: once after 9th grade that determines where you go to high school and once after 12th grade that determines if and where you go to university. In my 15 years teaching in China, I have not had a single discipline problem. Not one!
@Steve Nicoletti so why in the current list of the worlds top 20 universities has China just got 2 places - in fact there are more top 20 universities in Singapore than in all of China? What's going wrong?
@@revol148 首先两个已经不少了，北大清华的排名也是近期才上去的，几年前还是50开外呢。 教育资源方面不应该只看顶级大学的多少，其实更难的是让普通群众能有机会接受更好的教育。不过因为随着贫富差距增加，家庭教育投入的差距正破坏这一平衡，这才是中国教育目前存在的挑战。
@@wangdi3737 而且那种所谓的排名多是西方杂志和媒体做的，他们很多评价都很偏颇。
@@mikechen121 其实留过学的很多人都会感觉自己留学的学校排名虚高。我留学的学校排名前50，但是除了部分专业，很多专业，尤其是商科的毕业生，能力和国内顶级大学差距真的不小。我觉得国内顶级大学的世界排名真的被低估了。
很多排名对中国不公，这些所谓的排名也是美国霸权的一部分。
This was so true that it stopped being funny, and started being serious
Well at least we have Buyden in office to help them now
when the only people laughing there is the floor managers, you know it gets serious.
yes s
True, fools laughing at these facts like it's a joke.
I know, he sounds like he's happy about it.
I've spent considerable time traveling in China. Never once did I feel anything Communist about being there. You can go weeks, months without seeing any police or military. The cities are far better than US cities, the standard of living seems much higher than the US. Until you have been in that country long enough to not feel like a tourist, you can't understand that China is kicking America's butt in just about all catagories. I fully expect China's currency to become the default world currency replacing the US Dollar and America becoming a second class country. Bill is totally right, the US citizens are a silly people compared to the Chinese.
Thank you for your compliment! China still has a lot of problems such as high housing prices, rat race education system, weak medical system etc.. but nothing like Genocide or force labor. And It has made tremendous improvements in such a short time. I'm very proud of the Chinese government. As a Chinese now living in Europe, I feel that only those who have been to China or learning Chinese speak good things about China, while the ones who've never been to China always attack China or the Chinese government with misinformation and fake news they learned in social media. Nowadays there are more and more Chinese people returning back to China since we are quite disappointed in the western countries.
@@jojochau5950 I don’t know how to speak mandarin,but I do understand a little bit because my parents were of Hakka minority in Fukien,I love China,it’s a very safe country,no one bothers you,everybody has their own life to worry.
Absolutely. I am a regular visitors pre covid. I agree with you.
The US is a 3rd world country full of addicts and murderers. It's a scary place. You need a police officer for every ten square meters.
That's is because of Communism. How the fuck millitary or ugly cities are related to communism
Why always treating China as an enemy, really don’t understand this unnecessary aggressiveness.
Boss cant be brothers of Workers
Insecurity perhaps. Afraid losing #1 spot to China?
I don't think it's enmity, but rather more of a competitive rivalry.
Asians are not the white men equal. They are our workers.
Because China really has a chance of replacing the US to be number 1 again in the world. Remember that out of the last 23 centuries, China was pretty much the center and dominated power of 20 centuries
I'm from the UK and this was one of the best, most honest, hard hitting accurate analysis of where, not just the USA is, but where the Western Angelo Sphere nations are heading.
Western culture has been the target of the globalists for a century and now they have red China,1.4 billion people, on their team. The west is finished.
...and I bet you're one of those useful idiots who decried Trump.. well now you have your Biden (who China very much wanted in power), the disaster is now complete America is finished and the UK was long gone after Labour and Tony Blair.
Horseshit. Don’t count us out
@@acebars Yeah, Trump was the solution... 🤣 you are one of those silly people apparently..
@@mzmiller52 shut your mouth, people like you vote for conservatives who are in favour of neo liberal policies n deregulation.
The saddest part is the fact everyone is laughing and clapping like he's joking.
Yes
China is laughing about it.
@@jennylee2795 hopefully they all laugh in chinese
i wouldn't find it abjectly against a common interest
Personally I don’t think there’s anything funny about any of this. Especially since a lot of our leaders have sold us out. China is playing for keeps and America is playing on TickTock.
@@45sticky and Tiktok is a Chinese company fyi
I am an American who has lived in China... not that long ago..in Shenzhen, China! What he is saying is completely accurate!!
Instead of listening about China.. go there and find out. I promise you will be shocked..in a good way. I know i was😮😮😂😂
No, they will say you are paid by cpc 😂
Bill’s points, as painful as they are, still speak volumes about the troubles we are in. Never underestimate the POWER OF HUMOR, (often times unpleasant) and the truth it speaks. These issues still hold up…over a year after his original air date 3/12/2021.
It is now over THREE years since Bill Maher made this and it is still very true.
Wow, this is the most honesty I’ve seen in the media in over 4 years.
That's pretty scary because it might mean that a war is coming.
If you think that HE is the media, then you need to get your eyes off your phone and look around. He is just another talking point parrot that realizes his five years of trump jokes have reached a not so funny end. The government, all the government, have been selling out the American people and their way of life to the highest bidder (China) FOR YEARS. Really think of what he is saying, not good.
Yup, other media is garbage now
Wasn’t Bill a part of the corrupt system? I remember him talking bad about Trump.
@@kayoss662 nah if you actually watch this dude he literally shits on everybody
The fact that the audience is laughing literally at their own eulogy ,what a silly silly people .The dying embers of civilization
A tiny spark remains.. and sparks turn into flames?- R Crawford.
That would imply that 'Murica was ever civilized.
the world will go on and be better off
Weve had it too good in this country for decades. Time for some people to suffer and learn a lesson. Us maga people tried to warn you.
@@SDguy3030 lol follow the Q
On the bright side, we're number one in the world at killing what ever moves, even each other.
Here on Brazil it is serious now, noone, i mean, noone, see the USA as the leader of world, we see as a empire on a decline going faster and faster. The politicians prepare the red carpet for any chinese envoy here, at 2002 our China exports were near 4% and USA were 26%, today we exports 12% to America and 38% to China, the same trend went to imports, China projects here are booming, specially on finance, agriculture, infrastructure and minerals, and all these trade are already bypassing the dolar, being done directly on yuan.
America is dead as a nation.
the only hope for return to glory is a necessary evil. a competent dictatorship can make a country strong.
China and Russia are exactly the that.
Maybe Brazilians should immigrate illegally to China.
You know when his crowd goes silent... That's when you know he's got them.
He got them today.
His crowd still didn’t get the “yen” joke. Silly crowd.
@@noirrain6005 yeah, but you did, right? You got it right away. Coz you're smarter than the rest.
@@Nathan-gd7xq Indeed. I get all the jokes and make them as well since I’m not fragile like some. The jokes on you.
"Chynah" =P
His audience wasn't smart enough to know what he was saying was largely nonsense. Not the stuff about the US. That was true. But the stuff about China. Not true.
Not a huge Bill Maher fan, but I will tip my hat to the man for this. He is spot on.
He is spot on once in a while although it's becoming more frequent.
This was great.
I never agreed with the high-speed rail analogy though, I don't think it symbolizes progress like people seem to think it does. We really only move freight with it, Asia moves people with theirs. So, doesn't have to be fast.
@@cerberus8666 You point out that American trains are primarily about moving cargo, not people. Well maybe that’s the problem. Maybe it’s wrong that we don’t move people on trains in America. If you want to get from city to city in America, your only options are car, bus, or plane. That’s not sustainable. We have to change that.
@@danielsharon524 So when Maher says it he's spot on, when Trump says it and actually starts doing something about it he's "wacist".
@@acebars I didn't say that. Never have, never would, & you actually have no idea what you're talking about wrt my political views & especially as they relate to President Trump. The fact that I said "...once in a while" should've been a clue!
I have been in China several times, ridden the high speed trains and, went where I wished to go.
I found that the ordinary people were happy

Trump has been literally saying this
@FL B trump called out America's weakness to china since before he was president.
Now. The ex vice President Joe Biden goes on screen and says he has been in politics for 120 years!🤣
Face facts. Trump is strong 🇺🇲
@@johnathanpearson3203 lol Trump is a delusional idiot and cons lemmings like you constantly China has never been stronger its because of the dotard ....The world's second biggest economy closed out 2020 with an overall trade surplus of $78 billion for December, according to official customs data released Thursday. China's overall surplus for the year hit a record $535 billion, up 27% from 2019. Exports, meanwhile, rose to an all-time high.
"Amid all the noises on de-coupling and de-globalization, somewhat unexpectedly, the pandemic has deepened the ties between China and the rest of the world," wrote Larry Hu, chief China economist for Macquarie Capital, in a research report.
@@pg9072 yeah the dude in office for four years did it all... not like this shit started wayyy long ago and the ones in power shifted the blame on him to keep it going.
@@justinmccormick9721 yup, im no trump sycophant, but to act like hes the origin of all our current problems is incredibly narrow-minded and willeave us unable to find solutions to our problems. You usually have to properly identify the origin of a problem to solve it.
"If you want to get rich, build the road first." That's an old chinese proverb.
"要想富，先修路“ in Chinese
Naaaa that’s from Germany hilter check it
That is why chinatown arouns the world was sited usually in busiest road in city or town..if anyone notice...
It started from chairman Mao
And that's why jts infrastructure building is so important. It's the number one thing needed to escape poverty and develop. But the West, to preserve its hegemony and the Global South's dependency on the IMF and World Bank (you know, real debt trappers) is working their damnedest to stop the Belt and Road Initiative, which China invited the US to take part, and demonize it. It's also why they want to destabilize Xinjiang and.....I'll stop there. TMI....hehehe 😬
Huge respect to Bill for speaking the truth!
And the politicians still don’t worry…because for the most part WE don’t elect them, lobbyists and billionaires do.
As funny as this was, this was depressing ... because it's true.
100% agree. I didnt laugh, as this is our fucking reality for this lazy, the voice of 0.000001% of the population being loudest and most impactful, approach.
Well the good news is that we're owned by China and they'll soon get us back on our non existing high speed track.

@@replacementkillaz1174 oof, this one hurt....I would hope that it could hurt in the good, bracing, action-inducing way..... let's just say, I'm feeling "really* pessimistic.
Not really. 40% of China's population lives on less than $150 USD per month, in other words, in abject poverty. Bill is literally a mouthpiece for CCP propaganda in this video
As a Conservative I'm a little ashamed to say that Bill Mahr's talk on China is one of the best, most realistic factual pieces I've ever heard.
lol im a leftist and i also feel this way
Yet when the orange dude said it for years, the left termed him racist.
BS. China has a high gdp but low gdp per capita which is far more important. How you move with 11000 dollars per capita the people to middle class is up to you Bshitters. The richest people move away. And the reason why they can make everything fast is: slavery. You work for 12-16h or you have a big problem. Most of the people can’t even complain without dying. US had slavery. US doesn’t need it again 🙄
US still has slavery if u r honest, and look closely.
...in that note so do all countries all people are slaved to one form or another...
Googled it and found US has US$63,416 per capita as of 2020. Please answer this: does every one of 329 millions citizens there had made that amount in 2020? ...even for a kid there made US$63,416 per capita in 2020.
I don't need your BS about what "per capita" meant.
Just answer the real question without BS propaganda, will u? Stop quoting senseless numbers and brag about it with your big talks...blahblahblah. Do something,
please be honest
@@lordchikage9015 The 72 hour "996 workweek" (9 AM to 9 PM, 6 days) is hell of a lot harsher and wears out people way harder than the 955 in the States, but it got massive pushback, with most workweeks being the standard 40 hours in most industries. Alibaba's CEO got a ton of shit back then for posting stuff glorifying the insane grind that is 996. There was a real mass movement of young employees "lying flat" and doing the bare minimum in protest, especially as the hugely competitive labor market meant that even many with solid credentials ended up hard pressed to find decent jobs. The government didn't intervene and go give them "big problems", even though it likely could
Oh, and the "suicide nets" story comes from Taiwan and honestly is probably just there for more general saftey purposes.
You might also want to look at GDP PPP per capita and wealth inequality, and then factor in how there's plenty of expenses most Americans pretty much have to pay that are much more optional in China (one example being cars, on account of China having a great transit system. There's also how China has much higher home ownership rates, meaning less rentals per capita). These expenses stimulate the economy numbers by moving money around and therefore boost GDP while making the lives of the general populace worse. It's that classic joke about how breaking windows and paying to replace them boost the economy on paper while otherwise doing nothing.
Going back to your slavery point, no. The USA, put it lightly, is hilariously inefficient when it comes to tons of stuff (like healthcare. The White House spends more per capita on healthcare than any other country on earth on worse results, likely due to those funds getting sucked up by the pharmaceuticals industry who also happen to spend more on lobbying than weapons manufacturers and oil companies put together). Bullshit Jobs by Graeber does a good job of illustrating the insane waste of people's time that is built into the economy, primarily at the service sector. This isn't nearly as big of a problem in an economy still dominated by actually making tangible things.
Additionally, with the massive prison population, the hugely lopsided incarceration rates for POC, and how prison slave labor was actually enshrined in the constitution through the 13th amendment, you can't seriously state that slavery ended in the USA. It just got some nicer words painted over it and shoved under the rug.
This is 3 years ago but still relevant today.
At this point, I'm convinced that high-speed rail will never happen in America, and that is a national tragedy.
The fact that Bill Maher is making this much sense should terrify everyone.
yep maher is a schill himself
You said it. I wanted to cut him short but ended up listening all the way. Some wokenes as in "America wake the f$#ck up!!"
So true!
I can't get over the "I hope we have a recession cuz orange man bad" comment. Hollywood millionaire douchebag that don't give a rat's ass about anyone that's not rich and privileged like him IMO. Just because he is stating the obvious doesn't give him a pass with me.
Long time before became a President, Donald Trump had repeatedly said: "China is laughing at us (the US). They think we are just a bunch of fools". So sad, because the real fools (aka democRATS) never understand those words (even until now). Instead they hate Donald Trump to the very core and even want him to die.
He's hated by many and loved by few. Man, did he just speak some truth!
The Whole Truth.....
Meanwhile conservatives and Trump have been saying this same shit for years. The left is handing this country over to China.
@@istouder226 Dude wake up the Republican Party and dems are in bed together when the doors are closed. Track where your establishment republicans are getting funding from it leads back to China.
@@istouder226 that's what I was thinking wth, whenever they were complaining about China it was all "lolbigotry".. But *now* it's time to listen lmao
At least we're allowed to criticize China it's whom we can't criticize that he's concealing!
I gave a lecture at Guangzhou University and there were 1,200 students studiously taking notes, asking questions. I then gave another lecture at Drexel University in Philadelphia and kids were in social media, ate. When I stopped and said that Chinese kids were a wee bit more attentive, they looked at me like I was some sort of criminal. Their teacher even come to the podium and said to them (I swear I'm not making this up): Excuse him, he's from Europe, over there, they are not used to how students in the US operate. I then told them that their parents were paying north of 50K and that they were not making the most of that investment... It didn't go well.
That is why China's churns out millions of student in the crucial fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). While in the USA, China is "stealing".
It has less to do with democracy or totalitarianism. It has MUCH more to do with effective governing....and education.
You notice this NOW? It's been decades in the making.
No, I am sure he noticed it years ago, but he has been consumed with Orange Man Bad for four years.
We all saw it coming, some things are greater than all of us. No one individual could of prevented the collapse of the Roman Empire

How about Dumb & Dumber?
How about uneducated clueless idiots
Isn't Yen Japanese?
@@geedee1264 Yes and there's Bill being the self-righteous prognosticator.
Calling Americans "silly" is an insulting against silly people.
Bill Maher absolutely nailed it.
"We see a problem, we ignore it".
Not quite. We raise funds off of it, we run for office on it, we pay high price consultants to study it, we build entire industries around not solving it - think homelessness, middle east peace, the war on drugs.
Education needs a revival in the U.S. Won’t happen but it needs to be said.
Education actually makes little impact on people’s lives. The average American forgets 80% of what they learned from grades pre-K to 12. Only one third of Americans get a job related to their degree. Not to mention, many get majors that are purely useless like sociology. The fact is that we need LESS school, not more of it.
@@mosesking2923
Education should be about more than just finding a job. It should be about informing our populace of highly nuanced and complicated facts about how the world works.
@@Mechaghostman2 we’ve tried and failed for 70 years doing that. At some point, you have to acknowledge that the experiment failed and we need to move forward. Most Americans forget all the math, science, history, etc. that you force feed them. If you care about nuances, pursue them by yourself. School should be cut down to 4 years, just the basic essentials. Once you 10-13, go out and get a job. If you care about art or poetry, find a hobby.
@@mosesking2923 ugh... I completely, vehemently and wholeheartedly disagree. Education is everything. Without an education who will create/build/operate microchip processing plants? Or who will perform DNA analysis? Or who will run thermonuclear powerplants? Who will create vaccines? What you propose is a world akin to the movie Idiocracy or a stone age world. To say education makes little impact is to show how little education you have. Education is a lifelong thing... to stop learning is one of the saddest things ever. China cannot create... only copy... they do not teach learning there... that is what you want... comrade. 😐
@@guyfuntyme6050 if people are interested in math and science, they can pursue it at their own pleasure. The reality is that most education is forgotten by most Americans within one year of graduation. That is wasted time, money, and effort. And quite frankly, I have no time to waste.

So sadly true.
Me sitting here wondering WTF these people are laughing at.
The comment about the Chinese not giving an f. It's true - they don't.
They care more about nothing than honor, honoring the family, honoring mainland China. But they certainly do not give a cochroach's soon-to-be-fried ass about that photo in Seuss books. It's not one of the horrible photos that were around elsewhere in the olden days

@@Daniel-ld7xs I don't hear more people making fun of China or the Chinese than other famous countries. But it still sucks, people get to say the most racist things. Thing I hated most as a Western guy studying Chinese is that when colleagues see me reading in Chinese in all silence during coffee breaks, they start making fun of how the Chinese language sounds like. I don't think people would have the nerve to start laughing and babbling like Bill Cosby whenever they saw a black guy reading Malcom X. 太肉头啊。。。
@@henkka6456 Maybe not so much hearing people in real life calling us slurs, but mainly in comments. When I used to follow 7 news facebook page, every time when there's a post about China, anything to do with China, let alone anything Asian.... oh my gosh.. the shit you see in the comments. I had to unfollow it cause it was getting to me. I've just gotten dirty looks.
You said ALL of that right Bill, great job.
This episode is an ingenious work of art. Finally, you're starting to say things that are REAL
You don't need to set up an enemy to point out your own mistakes, that's what Bill's saying.
A 1000 likes to your comment. Someone understands!!
Very true
How is the audience laughing 😂 he talking about them lol
its a laugh track
Most Americans will clap if you just show them a piece of string 🤣
Bill Maher's audience has sucked for years. I don't know where his production team finds these people. Watch the clip where Christopher Hitchens calls them out lol
I didn’t see the intro but it’s just his crew and production staff for the last few shows.
The audience is fake. Even when they are 'real' they are fake.
We respect you; you're telling us the truth 😂
We became complacent. They worked hard.
His audience doesn’t even know whether to laugh or not. It’s starting to sink in that he’s jamming at them now.
i think its going to really confuse them when they see that tucker carlson made the same point a few days later.
Or trump lol
You know this IS the future that YOU wanted Bill!
In the 1970s a mid 20s Donald Trump revitalized a failing NYC by organizing building and infrastructure projects. That's what launched him into high society in the first place. It appears to me he just wanted to do something similar for the whole country, and instead of supporting that, you were busy arguing for deliberately causing an economic failure just to get rid of the guy who actually wanted to fix all the stuff you are now complaining we aren't doing!
We had ONE guy saying Chynah! Chynah Chynah! While the entire blue anon manufacturers of consent, such as yourself, were busy gaslighting and distracting us 24/7 about Russia.
You think your precious Beijing Biden is going to push back against the new rising empire or fix any of this? No.
YOU wanted this Bill, so don't pretend like you are the one spitting truth when this is the very failure you have been rooting for all along. You are part of the problem!
Maybe instead of demanding to know when America was ever great and screaming about racism (that originates from YOUR party), you could have said: hey, we have a checkered past, but let's put that behind us and work to make the country great NOW! Obviously that's too much to ask from a snake such as yourself who only tells the truth when it's convenient.
Yeah I don't understand his audience. It seems like he's directly making fun of them sometimes and they just mindlessly clap at whatever he says. He has a point in this clip though
@@TheJeremyKentBGross trump revitalized NYC all by his lonesome? You do know that the only reason trump tower got built was because trump made a deal with the mob right? Of course you don't, forget I asked. He was a criminal then and nothing's changed. The only thing trump tried to do is pull as much money out of our government as possible. How many millions did we spend at rump resorts over 4+ years? It all went in his pocket ya rube. The only infrastructure he built was a pointless wall that can be cut through with a sawsall, @ 20 million a mile. Both sides have issue that are dragging us down, but there were no huge campaigns to stop the publication of Dr. Seuss books, or un-gender Mr./Mrs. potato head, who on the hell cares about these things? I've never met anyone. There was a huge campaign however to funnel billions to trump friendly contractors for a pointless wall because a large portion of the population hates brown people. So both sides have issue, but one side has nazis and racists(your projection is bullshit BTW), so some people have to waste time fighting fascists instead of getting things done. So lets agree that cops should stop shooting black people in the back, Gay people are fine, women should have choices regarding their own bodies, your religion is yours and you have no right to force it on anyone else, and not all the money belongs to the people who already have most of it. Then maybe we can move forward as a nation.

So, Trump recognized the problems w/China and has been critical of them and American policy towards them since before 2013 at least.

Trump wont denounce racism, if we havent shown it to you then it didnt happen... over and over and over....
Bill only touched the tip of the iceberg. China is now a cashless society , it has implemented 5G mobile , connectivity between cities is incredible , it’s infrastructure is impeccable , personal and property safety is world class , the people are super hardworking , air pollution has improved substantially , services like fd delivery, ride hailing, package delivery and online shopping is seamless, subway lines everywhere. I cannot see US catching up even in 20yrs.

The examples Bill brought up are actually the benefit of having a centralised dictatorial state. It can steer state-capital towards longer-term projects without having to compromise with special interests groups, opposition parties and the like.
This is how China was always ruled and it enabled them to build the Great Wall. Nowadays, it enables them to build high-speed rail.
America used to be the democratic nation that *could* get things done, but the present partisanship ruins everything.
I don't think it is partisanship that ruins everything. because no matter who is in charge, policies are controlled by a few entities that pull all the strings...that's why all administrations would rather spend money on defense, wars, and financial bailouts of huge corporations rather than education and infrastructure. How else are they going to get richer and stay in power?.
I told some of my students last week that were busy screwing around and not taking their academics serious that the Chinese are studying their butts off and we are laughing, joking, and making fun of their names. It is the truest thing I’ve told a few of my students in years.

Hats off to Bill Maher, this is probably the best monologue in his career. I lived in the US over the last 20 years and regularly traveled to China. What I witnessed is that China is improving year by year, while the US is moving at a snail's pace. US politicians have no clue and just focus on China's human rights issue, and overlook the real strengths of China that lie in education, long-term plans (5 y, 10 y, 20 y, ...), and deliver the results that benefit the people. I am glad to see that the Biden administration is moving in the right direction. There is a reason why only two countries successfully touched down on Mars.
The Biden administration is moving in the right direction? That is Wonderful. What EXACTLY is the policy or policies that is accomplishing this? Is it his:
Surrender to China?
Worship of China?
Accepting of millions of dollars - thru his son Hunter - from China?
Leaving behind American citizens in Afghanistan to be captured, tortured and murdered by the Taliban?
Leaving behind of $85 billion in military equipment in Afghanistan which he knew would be bought and reverse-engineered by his owners in China?
destruction of the US economy on behalf of China and the One World Government Globalists behind the fig leaf that he is bravely battling a flu virus that is only dangerous to the super old or seriously sick?
shutting down of foreign-income earning, & US economy supporting domestic, oil and gas production, so as to force the US onto pie-in-the-sky solar technology which cannot sustain a modern economy?
Please point out the “right direction” to me and enumerate the “benefits” which I am not seeing or feeling. See if you can gaslight me.
Moving in the Right Direction? Seriously? We ARE talking about our Special Needs POTUS. Correct?
3 countries.
My client in China retired at age 55 and the party is paying his pension! Plus free healthcare! Yes. They do have human rights issues but they are improving at a pace we’ve ever witnessed before.
The sad thing is the audience laughs and applaud every time thier decline is highlighted. Wow!

Yet will never add names to the ones wholly responsible for the PC nightmare of a country that can’t get anything done. He won’t name The current administration or the Milwaukee chapter of “Drag Queen Story Hour” who’s head was just arrested for child porn. People will say “drag queen story hour” has nothing to do with China’s advancement ahead of us ...but are they lying to themselves? It’s an example of every city council that is FORCED to devote countless days in allowing something like this into their city because American parents can’t be bothered to read to their kids for ONE solitary hour. Or is it really because of that? I posit that the people who send their children to these folks are doing it in order to boast on Twitter and to their liberal friends that they “are helping marginalized sexual orientations.” Would the Chinese care about this? No. Would they even allow it? No. Common sense tells me that groups who want to read to, and demand access to your children’s based SOLEY on the fact of their sexual orientation (being a drag queen) are dangerous. It’s like “reformed rapists” demanding to teach women how to bake, something is wrong. But if you say it, Bill Maher’s party will jump down your throat.
