A Swede Returns to Silicon Valley from China
I can not disagree with this article more, and I do not mean with his experiences, that is fine, embrace your feelings. But to pretend that China _solves_ these social problems is a farce. China _jails_ these social problems. China _forces_ these social problems to work in mines and other forced labor industries. China _censors_ anybody who questions it. They have a god damn firewall blocking people from finding any information on their government&#x27;s ills. Talk about a walled garden, or should I say a firewalled garden.<p>He is in such a privileged position in China. He is a white man with money. He is the _elite_ in Beijing that he so quickly judges in San Francisco.

Can the USA do better? Of course, without a doubt. But it is such a false equvilancy to compare the laissez faire problems of the west with the oppressive problems of China.
