I keep criticizing Communist government in China frequently. But here is a thread on the positive side that Communists have created for China.. well the Capitalistic side of those pretending to be Communists on the economy side.
You will be amazed at how fast China has changed.
1) Cashless society: China uses so less cash today, that pickpockets are unemployed! WeChat Pay & Ali Pay are huge.
WeChat is China's largest messaging service today. Owned by Tencent.
Taobao is the world's largest eCommerce site.
42% of the world's eCommerce happens in China!
2) China has over 1000 no cashier or no employee stores now. Businesses adapted to "contactless" sales, much ahead of Corona Virus era.
See this store in Beijing where you can shop & pay in cashless mode, with NO employee. And it is faster and safer!
3) "California and Massachusettes have more Communists than China. In fact the Chinese call themselves Communists, but they are the best Capitalists in the world now!" - Laughs Jim Rogers, Legendary Hedge Fund investor.
4) China is an Autocratic Capitalist country today. Definitely not a Marxist Communist regime that it was under Mao Dezong.
Chinese communist Party run autocratic government, is actually the world's biggest capitalist company today. Yes, that's a fact!
5) China created one million new millionaires in just one year!
China is creating 2 new billionaires every week.
1/3rd of the global luxury market buyers are Chinese now.
6) China built the world's largest high speed train system in just around 15 years.
India yet to have ONE km of very high speed train still.
And Maharashtra, don't delay India's first bullet train project please. Gujarat is doing well on its side.
For Bharat's sake complete it.
7) Shenzen was a group of villages in 1980. Today, world's biggest manufacturing hub. It has 1500 scientific research institutions!!!
#Shenzen today has:-
World's third biggest internet company - Alibaba
World's biggest maker of drones - DJI (70% of the world's drone market!)
8) Shenzen has:
World's biggest maker of plugin electric cars - BYD
World's biggest telecom equipment company - Huawei
World's DNA superpower, which owns more than 50% of the world's genomic sequencing machines - BGI
World's largest Metro line.
9) Shenzen:
World's largest all electric bus line with 16000+ electric buses! (US has 300 electric buses).
60,000 businesses invested in Shenzen!
Keep in mind, Shenzen build more skyscrapers in a year than all the cities of US put together.
Chinese Communists have done a lot!

Long ago, a young man from Gujarat went to WB to get Sanyasa.
The monk looked into his eyes, said - "Not now. This nation needs your service in a different way".
Today, that man @narendramodi has written a front page article in Hosa Digantha Kannada paper on #VaccineCentury !!
...
On #VaccineCentury
moment, we should remember that great Ramakrishna Math Sanyasi who foresaw the need of Modi for India decades ago!! No one could have steered India out of COVID trouble as Modi has done so far..

Even if you take 2 minutes per vaccine delivery, India has spent 41,00,000 man days or 11,000 man years till now just in injecting. Add the Crores of man days of research, preparation, transportation, mobilization, PR to remove hesitancy and followup on COWIN digital world...
Some interesting numbers from @myogiadityanath's front page ad today.
1) UP has built/building 5 international airports in the past 4.5 years. 2 intl airports in 70 yrs before that!
Since 2017, 15,246 km of new roads constructed. 14,471 km widened & 925 fly overs/bridges built.
2) Rs.1,866 crore of illegal properties owned by mafia, seized.
Compared to 2016, there is a 70% reduction in dacoity, 69% ⬇ in loot, 29% ⬇ in murders, 35% ⬇ in kidnapping, 52% ⬇ in rapes and 12% reduction in dowry deaths. Clearly Yogi has shown law and order muscle!

1) India's critical medical infra improvement in the past 1 year under @narendramodi era.
For COVID19 treatment:
India had a total of 62,458 oxygen supported beds on April 21, 2020.
India had a total of 2,55,168 oxygen supported beds on April 9, 2021.
A 309% increase in 1 yr!
2) India had 27,360 ICU beds on Apr 21, 2020.
India had 75,867 ICU beds on Apr 9, 2021.
A 177% increase in 1 year.
India had 13,158 ventilators on Apr 21, 2020.
India had 23,618 ventilators on Jan 28, 2021.
A 80% increase in 1 year.
There are more, but for non COVID patients.
3) I know the above increases are still not enough, seeing of COVID 2nd wave deaths, but at least see how improvements. Note, just increasing the devices is not enough. We also need Doctors, Nurses and lab technicians ramped up at a much higher scale. That's the real challenge!
1) Most of us never observed our breathing techniques till we got to see how Corona Virus targets human breathing.
Oxygen, ICU, Ventilator, Remdesivir and everything else point to only 1 thing eventually.. the COVID patient is unable to breath properly as the lungs are affected.
2) What can you do to at least be in a better physical and mental position if the virus hits you in the future?
Develop better breathing techniques that make lungs stronger, and also make you more healthier mentally and physically. You might have a better chance to fight back.
3) One prominent Yogic breathing technique is #Pranayama. It is a collection of breathing routines from ancient India. Then there are very well constructed techniques like the Sudarshan Kriya of @ArtofLiving.
You learn to make your lungs more efficient to oxygenate the body well
