2021 Was China’s Best Year Ever. Here’s Why

January 2, 2022

Amidst global gloom, 2021 was the best year in contemporary Chinese history. Here’s what they accomplished.

By Godfree Roberts

• Eliminated extreme poverty.
• Reached 98% home ownership.
• Kept the Covid death rate at 0.6% of America’s.
• Grew the economy by $2 trillion PPP, the fastest growth ever.
• Became the richest country on earth.
• Became the world’s biggest overseas investor.
• Became the world’s largest movie market.
• Produced one new billionaire and 300 millionaires every workday.
• Completed new train lines in seven countries, including Laos’ first.
• Ran 15,000 cargo trains to and from Europe, up 30% YoY.
• Joined RCEP trade pact, with 30% of global GDP and 30% of the world’s population.
• Sold $140 billion retail online in 24 hours (Amazon’s record is $5 billion).
• Launched the first central bank digital currency.
• Dominated scientific research and issued the most patents of any country.
• Built three exascale computers to win the Gordon Bell prize.
• Built a programmable quantum computer 10,000x faster than Google’s Sycamore.
• Operated the first integrated, 3,000-mile, commercial, quantum communications network.
• Brought online two gas-cooled Pebble Bed nuclear power plants.
• Fired up two thorium-fueled reactors, eliminating uranium from power generation.
• Released a Covid treatment that reduces hospitalizations and deaths 78%.
• Made 55% of global energy savings.
• Generated 1 terawatt of renewable energy.
• Installed one-million 5G base stations, giving Tibet better 5G service than New York.
• Communicated between satellites via lasers, 1,000x faster than radio waves.
• Operated the world’s most powerful solid rocket engine, with 500 tonnes thrust.
• Flew three hypersonic missiles around the planet.
• Released a fractional orbital bombardment missile from another missile at 17,000 mph.
• Simultaneously commissioned three warships, becoming the world’s biggest navy.

Expect China to maintain this pace through 2022 by launching, among other things, the first, greenfield, automated, 21st century city for six million knowledge workers. With 70% woods and lakes, the loudest sound will be birdsongs.

One tenth of this list accomplished, a government would guarantee reelection.

 

[Viet]

I pick one from the list:
“Communicated between satellites via lasers, 1,000x faster than radio waves.”
As we know it the fastest speed is c the speed of light. How can laser be 1,000 times faster than radar wave that travels with the speed of light?
Or radio wave is not radar wave?

Speed of information transmission, like 4G, 5G, 6G

 

[Viet]

Speed of information transmission, like 4G, 5G, 6G

That’s line coding.
Speed is the same in 3g or 4g or 5g.
Principle also used in quantum coding.

I guess it is the speed it was talking about, cause in China we call it "speed", it's not about the speed of light or so on.

 

[Viet]

I understood the context however it’s just misleading because technically not correct.
The author should have said that instead: China invents a technology that beats every western communication technology.

If China is engaged in election game, 1/10 of this list could not be achieved in the first place. Only a far sighted, independence oriented government has the willpower and courage to pour so much resources on all the very basic scientific fields.

Many PDF members are still mocking that China doesn't have democracy and freedom. If you were Chinese, would you trade all the achievements for democracy?

Populism kills good governance as it cares more about face/image than content.

 

[大汉奸柳传志]

best year for America too stock reached all time high.

 

[kuge]

best this year certainly it will be less best going forward?

Record 56 orbital launch.

China has good governance. Vast majority of other countries don’t have good governance.

 

[Stranagor]

China has good governance. Vast majority of other countries don’t have good governance.

Good governance is true democracy. For example, people should be fully represented in house ownership or affordable healthcare.

If a regime promotes democracy without good governance, that regime is Tyranny, the worst according to Aristotle.

Technically its correct, it's just your comprehension problem. It is 1000x faster compared to conventional tech. Nothing to do with light or sound numb numb. Conventional satellites use microwave not laser communications.
Btw, I think there are other achievements which is not listed there. Nowadays China does so many things, I can't even remember the achievements, used to be able to keep track.
