Why China, with same size of power grid, won’t suffer outage like in the US

So you are a democrats? Bill Clinton may be the best president in recent memory, and I can even forgive him for his affair with Lewinski.

US politics is far from "extremely unforgiving", China's is and ruthless. You mentioned Jiang Chaoliang, the former Hubei CCP boss, in your previous post. He suffered an "instant political carrer death". He is among 3000+ Chinese government officers who lost job due to incompetance in the fight against the pandemic, and their crime is simply not performing at best possible level, "you could have done that!" How many US federal and state employees should be fired based on this standard?

I think Ted Cruz has more than 50% chance to be re-elected as he has plenty of time to turn around. So no punishment.

Everything being equal, those "white monkeys" have one thing above you when it comes to commenting on China affair, they are living or lived in that country. So they have /had first hand experience. You can only rely on 2nd hand info which could very likely be "biased, skewed or distored", even they labelled themselves "free media", which itself, IMO, is the first step of brainwashing. Why would I have to read anything else if I have "free media" already?

Chinese PDF members are merely trying to make their dissenting voice heard in the world where the West dominants the discourse on China subject, which almost always against China and Chinese interests, especially in today's political envirnment.

I do agree with you there is merit in both governance systems, but "Can we all get alone" and learn from each other and make life better for all?

No I'm not Democrat - I don't believe in big government or socialist policies.
My cousin lived in Beijing with his family for many years they returned to France in 2018.
I visited them a few times, I was horrified to discover that my thirteen year old niece took a taxi alone to travel around the city.
He assured me it was safe and completely normal. On the surface, I couldn't see any signs of issues.

But in private conversations with Chinese friends many concerns emerged.
The one common theme became forced conformance - there are things one mustn't say or do; period.
Debt and inability to service debt and the associated stress is another common theme.
Not unusual to have a mortgage and credit card debt but it is staggering to see how income is disproportionate to property prices - the gap is enormous.
Surprisingly, the other main issue that surfaced was the amount of corruption in the Chinese society - it is mind blowing.

Finally, I have friends in the US that migrated from China in the last decade. Many maintain a connection to their cities and towns in China.
Some of them are ultra nationalist and do not tolerate any criticism of China. While others talk openly about real issues, government excesses and hardships of life in China.

Media anywhere isn't free of entrenched ideals. Its normal, like minded folks tend to gravitate towards each other and push their ideals and narrative on others.
Their goal is to influence public opinion towards policies they hold dear. It has been so since the days of George Washington, most of us can sort wheat from chaff.
A small minority and often the most vocal among us can't but the rest of us the silent majority are the ones that matter.

From your article the only thing I see is debt and inability to service debt, you mean to say the Muricans with their debt load is having a blast. I can tell you the average Chinese have a net positive wallet even when earning less, the debt ridden are most tier 1 city dwellers who are buying their 2nd or third home. And don't bullshit me on credit cards, 90% of Chinese don't even use credit cards, they consume when they have the money. The biggest debt was always mortgage loan payments. Even then they are paying 30-40% down-payment.
