PETE FAIRHURST 2
For years, I’ve been attempting to explain that everything is better in China than in the United States. The gap is so massive that if an American raised on cartoonish propaganda about their birthplace as ‘the greatest country on earth’ visits China, it can trigger a serious personal crisis. It simply does not compute. Unsurprisingly, Americans who have never been to China struggle to process this reality and often revert to mindless claims like “China is a third-world country” or “Chinese people don’t have any freedom” (some even go so far as to claim ‘Chinese are slaves to the government’).
The reality is that China not only boasts a drastically higher standard of living for the average person but also offers much more freedom than the United States. (It is arguably impossible to have prosperity without freedom, hence the fact that the decline in the American quality of life can so easily be linked to restrictions put on personal freedom.)
When I say “China is superior,” I do not mean to imply that Chinese people are superior to Americans. I am simply noting the objective matter that China is a superior country to live in and the Chinese system is capable of much more than America. Rather than an indictment of the people of America, this is an indictment of the American system of liberal democracy and its values of feminism, homosexuality, multiculturalism, and the decadent culture that comes along with this set of values. China does not operate on a bizarre set of abstract ideas about the nature of man, and therefore the competence of the individual and the group are much higher.
Consider this: if you heard that in one country, three out of four people are dangerously overweight, while in another, the number is one out of twenty, you would likely assume that the country with the lower obesity rate is better in many other ways. The physical degradation of Americans is highly visible and indicative of a culture with profound problems
The misconceptions about China being poor or repressive clearly originate from the US government and media machine. Yet, many who are willing to question the media’s narrative about Jewish power cannot grasp that the same Jewish-controlled media lies about China.
Last year, during the height of the genocide being committed by the Jews against the people of Gaza, the US Congress voted to ban the Chinese-controlled social media app TikTok on the grounds that it was allowing Americans to see what Jews were doing to the helpless people of Palestine. Previously, many in the government had tried to ban TikTok on the grounds of “Chinese spying,” though they never provided any detailed explanation (the app’s code is visible to Google and Apple, making it impossible for TikTok to have spying capabilities beyond those of any other app). There was not enough support, however, until people like Senator Josh Hawley were able to argue that the Chinese were turning Americans into antisemites by allowing them to see videos of the atrocities in Gaza that were being blocked by Western social media companies.
When the ban was set to take effect on January 19, a wave of US TikTok users protested by downloading “RedNote,” a Chinese app designed for domestic use (unlike TikTok, which was created for an international audience). Americans on RedNote were then able to see the real China for the first time, and were shocked to see that life in America is much more difficult than it needs to be in the current year, where technology has developed to the point where there is no reason for people to work multiple jobs and struggle to survive. While few made the connection between China’s higher quality of life and its adherence to traditional cultural norms, this link will eventually become undeniable.
Unsurprisingly, many on the left and right (and even “far right”) claimed that RedNote was not showing the “real China” and that outside of all of the futuristic cities people were seeing on the app, everyone in China is secretly poor and oppressed by their evil communist government.
Beyond spreading misinformation about China, the US has blocked the import of many Chinese products. This means that Americans are unaware that China now has two different companies releasing smartphones that are objectively better than those produced by Apple, or that an entire list of companies have blown past Tesla and are now releasing EVs that are significantly cheaper and better.

While the US has gone to extraordinary lengths to block superior Chinese products—clearly violating its own ‘free trade’ principles—it lacks the mechanisms to stop the import of software. Last year, gamers were awed by the fact that three of the year’s biggest hit games, in three different genres (Black Myth: Wukong, Marvel Rivals, and Path of Exile 2), were made by Chinese companies. These games were celebrated not only for avoiding the transsexual, feminist, and interracial themes that dominate modern Western games but also for their technical and creative superiority. The quality of these games and the attacks on them by the American media caused many to rethink their views on China. There was an outcry when Wukong was denied the Game of the Year Award at the Game Awards, and Wukong won easily when gamers were allowed to vote in the Steam Awards.
I have been pointing out the superiority of the quality (and price) of consumer electronics and I wrote extensively about the superior video games released by China. But many continued to deny reality, coming up with various excuses to align with their belief that “America is better.”
Last week, the Chinese dropped the consumer product equivalent of a nuclear bomb on the United States by releasing their DeepSeek AI model for public use, and it is clear that this is going to finally break the delusion. DeepSeek R1 is superior in every way to ChatGPT, which is currently the most advanced model in the West. While providing a much cleaner and accurate chat experience, it also runs on a fraction of hardware that the Western models require, which caused the stock price of Nvidia, the company that produces virtually all of the computing power for AI, to drop massively.

BREAKING:
Chinese AI platform DeepSeek has overtaken ChatGPT on Apple’s, $AAPL, downloads rankings, per TC
It was launched only 5 days ago. With investment less than $10 milion and was build by only 200 people.
This caused NVIDIA to go down over 11% in premarket trading,… pic.twitter.com/PiSkAZXlOP

The Chinese developed this model with just 200 people and at a minimal cost. By releasing it as open source, they have ensured that every major tech company—Microsoft, Meta, xAI, and others—will be forced to adopt it as the basis for their own code. There is no conceivable way the US tech sector could be more thoroughly humiliated. The gap is so massive as to be almost unbelievable, and proves that these companies are vastly overvalued and that their oligopoly status has made them as decadent as obese as the average American.
When I speak of China having more freedom than America, I don’t simply mean that there is more free speech, with a much wider range of allowed opinion, or that the cops are not psychopathic thugs. I also stress the point that the US government’s partnership with massive corporations has allowed for these corporations to use government power to crush competition from smaller companies, which, along with ensuring wealth remains in a few small hands, destroys ingenuity. It is not a fluke that DeepSeek was developed by a small Chinese company and not TenCent or one of the other large tech companies in China. When you have a system that allows for both big companies and competition from small upstarts, the upstarts are often run by young people who are much hungrier than the executives at big companies, and this creates conditions for the small guy to outdo the big and bloated corporation.
Another obvious takeaway is that the Chinese team that developed DeepSeek is entirely made up of male Chinamen, without any diversity at all, which brings into question the claims by the American system that “diversity is our strength,” and a “rainbow” team is better than a homogeneous one. It would appear that these “diversity” initiatives represent decadence rather than competence.
A Time to Reflect
The American media is no doubt going to dismiss this monumental development by the Chinese, even as every American company is forced by necessity to adopt the DeepSeek AI model. But those who are looking at the situation in reality should take this time to reflect on what exactly is going on in America.
Does it really need to be like this? Is it really “the economy” that is driving the enforcement of liberal values, or is it the reverse? Is the economy of the West being forced to conform to social norms that are being enforced for their own sake?
I am not Chinese. I am American. My purpose in explaining that China is a vastly superior country to America is to change America, not to explicitly promote China. Liberal values are a collective social suicide pact. If America continues on the path it is on right now, the path of decadence and depravity, we will be left in the dustbin of history, and be largely forgotten, a footnote and Mandarin history books.
Would it not be better to reflect on why and how China has become so much better than America and to change course, so that America has a place in the future world that is now emerging? The administration of Donald Trump offers opportunities to change things. These opportunities might not be huge, but they present a challenge to the established norms of liberalism.
China doesn’t want a war with the United States. They want cooperation and healthy competition. The US agenda to confront and somehow overpower China with military force is destined to fail for the same reasons that US attempts to overpower China in the tech sector have failed in such a humiliating fashion.
The future is open for us. We need to reverse course. We need to end this project of liberalism, to end this obsession with women, homosexuals, and brown people. We need to return to the values that made European civilization great in the first place, which are rooted in the Christian concept of man as a creation of the divine, rather than as economic units.
