Beijing has surpassed New York City to become the new billionaire capital of the world

America is on its last legs while China's taking over. Yay.

I only ask that they refrain from eating bats, and that they greatly improve their virology-lab security protocols..

Amazing. The world order is definitely shifting. Soon everything Chinese will be considered sexy by the materialistic west. Mark my words.

I hope Mandarin becomes the world's prefered language.

Now if only they could stop spitting in restaurants, elevators, and train stations.

So much for 'communism'. Lol.

If American business owners had a never ending supply of desperate poor people to exploit more of them would be billionaires.

Having more billionaires is no point of pride. All it does is highlight gross wealth inequality.

While Beijing has billionaires, I'm sure New York has far fewer people eats bats and rats, shitting in the streets, and living in sewers.

CHING CHOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!

They're all still filthy animals.

So there's that.

Good luck with that. I'm not a billionaire, but I would never invest money in a country were the political regime can just expropriate you and throw you into prison. Also, who the fuck wants to live in China when you have enough money to live in beautiful places like Paris, London or St. Tropez?

Maybe some of it will trickle down...

Good. Billionaires destroyed NYC. I wish that number was ZERO

The city of Beijing has a population of 22 million people. NYC is only about 8.4 million people. Percentage wise it's far smaller.

Anyway, what is so great about having a concentration of wealth.

Better brush up on your language skills.

Ching Chong, bitches!

Our transformation is complete!

I am waiting for the day Chinese farm trolls overtake Boris.

I bet NYC has more gun crimes too

But less capital punishment, r17

Bejing has many more people for one and income inequality is not something to be proud of-

Sum ting wong.

Chinks are disgusting. I will never find their men remotely attractive or their filthy culture interesting. Hard pass.

R21 I don’t think they are crazy about you either lol

The west is over

I thought that New Yorkers were constantly complaining how their city was being taken over by the rich, and the regular New Yorkers were being forced out. Now the idiots on DL complain that their city doesn't have enough billionaires? BWAAAAAAH.

R21- i take it you don't like Chinese food either.

Good, they can help pay reparations for the ChinaVirus!

R21- Are you black?

R21 confirmed racist. Is being racist towards Asians here acceptable ?

I don't see China becoming this economic juggernaut. They import most of their fossil fuels and with Peak Oil they, like the rest of the world will find it difficult to keep the manufacturing going in twenty years.

Solar and wind turbine energy require MASSIVE fossil fuel inputs to build AND maintain, so without ABUNDANT fossil fuels there will be no solar or wind energy. Basically were FUCKED.

R26 Only if Americans make reparations for the Spanish flu lol

The CORRECT term is Wuhan Virus.

At least China don’t neglect their poor unlike...

R19 I think there’s more inequality in America haha

And you only have your big box stores to blame =)

R28, you must be new here. Racism against Asians on DL is both accepted and encouraged.

R36, the correct term is ORIENTALS.

R36 No I would FF it

R37- In 1970 that was the correct term.

You MUST be in Europe.

is r23 posting from 1453?

If you can make it in Beijing, you can make it anywhere.

More likely that you will learn to do the same.

If the CCP would just change its name, there'd be a lot less hostility from ignorant dummies in Middle America. How about the People's Party? Or the Social Democratic Party? Or the Nationalist Party—co-opt Taiwan's own founding party's name.

Not exactly an Elon Musk here.

MANY flyover dumbfucks here.

R42 What’s that ?

R42 translation: I love to eat dead bats while shitting on the street and digging through my fake Gucci purse.

DLers: Has Beijing Bounced Back?

R47 The lyrics to Beijing, Beijing! If you can make it there...

They’re just going to be hungry for more billionaires an hour later.

China has about 4 times the population of the United States.

Just stole the IP

Better fly out today

I'm going to be a part of it

Beijing, Beijing

But it's in freefall, R52. By the end of the century, it's likely to be around 500m which is still larger than the US, but nowhere near the current figures.

CNN is promoting CCP propaganda. So is anyone who refuses to question their illegal, immoral, and racist imperialism in Africa.

R47 it’s about you. Better start learning chinese!

Ching chong, ching chong!

Watch this. Second half especially. They see us as we are.

People are seriously linking Fox News and Tucker Carlson on DL? We used to complain about the frau invasion, but the recent invasion by deplorables is even worse.

r1, I hope this process means people like you stop frequenting sites created by Americans, with the majority of their content geared towards Americans, and the majority of their visitors from America. Really lean into the idea that the world would be better if the USA were a non-factor and GTFO off our sites (to start). Anything less is hypocrisy and any justification for not frequenting the Chinese Datalounge is an excuse.

r58 we'll pass.

r59 these trolls are tiresome.

R57 = David Cross

I am as nervous about China as the next person but some - actually, most - of the responses on this thread confirm my belief that the majority of Americans are dumb, parochial, ill-educated, racist rubes.

Especially the supposedly " enlightened" NYC posters, R 62.
