"China is the future, do you agree?"


How would you answer this, and how would you expect Chinese netizens on Xiaohongshu to answer?
I will link to the thread in the comments because I want you to take a moment and think about it first.

Stovetop @lemmy.world I would like to hope no one nation is the future. Replacing one global hegemony with another is not my idea of progress.

I'm onboard with Wales. Let Wales rule for a bit.

Oh my, I can't even begin to imagine what a Texan or Creole Welsh accent would sound like if that was the international language! 😵💫

Stovetop @lemmy.world In one sense, as a key component of the UK, they already had that chance somewhere between the years of 1600-ish to 1945-ish.

Heh, I think you've just pissed off Welsh/Irish/Scottish people with that sentiment.

We were rubbish at it, but I don't think there are sympathy points for incompetence. The Welsh and Irish definitely got dragged along wthout a say though
