@McSmurray There are places however, where significant government investment has made many goods cheaper for Chinese, i.e. electric cars and solar panels. However this does not spread to the wider economy.
@McSmurray However, American's have a much easier time buying tradable goods. Imported Beer, Samsung TVs, European Cars, etc. While some wealtheir people in nice cities may afford these, unlike in america, it is much harder for the average chinese person to.
@McSmurray Additionally, no matter how shiny the buildings are or new the subway system is, it doesn't change the fact that more money moves through New York City than any other place on earth. And someone living in NYC can afford more modern amenities.
@McSmurray I am not some sort of american idealist fundamentalist. However advanced China may be, and it is in many categories, it still falls short of the U.S. in many economic categories. Especially for the people that do not live in tier 1 or 2 cities.
@joshuawolk but why would you ever search that up? its a romanized name in japanese, and isnt used by google maps. doesnt even show up when you google it.
@joshuawolk let's look at number 8, "Kangoku-Iwa". this is actually Prison Island. a well marked and shown island on google maps. You're trying to update an outdated archive, but you're pulling incorrect data.
@joshuawolk I can't even find records of any of these places. you seem to have discovered some weird archive. additionally, you just provided 26 of the supposed 50. Still absolutely useless and not a 'map made by the U.S. intelligence community."
@joshuawolk I don't see any evidence that the GNS is used for coordinate data. I checked on google maps as well as NOAA and other charts and the locations of the islands were correct. your AI made something completley useless
