Real China vs the Western propaganda

With Expat Adventuring in Asia (an American who has lived 15 years in China) ...

"For years, we were told that China was the enemy. A threat to democracy. A rival to fear and contain. But what if everything we’ve been told was wrong? What if China was never the threat—what if it was actually the blueprint?
I’ve lived in China for 15 years, and I’ve seen firsthand a story that the Western media rarely tells: the story of a country that measured success differently. While the United States measured profits, stock markets, and corporate growth, China measured clean water, food, housing, power, healthcare, dignity, and stability. And in just 40 years, China achieved the greatest poverty reduction in human history, lifting 800 million people into a better life. Meanwhile, America has been measuring the wrong things—and serving capital instead of people. That’s why U.S. infrastructure is collapsing, why homelessness rises daily, and why millions of Americans go hungry while trillions are spent bailing out corporations and banks."

A trip to scenic XiTang 西塘, ZheJiang province
XīTang is a picturesque, ancient water-town in JiaShan County, ZheJiang province; within the flat-lands of the YangTse River delta. Its history dates back to at least the Spring and Autumn Period when it was located at the border of the ancient states of Yue and Wu. XiTang is crisscrossed by nine rivers and many canals, linked by a multitude of distinct stone bridges. In the older parts of town, the buildings are set along the banks of the canals, which serve as the main transportation thoroughfares. The town has maintained a tranquil ambiance and scenic beauty, making it a popular tourist attraction and has been frequently depicted in traditional Chinese landscape painting. In XiTang, there are well-preserved groups of buildings from the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) and the Qing dynasty (1644-1911). XiTang also contains numerous antique residences and temples, such as the Temple of the Seven Masters and a 1,200 meter canal-side, tiled-roof long-corridor. Other places of interest include : XiYuan Garden, with trees and plants, lakes and bridges, pavilions and fountains all harmoniously integrated. Xue's House, which is a typical wooden courtyard of the rich merchant from this region during the later Qing dynasty. WangXian Bridge, which was constructed during the Song dynasty, more than a thousand years ago. XiTang can be explored on a day-trip from Shanghai or HangZhou. From Shanghai, the journey takes around 1:45 hours by coach. Alternatively, one can first take a train or bus to JiaShan, from where there is a bus leaving for XiTang every 10 minutes, a distance of around ten kilometers. One might choose to stay overnight in XiTang or JiaShan to take in the evening or early morning ambiance.
