I made it a couple of minutes in. The assumption that people of the same “race” will think alike and therefore get on better is flimsy enough, but… since when is China an ethnostate? Aren’t there, like, dozens of varieties of Chinese?
in china foreigners and black people especially are banned from public spaces like malls, restaurants, etc
Lmao, I don’t know how you got this info but I know flat out this is hella lie.
 
Really seems over-all you’re taking what is admittedly a problem, but blowing it ten times out of proportion. Since at the very least I know people who’ve spent considerable time in China, traveled the entire country, and report no such thing. With one saying:
 
The closest thing to being banned is the fact that every teenage Chinese schoolgirl will want selfies with you
 
And besides

Entirely disregarded, your opinions are falsified. And you are declared the circus.

That’s not the case. The US has the largest economy by nearly 5 trillion dollars. And even though China is nipping at our heels with around 20 trillion, the US has a broader base economy and higher levels of labor specialization.

They have The Great Wall of China in China. And that alone is tourism.
 
Even then this is not only skimming the top, or skimming the spray of the waves. It’s like taking a few drops. Off the top of my head:
 
Shanghai, just for being Shanghai in general; if only also because it’s always a vacation package prize on gameshowns  
Forbidden City  
Longmen Grottos  
Macau  
Hunan and Yunnan’s mountains (really, the entire country is one massive mountain range. Have fun)  
Xi’an and the Tomb of Qin Shi Huang and the Goose Pagoda  
Szechuan Province

an art installation comparing black people to wild animals  
neat social credit system for keeping you in place  
epic cameras that detect your facial features and track you all the time  
some lame hong kong protesters that rot in prisons, hah good for them

Till you realize that no one working because everyone getting free money for staying at home and no incentive to work. This supplies such bread, fruit, vegetables, meat, and dairy will decline in supply. People will have money, but nothing to spend it on.

Herzberg and Maslow have established a long time ago that money only goes so far as an incentive. Being valued at your job and enjoying healthy work conditions motivates people much better.  
Of course, given that the neoliberal logic of the past few decades has been to drive down labor costs by cutting corners so the shareholders get to pocket the difference…

I’ve said it a million times, cost cutting is not a growth strategy and damn every company that thinks otherwise.

The eternal drive of capitalism is to produce profits at higher and higher levels for the owner(s)/Sharholder(s) in a company. In prior ages, expansion of capitol and of profits was simply carried out by expanding into new territory. Someone goes somewhere less developed or an earlier stage of development and forcibly or coercively takes over, adding its people into the consumer base while taking its resources to take back to the home country to use in the manufacture of commodities sold at home and abroad. As development continued and the physical space left behind by the expansion of capitalist powers shrank accumulation of capital turned from production to finance and the mere acquisition of and ownership of more and more industry in shrinking firms, the accumulation of profits and the shrinking hands that control it.
 
Interrupted briefly by the Social Democratic moment at the “end” of the Great Depression and two World Wars, rapid austerity measures and privatization over the eighties, nineties, and 00’s peeled back the arm’s length state controls of financial regulation to re-liberalize the markets. Free enterprise seeks to acquire - territorialize - new markets where there are none and has to compete against now-existing fully developed market economies in their own national or regional markets. Success comes from acquisition of profits, and when the firm can no longer physically expand it as to turn inwards to trim the fat. Cost cutting measures are rolled out to shed off what is considered excess fat in order to turn up revenues and acquire higher profits. Where all else has been burned away, what remains are the workers: aim to hire highly experienced workers at lower wages with less benefits.

I’m not sure about the beneficial aspect, but AFAIK the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993 happened with relatively little drama and no violence (even if, to this day, a significant part of the Czech and Slovak populations still consider it was a mistake).
