China is trying to build a large economy from the top down which doesnt tend to work. They build billion-dollar business centers for McDonalds/etc, but they stand empty because there's no proverbial floor in the mansions. There's no support or well trained people to work in those areas, let alone enough people with enough spare cash to buy processed foods instead of cooking it themselves.

Someone's never been into a McDonalds in China. I spent two months in Kunming, an agricultural city, and went to McDonalds several times. The staff were as good as any Maccas staff in the West, the food was the same, and it was always packed with people. McDonalds is making millions in China. You don't know what you're talking about.
So much of what you say is gross misrepresentations and exagerrations of the truth. China has many many problems, yes. But the average person there is living better than they have...ever. There is a lot of suffering, true. And the Chinese standard of living is still far below Western standards. But thats because Western standards are stupidly high. China is getting better, and will regain its place in the sun soon enough. Those China-breakers and nay-sayers in the West will be eating their words.
