I see people asking China to come and colonize Nigeria. Hahaha! It will happen but not in the right sense of the word. Nigeria is already heavily indebted to China through Buhari's reckless borrowings. If Nigeria defaults on her payments to China, Beijing would be calling the shots. You guys had better start learning Chinese as a second language. I also see people comparing China to the United States forgetting that the US is already a developed country while China is still largely regarded as a 'developed developing country'. The United States leads in innovation ( a significant number of Fortune 500 coys are American); education (most the top 20 universities in the world are located in America; health care ( some of the top hospitals are in America.

Standard of living index: The US is on #15 while China is #63.

However in terms of urbanization, infrastructural developments, roads and railways development, poverty alleviation, China is way ahead of the united States. The US is currently reeling from infrastructural decays from its archaic trains to metros, housing decay to roads. Isn't it a shame that the United States does not have bullet trains? The roads in China are beautiful to drive on especially the ones in Xinjiang- wide and bump-less. The United States seriously has to upgrade her decaying infrastructures in order to compete with China in that area.
I also see people extolling the cleanliness of Chengdu. Well, who wouldn't? China is a beautiful and clean country because her citizens have been taught to respect and protect their environments. It is no gainsaying that the neatness of a country, city, town or village is a reflection of the inhabitants of it. In Nigeria, people litter with reckless abandon. Nigerians are largely dirty and recalcitrant when it comes to following hygiene rules. Nigerians would choose to drop litter on the floor / road than use the rubbish bins provided for them by the state. Generally speaking, Chinese people are not the most hygienic not with the public spitting and all that. But they are a stickler for rules, so, when the government say 'Don't Litter' people will try not to litter unlike in Nigeria where littering, open defecation and urination is the norm in most places.
Chengdu is truly a beautiful, neat and green city.

Just correct the fortune 500 part...

China has the most number of companies in the fortune 500 list than any other country on Earth.

For example, I have seen copywriters in my circle who got relocation opportunities from the companies they worked with.

But it doesn't happen randomly, you have to learn whatever skill you choose and get really good at it.

Make sense bro

Chinese are really killing it, they are not as religious as Africans but still blessed abundantly

Raydos:
Chengdu is the capital of southwestern China's Sichuan province. Chengdu's history dates back to at least the 4th century B.C., when it served as capital for the Shu Kingdom. Artifacts from that dynasty are the focus of the Jinsha Site Museum. The city is also home to the famous Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, a conservation center where visitors can view endangered giant pandas in a natural habitat

Chengdu is just a second-tier city when compared to some even greater city like Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou e.t.c
