The speed of China

From Literary Hub: "In China, the sense of time is different. China has changed from being a country that moved too slowly into a country that moves too fast—so fast it's as if China has escaped gravity. Whether it is the economy, fashion, popular culture, entertainment, or sports, in just 30 years China has gone through what took several hundred years in the West. In a very short time, China has made extraordinary achievements. It is as if time in China has been compressed. This compression not only folds into the current moment a few hundred years of Western history but also several thousand years of Chinese history."
