China’s manufacturing is way more insane than people realize. They lead in high speed rail, shipbuilding, EVs, but most importantly robotics

They installed more industrial robots last year than the rest of the world combined

They even have fully automated dark factories

In the West, factories are spread out randomly but In China, industries cluster

They have entire cities that specialize in one thing like home appliances hair dryers or socks

So it’s not really luck. It’s decades of suppliers, labor, machines, and logistics forming these efficient self-reinforcing ecosystems. by @jake_explains

3 countries that give you INSANE value for what they cost

Do you agree?

I’ve personally spent the most time in Vietnam and feel like it’s the best value country I’ve found

I think Japan gives you insane value too especially with the currency now

Tokyo is not the largest megacity anymore

It is Jakarta Indonesia!

How did this happen? Well the UN changed the measuring stick.

And what’s even more crazy is by 2050 the worlds largest megacity will not even be Jakarta

Why is Bangkok so much bigger than Thailand’s other cities? 🇹🇭

Look at a Thailand population density map and you’ll see why it can feel like a “one-city country.”

Bangkok is a primate city: a city that dominates its country in both population and influence.

Its rise connects Thailand’s geography, history and political power. The Chao Phraya River helped concentrate trade, while railways extended the capital’s control across the country.

That centralization also forms part of a bigger story: how Thailand avoided formal European colonization while neighboring countries fell under colonial rule.

Thinking about living in Bangkok? Comment MATCH to take the quiz and get your personalized city score.
