Bill Maher Carries Water for China. He is Not Saying We Should Get Our Shit Together. He Is Saying It's Already Over, Give UP.

Maher used the bulk of the monologue to highlight the advancements China has made, though he acknowledged the authoritarian nature of the regime. “There’s got to be something between an authoritarian government that tells everyone what to do and a representative government that can’t do anything at all,” he said, detailing that China has “built 500 entire cities from scratch, moved the majority of their huge population from poverty to the middle class, and mostly cornered the market in 5G and pharmaceuticals” in two generations.”
