That's not even a Chinese innovation. At least the Chinese gave Mao a proper burial instead of desecrating his corpse Christian saint/Lenin style.
The second from the middle is actually Czechoslovakia.
They will always have slave labour as an "unfair advantage" (to use management-speak euphemisms), so prices might remain low.
So most people officially didn't care either way. That doesn't make it better.
Exactly, ~~7~~ is a boy in continental Europe, but Anglo-Saxon soyboys transgenderized it into 7. (/s because I'm sure otherwise someone would take it seriously)

Google paradox of tolerance.
If you know you hit a parking lot 500m east of your target you aren't going to miss the next shot.

During WW2 the British government went as far as coordinate fake news about where the V2 rockets landed with the media to make it harder for the Germans to hit anything.
It naturally contains some of the buzzwords of the time, such as fourth-generation programming language (4GL). If you’re not familiar with that term, suffice it to say that the Wikipedia page lists several examples, and Cobol has outlasted most of them.
Lots of 3GL outlived most 4GL languages, C, C++, C# Java, Ruby, Python, and even newer languages like Rust and Go are 3GL. In fact so did plenty of 2GL (assembly languages).
Programming language generations are about usage and level of abstraction not about being obsolete.
On the flip side, in Europe extreme right parties are mostly being propped up by young men, while in other age groups men and women vote relatively similarly, which supports this finding.
