The fact that all you ever do here is shit on China shows what your agenda is buddy. The only angry little person here is the one who can’t say a single nice thing about a country that’s lifting millions of people out of poverty each and every year.

Comments like yours really let me know that spending a few minutes a day commenting here is really worth it. You’ll get there when you get there kiddo.

You’re right, it’s not about China at all, it’s me having to read ignorant drivel from arrogant Americans. You’ve created one of the most deplorable societies in the history of the human race, and a bunch of you are running around bleating about how everyone else is just as bad. Clearly you don’t see how sad and not normal that is. What’s really sad is that I live rent free in your head.

Ah yes, the government that lifted 800 million people out of abject poverty is a bunch of cunts. Imagine being so utterly morally bankrupt to genuinely believe that. Have you been to China, have you talked to people who actually live there. Nobody in the world aside from brainwashed westerners believes the drivel that you spew. The only reason you hate China is because your oligarch owned media tells you to.

I refuse to believe that a full grown adult with a functioning brain wrote that comment.

Objective facts have nothing to do with anybody’s opinions and the facts are that quality of life in China continues to improve for the vast majority of the people. The government is actively working on doing things like eliminating poverty, creating public infrastructure, providing healthcare, housing, food, and education for all citizens. Chinese government practically eliminated poverty, and in fact China is the only place in a world where any meaningful poverty reduction is happening. If we take China out of the equation poverty actually increased in real terms:

If we take just one country, China, out of the global poverty equation, then even under the $1.90 poverty standard we find that the extreme poverty headcount is the exact same as it was in 1981.

The $1.90/day (2011 PPP) line is not an adequate or in any way satisfactory level of consumption; it is explicitly an extreme measure. Some analysts suggest that around $7.40/day is the minimum necessary to achieve good nutrition and normal life expectancy, while others propose we use the US poverty line, which is $15.

China used more concrete in 3 years than US in all of 20th century, they built 27,000km of high speed rail in a decade. 90% of families in the country own their home giving China one of the highest home ownership rates in the world. What’s more is that 80% of these homes are owned outright, without mortgages or any other leans. Real wage (i.e. the wage adjusted for the prices you pay) has gone up 4x in the past 25 years, more than any other country. This is staggering considering it’s the most populous country on the planet. Finally, social mobility in China is such that Americans can only dream of.

Anybody who looks at this and thinks China is evil is utterly morally bankrupt.

That’s certainly what victims of US propaganda machine believe, but it’s also objectively false.

Except that they’re not both bad, that’s just something Americans keep repeating.

There’s a reason China started implementing dual circulation a few years back.

A great way to tell us you’re a chauvinist who doesn’t know anybody who lives in China and never been there.

Imagine being from Canada and bleating about China trying to erase the culture of people. Projecting much?

yogthos , 1 year ago to worldnews in Biden calls China a 'ticking time bomb' due to economic troubles

In the real world 99% of people in US think about where their next meal is going to come from instead of perseverating about China the way you’re doing kid.
