It's really cool. The people are super nice and welcoming. The cities are incredible. Their cost of living is leaps and bounds better than ours. Life is affordable there.
They just got it better. The cold war propaganda we've been spoonfed from birth was all lies.
We are the bad place.
Their cost of living is leaps and bounds better than ours.
Crazy how effective this propaganda is. Median Chinese salary is 5 USD/hour. Now 5x every chinese price you see to get really cost and revisit your comment.
Yeah, sure. Just because one team is bad doesn't mean the other is good. There is a lot of poverty, exploitation and general shit happening "there".
They've eliminated extreme poverty and are on track to eliminate poverty. Given even the poorest citizens don't worry about rent or medical bills or food costs, their poverty looks incredibly different to that in the US.
Yeah they eliminated poverty the same way they defeated COVID... By just saying they did and people like yourself slurp it up without a second of critical thought.
No, you people choose to be ignorant and believe the US government, instead of visiting China yourself or talking to someone in China or doing any research.
Even the CIA, by the way, has stated China has eliminated extreme poverty in the world Factbook.
I get it, a lot of rich white people paid for you to be the way you are; it's still your fault to remain ignorant.
How do you know?
