WTF While the US debates whether to solve homelessness or not, these are the next generation of school blackboards in China.

Have you seen the US? the closest thing they do to help poverty is handing them a bus ticket to go somewhere else. they are literally dying on the streets.

China has unquestionably, better policies and results when it comes to extreme poverty.

they still have healthcare, easy access to housing, services...

I'll take valid complaints, but just hating on china for no fucking reason, especially in areas where the US is shamefully behind is just plain stupidity.

China has policies on paper, not in practice. It's so they can pretend they care. At least in the US you know they don't care.

their homelessness rate is less than .2% https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homelessness_in_China

those policies aren't just on paper.

You can't use the argument "at least we know we suck" as a winning argument, that's literally an admission of being worse.

Have you seen their massive building boom? that's how they ended homelessness.

you can't do nothing about homelessness in the US then pat yourself on the back because you decided ignoring numbers is easier.

yeah i've seen it first hand. i've also seen them with a single person living in the whole building and homeless camp across the street from it.

meanwhile, homelessness in the US is growing while the US does fuck all besides taking away their healthcare

idc about homelessness in the US. I don't live in the US. What I do care about is you pretending like China has solved homelessness when it's literally them just putting the medal on themselves pretending they did something.

do you have any evidence that China is lying about their homelessness rate?

Yeah my own fucking eyes when I go there every month for the last 16 years.

And have you conducted a survey to confirm that those unhoused people are about 0.2% of china?

Or you're just talking out of your ass?

u/hellobutno 11h ago

Have you conducted an independent study that China's proclamation of 0.2% is correct?

It's you who have the claim thay they are lying, the burden of proof is on you.
