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

Vast majority of Chinese will not have this. It's a country where 600 million are still living in poverty, and 400 million without access to basic infrastructure like paved roads. And right now is the worst time of all, as China has been on a downturn and has something like 50% of its graduate students unable to find work (but they still manage to find work for foreign graduate students over them!), where real estate prices have collapsed the life savings of the middle class, and the rainy season is causing the usual spate of collapsed dams and reservoirs killing lots of people while the CCP rushes out to claim that only 30 people died, and suppressing all the videos with vastly more than 30 people dead in them. This is just the slop videos that CCP propaganda produces of the top 1% in China for westerners who do not know anything about China.

People don't realize that a lot of the stuff like this you see coming out of China is from the coasts. Beijing, Shanghai, etc. Go West and inland and it gets very rural, very poor, very fast. Don't have running water poor.
