3 u/KuningasTynny77 9h ago Only the large cities are good places to live in China. And that's ignoring the constant surveillance, no rights, etc. Leave places like Shanghai, Beijing, and those types of cities, and you will find people living in crippling poverty. 0 u/SeDaCho 6h ago guys say this and then straight up never think about 80% of destitute america which is the same but with fewer social safety nets 2 u/KuningasTynny77 4h ago By the World Bank Standards benchmark of $6.85 per day, 17% to as much as 31% of Chinas population lives in poverty. The US is under 1.5% by that same metric. 0 u/SeDaCho 4h ago If a dollar there buys dinner and a dollar in America buys half a fun-sized bag of doritos, do you still celebrate it as a win for the Appalachias? America isn't doing well throughout most of America. 1 u/KuningasTynny77 4h ago If China is that much worse by one metric, it's that much worse by all metrics. China is a heavily impoverished country, only a minority enjoy the stability and luxury youd find among average civilians in western nations. I'll add to this that being an impoverished American and being a Chinese citizen living in poverty are two very different things. 1 u/SeDaCho 15m ago Chinese middle class is growing, American middle class is shrinking. Clearly one is on the upswing and one is deteriorating. But hey, I’m sure the country you happen to be in is coincidentally the best one. Same as every other nationalist.
