    intentionally keeping the standard of living of the working class that low

    Let’s see:

    Over the past 40 years, the number of people in China with incomes below $1.90 per day – the International Poverty Line as defined by the World Bank to track global extreme poverty– has fallen by close to 800 million

    China’s battle against poverty has benefited the largest number of people in human history

    That truly sounds like hell

      Something like 70+% of Chinese millennials own their own home as they are experiencing a massive boom in jobs, pay, and benefits. Meanwhile ess than 40% of US millennials do. It’s much less when you account for mortgage vs actual paid off.

        You can just walk down any fucking street in China and see happy looking young couples with kids. 2 hours there would prove to anyone with eyes and moderately functioning brain how prosperous the society has become.

      The west probably would say Satan is communist, so hell indeed (and please Satan, grant me a place there!)
