Things have gotten better and progress has been made from times past, it just seems worse now because we have more access to information. We've come far, and have further to go!
besides this, China did a huge job on getting people out of poverty - if you like or not
What? How did china get people out of poverty?
Edit: They didnt. After a long journey we found out that china is boasting about how all chinese citizens are now above 1 dollar a day aka. EXTREME poverty(in 2011) Aparrently this is an achievement and not incredibly sad.
Also Guildo is a CCP Shill.
The Great Leap Forward. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Leap_Forward
It was a massive effort to industrialize China under Mao, and resulted in the largest famine in human history with tens of millions dead.
Not what Guildo guy was going for but yes, horrible thing and that did improve ehm... statistics.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_China I am also pretty sure, that the great leap forward was under Mao and not Deng Xiaoping, but who knows? I am just a CCP-Bot. Beep Boop Boop. Wikipedia is also under the control of China. Beep Boop Boop. Winnie Pooh Xi Jinping Beep Boop Boop
" For example, the World Bank draws a higher poverty line for upper-middle-income countries, which tries to reflect economic conditions. It sets this at $5.50 a day. China is now an upper-middle-income country, says the bank.
About a quarter of China's population is in poverty, according to this metric. For comparison, this is slightly higher than Brazil.
And there is widespread income inequality. Last year, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said China still had 600 million people whose monthly income was barely 1,000 yuan ($154). He said that was not enough to rent a room in a city.
The great leap forward is the reason so many people from extreme poverty died and reversing those changes is not liftig people out of poverty but reversing changes that put people in extreme poverty.".
Yes, by 1980 third world country standards china has a 0.7 percent poverty rate. Thats ignoring 40 years of development of the rest of the world. And also that china is not a third world country anymore.
Go move into a Tofu Dreg Highrise and tell me how good it looks from up there.
You're talking all the time like China is still a third world country. You have to decide.
No i am not. I literally said it isnt in 3 of my answers to you. Do you know how to read? Do you want me to communicate in Chinese with you?
Beep Boop Boop poverty only exists in China Beep Boop Boop.
Reversing policies that killed millions and is the reason for 800 million people being in extreme poverty does only exist in china. Yes.
And being less shit is not a success story.
Still a TofuDreg Dictatorship
No, the great leap forward is not the reason for it. I don't know if you learned it, but China has also a history of colonization. Damn, the west did horrific things in China. You do everything to not recognize the problems China had before Mao.
I thought we were talking about after Mao? Please decide.
Oh, are we? You didn't.
Oh I bet it was and they’ll just ignore the great famine as being some natural thing that just happened and wasn’t due to the policies of the CCP.
That’s how everyone I’ve met that has talked about the CCP raising people from poverty have posed it.
CCP shills
I guess that's one way to stop poverty
Probably...
The real answer is probably opening to state controled capitalism and globalization, becoming the factory of the world for a couple of decades.
And reversing most of the things that mao did.
He killed over 50 million people and caused a braindrain in china that no following leader has managed to fix. The fact that china got everyone over the extreme poverty line in 2020 is sad. A marketleader like china shouldnt have anyone in extreme poverty.
Why wouldn't people like it?
because they hate china...
Maybe I'm too naive, but even if you hate a country for its economic and political choices, you can still be glad their working class population is getting out of poverty and It's not like they are getting richer by slaving a whole continent
Yeah... you can like some things and still hate everything else about it. Not everything is black or white - but some don't like grey-scales.
