ITS NOT BAD TO HAVE LABOR CAMPS OR SOCIAL CREDIT SCORES

Okay, let's go see about these so-called "labor camps" and "social credit scores"

China saved people from flooding, but at what cost.

When I think of governments helping their people, I think of Beijing 👍🏻

China's been busy working on doing things like eliminating poverty, creating public infrastructure, providing healthcare, housing, food, and education for all citizens. Chinese government practically eliminated poverty, building infrastructure having used more concrete in 3 years than US in all of 20th century, building 27,000km of high speed rail in a decade.

China has also been doing things like ensuring that everyone has housing with 90% of families in the country own their home giving China one of the highest home ownership rates in the world.China's been improving real wages (i.e. the wage adjusted for the prices you pay) that have gone up 4x in the past 25 years, more than any other country, and making sure people have high social mobility.

Congratulations on being unintentionally correct.

Tell me something, if China is so great, why do so many Chinese want to immigrate to the US, where they can get a better education and a better job and provide a better life for themselves and their family?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Where did you get the notion that many Chinese want to immigrate to your shithole country? For example, 80% of Chinese students, including the US, return home. If things are so bad in China and so great in the west then why are they coming back, and why are thousands of scientists fleeing to China from US?

There’s a massive wildfire happening in the North West Territories right now to the point where Yellowknife is completely surrounded and all I’ve heard are crickets.

Lack of reporting on Canadian wildfires has been stunning. For a while, you had the smoke all over US and Canada so they kinda had to talk about it, but now that it's gone there's basically no coverage. I bet most people don't realize the fires are still going.

You know during the flood happen last week, a few Chinese local officials lost their lives during the rescue mission. There's a reason why the CPC got such a high rating while the current american admin at rock bottom

Yeah CPC isn't the same kind of animal as western parties. They're actually on the ground doing community work.

Yep, even Xi Jinping during his early have to serve in the village, town, city and prefecture. It's not easy and it's high stress job, you have to get the result, making policy that's good for the place that you're serving and you have to show result to convince your peer to vote for you to get promoted. Especially now when China economy is shifting from low quality growth like real estate to high quality like EV, quantum computing AI and green energy.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Exactly, and the fact that people have to rise through the ranks and engage directly with the people they're serving means that they have a far better understanding of the actual problems people have than western politicians who are barely aware of their constituents.
