It seems you're putting words in my mouth that I didn't say. I didn't say it's a hellhole nor it's a bad place to live. I merely pointed out the BS in this article and what else is going on. I don't see it as a objective and homogenously spread thing and I definitely don't share your optimistic approach about the sustainability where the government basically choosing who has the right to be elevated with its so social credit system. When people from said poor countryside and so called outcasts like Uighurs are not allowed to freely move to the cities and aren't allowed to have the other basic opportunities like education, healthcare etc... This so called miracle elevation from the poor status loose it's allure in my eyes. If you would like to believe it's a good thing then you're cherry picking and can't even see it.
Your last comment was talking about people eating rats and bug and living without healthcare…if that doesn’t describe a hellhole, I don’t know what does.
But in this comment you’ve changed gears and everything seems reasonable…and I’m on board.
Pointing out the realities doesn't mean I see China as hellhole. If you see it as such it's your own view. So, don't reflect it on me.
I'm pointing out the fact that government doesn't provide equal opportunities and they use heavy censorship on such realities.
When you chose who gets to have the opportunities and who doesn't, it's not a miracle! Any authoritarian government can do that and they do it to an extent.
This is article is just a puff piece without real information in my eyes and I stated that. Rest is up to you.
Non thing to disagree with here….reasonable and I agree.
