lol sure kiddo https://www.businessinsider.com/typical-chinese-adult-now-richer-than-europeans-wealth-report-finds-2022-9
Not only are you wrong, but you also omit the important fact that the standard of living in Europe is built on brutal exploitation of the people in the Global South being the clown that you are.
Once again you honor us with a reductive argument based on a soundbite you heard and didn't spend any time actually thinking about. The reality is that wealth beyond a certain point stops making people happy https://penntoday.upenn.edu/news/does-more-money-correlate-greater-happiness-Penn-Princeton-research
Also, everything is not built on exploitation. Only an utter ignoramus brainwashed by capitalism would believe that.
The reason you believe all this nonsense is because you’ve uncritically accepted the propaganda that Western governments and Western corporate media have been flooding you with your entire life.
I try to point people toward developing real media literacy.
Adorable you think that your whole life isn't surveiled in the west. Meanwhile, vast majority of people in China aren't working 9 to 9, and in fact are happy as pretty much every survey on China shows. Maybe spent some time actually learning about China instead of making a clown of yourself in public?
You sweet summer child.
you keep on believing that, it's adorable
