You lived in rural China when? 25 years ago? I don’t think you’re aware of the pace of change that’s been happening.
Less than 12 years ago.
Do you think nothing has changed in an entire decade?
The poverty eradication campaign alone has made a dramatic difference, let alone the electrification of China and expansion in solar and EVs.
Do you think China educated unwilling old people who have a job like farming in the last ten years? Why? So they can read a book before they die? There's no point...
I do think China has done a great job of educating the younger generations. And with that many people, it's a system producing genius after genius. That part is impressive enough and better than the US system.
But China is known for producing fake numbers to always promote their control, patriotism among their people, reduce revolutionaries...
They have completely state controlled media. No independent journalism. Kind of hard to take any of that as a scientifically proven statistic. Do you disagree?
It's known!!!!!
Fucking bird, stop listening to him, this is a very stupid bird.
You're going to sit there and tell me that state controlled reporting doesn't influence their numbers? LOL do some research bro my God
"That can't be true because I don't think it is and China Bad"
Bro just straight up called old people useless eaters lmao
