So where, then, are kids getting money for gacha, if parents are buying games in your alternative world?

Assuming insurance covers it. And you only have a 60% chance of having it covered.

Median monthly income in China according to most sources I can find is just 1300-1400 USD. Still, 82 USD for that income is not expensive, and that's for higher end private medical care outside the main healthcare system.

It'd be like an American paying for medical care with a weeks groceries.

No, you people choose to be ignorant and believe the US government, instead of visiting China yourself or talking to someone in China or doing any research.

Even the CIA, by the way, has stated China has eliminated extreme poverty in the world Factbook.

I get it, a lot of rich white people paid for you to be the way you are; it's still your fault to remain ignorant.

It's valuable, it's not as valuable as the entire rest of the world combined. The US simply doesn't have the user share to demand the service be sold off.

Please read the output of your LLMs if you're going to use them, you said:

Well, the American one doesn't have an incentive to turn its own people against its own government with propaganda. As is happening with Tiktok and pushing pro-CCP and anti-American content.

It's simply not. It's allowing Americans to speak freely on America without government interference.

All of that non sequitur is great, but the fact is no foreign country needs to do anything to make Americans hate their government. Nothing. Except provide a platform that allows free speech.

That's all Tiktok is.

Except homeownership rates, poverty rates, homelessness, illiteracy, class mobility, workers rights, prisoners prisoners per capita...

The US is one of the worst countries given it's comical amount of wealth, usually coming in at rank 40 or lower by pretty much any stat you choose... Except gross GDP, the number of prisoners, the number of proper capita, the number of slaves working for private corporations, and maternal mortality rates. That's where the US excels that China simple can't compete in, arresting people, forcing them to work for profit for companies, and killing women in child birth.

The US is a tiny market compared to the rest of users, why would they ever sell?
