I was just saying it cause some people might think that it cant be true when the great leap forward happened.
Correlation does not equal causation...
First, Russia and China are not communist. They are both dictatorships. Medical advances in all first world countries is the reason for life expectancy to rise.
Africa and South America have been prevented from improving medical care which in combination with the above accounts for Russia and China rising above the average.
If India went the path of the chinese in 1955 instead of democratic capitalism i think they would have had the same results as China today. You could argue China has been also prevented from improving medical care until the communist party stopped letting it happen.
