That's certainly what victims of US propaganda machine believe, but it's also objectively false.
Welp, case closed. Someone said their opinion is objective truth. I guess denying humans sunshine is only subjectively evil.
Objective facts have nothing to do with anybody's opinions and the facts are that quality of life in China continues to improve for the vast majority of the people. The government is actively working on doing things like eliminating poverty, creating public infrastructure, providing healthcare, housing, food, and education for all citizens. Chinese government practically eliminated poverty, and in fact China is the only place in a world where any meaningful poverty reduction is happening. If we take China out of the equation poverty actually increased in real terms:
China used more concrete in 3 years than US in all of 20th century, they built 27,000km of high speed rail in a decade. 90% of families in the country own their home giving China one of the highest home ownership rates in the world. What’s more is that 80% of these homes are owned outright, without mortgages or any other leans. Real wage (i.e. the wage adjusted for the prices you pay) has gone up 4x in the past 25 years, more than any other country. This is staggering considering it's the most populous country on the planet. Finally, social mobility in China is such that Americans can only dream of.
Anybody who looks at this and thinks China is evil is utterly morally bankrupt.

I refuse to believe that a full grown adult with a functioning brain wrote that comment.
No I get it. It's hard to believe that you've wasted so much of yourlife defending a shithole to spurn another one. You'll get there when you're ready, and that's OK. No one is expecting any miracles today.
Comments like yours really let me know that spending a few minutes a day commenting here is really worth it. You'll get there when you get there kiddo.
Mkay hon.
Ah yes, the government that lifted 800 million people out of abject poverty is a bunch of cunts. Imagine being so utterly morally bankrupt to genuinely believe that. Have you been to China, have you talked to people who actually live there. Nobody in the world aside from brainwashed westerners believes the drivel that you spew. The only reason you hate China is because your oligarch owned media tells you to.
