@ExplorerBob Thanks to capitalism by Deng Xiaoping. Before that, China was literally on the verge of collapse.

@henriconfucius5559 A lot of poor countries adopted it as soon as they got their independence.

And a hot all-year-round climate that doesn't lend itself much to development beyond the bare minimum.

Race does exist and Northeast Asians have the highest average IQ's on Earth. Why would White people make up a test to only end up playing 2nd fiddle to another race?

Ethiopia was never colonized, yet it fared just as badly as most of the rest of Africa that were colonized after Selassie got overthrown and killed.

The general lack of economic freedom/large-scale private enterprise due to central planning. And a lot of poor countries adopted socialism about as soon as they got their independence.

India had socialism up until the 1990's. Actually, it was Deng Xiaoping's capitalist reforms and Bill Clinton's trade deal that made China what it currently is. Mao ran China into the ground harder than Stalin did the Soviet Union.

@bubblebubbleblip What other "people of color?" Asians, Arabs, etc. are not in the same boat.

But what has socialism done except enrich the ruling class and their comrades and impoverishing everyone else unfortunate enough not to be related to at least the comrades?

But many of the people China lifted out of poverty are Party lackeys and their privileged relatives.
