  1. Due to it by and large still being a command economy with opportunities reserved for those with political connections.

  2. Because they're banished to the rural areas where they cannot make the government look bad.

  3. Just so he and the ruling communist party can save face.

  4. <China is seriously working towards reducing income inequality but COVID-19 is slowing down the progress.> By "quarantining" the poor.

  6. Communists are the biggest practitioners and beneficiaries of capitalism.

  7. Exactly. Just ask the Winnie The Pooh. His father was a card-carrying CCP member who got demoted for disobedience.

  8. Also saving and investing. Working hard is a myth, only because most people who do that usually have no plan or long-term goals just living for the moment (which is understandable since no one is promised tomorrow).

  9. LOL. Since when did communism share the wealth equally? In communism, the government, family and friends get the whole pie while the people get the crumbs.

  10. Anyone can be rich, but not everyone can be wealthy as wealth is generational and it takes smarts to maintain and further grow that wealth.

  11. Maybe so, but hardly any old people in the US having to work until they drop dead.

  12.  @lettuce1305  <yes I'm pretty sure the govt officials take the homeless away but that can actually be a good thing.> Only to governments trying to present themselves in a good light to the rest of the world.

  13. While China's is 76 years old.

  14. LOL. No. Mainland students in the US are 4 people tops.

  15. <If they gave every citizen a guaranteed monthly income and actually had universal health care or even any social programs which they don't, it might work.> No it wouldn't as that would require an infinite amount of resources that even the richest of countries don't have. And how is paying people not to work or produce sustainable? <The irony of communism is they ignore there first rule, distribution of wealth.> <But in actually the wealth goes only to the government and its military build up and propaganda> Standard socialist/communist fare.

  16.  @peterfireflylund  And there are some North Koreans who can attest to that statement.

  17. Enabled by the US. You can thank Nixon and Clinton for that.

  18. <it's honestly understandable why people choose the latter because you are pretty much working yourself to death for a system for someone else's lambo.> Namely a relative or friend of a government official.

  19. Depends on which CCP official they can successfully bribe.

  20. Poor people are not in any financial position to own anything.
    1
  21. Yes there is as that's basically most of the country's political class.
    1
  22. There's no such thing thing as equality. Even Cuba has rich and poor. Namely the government and well-connected and everyone else.
    1
  23. Or Gary, Indiana.

  24. Yes blame the women. They took up the profession by choice. And they should be thankful that capitalism gave them the opportunity to do it.

  25.  @crystalsplace7163  No. Fake-it-'til-you-make-it is a relatively new thing as it's been only recently that the average person have any real access to wealth.

  26. LOL. They know nothing except how to worship their CCP overlords.
    1
  27. LOL. It is a communist country. The government and the well-connected = rich. Everyone else = poor.
    1
  28. And in the case of China, it goes to show that communism is a hypocrite and have consistently become the very oligarchy and oppressors it fought against.
    1
  29. It is.

  30. The 1-child policy only applied to city folks.
    1
  31. <but this video is really bias.> Only to West-haters and CCP sympathizers.

  32. Communism has a way of making a capitalist out of people.
    1
  33. And bankrupt itself like it did under Mao?
    1
  34. Maybe not, but capitalism doesn't need socialism nearly as much as socialism needs capitalism.
    1
  35. Because they are estranged from God.
    1
  36. The same "real" communism that made China a basket case for most of Mao's rule?
    1
  37. Except the US's GDP/capita is in the top 20 at some 63K. China's GDP/capita is just barely $10K.
    1
  38. LOL. China got to where they are by Deng's free-market reforms and Clinton shipping off America's manufacturing jobs.
    1
  39. In China, the rich being the CCP.
    1
  40. LOL
    1
  41. But at least the American Dream is achievable for the average person unlike the Chinese one only achievable by being a political stooge.
