  1. There's nothing communist about China, it's far right on the political spectrum other than state ownership.

  2. They just focus on a few major country including Germany because the publisher is German

  3. Probably not as different as you think. Does your mum eat junk food daily and over 50% of her diet is that food. This is the average for a US citizen now. Diet is the number 1 issue including intake of alcohol , drugs and tobacco. My guess your mum doesn't do these things , maybe alcohol in moderation that's it.

  5. Poverty in the US isn't the same as poverty in China, you are using completely different measures.

  6. After Jan 20 with Wuhan lockdown everyone knew it was contagious and airborne. This was the day China realised the problem otherwise would have locked down earlier.

  7. Just as only 5% or whatever of gunshot victims died of gunshot only. Normally have blood loss or heart failure or unconsciousness as contributing factors. So maybe you can shoot someone and say it was heart failure or blood loss.

  8. Yes he did he mentioned severance payments.

  10. You mean like Xinjiang, Tibet and Inner Mongolia? Yes colonisation probably wasn't good but that's just what we did for approximately 5,000 from the first modern civilization. Before that we just beating neighbouring tribes with clubs to steal women and food. Isn't it great to live in the modern world whereby any standard everyone better off, life expectancy 100 years ago was about 40 as it was for the previous millennium or so, now it's about 70 or so on a world basis, modern technology and relatively no wars since WWII has given us so much.

  11. Certainly not the only country but at the lower end of performance.

  12. Not trading with them at all would just hurt the poor, why would you want to hurt the poor?

  13. Every country on the planet has ties to China and USA. Those 2 are completely unavoidable if you live in the modern world.

  14. If China could stop it so easily without a single case getting out of China according to Trump why couldn't the US even stop it from reaching all 50 states?

  15.  @factspoken9062  China is far right on the traditional political spectrum, only remaining part of communism is the state owned corporations but the profitable ones seem to be ending up in the hands of high ranking CPC members. Having 100 billionaires in China's parliament can't have all come from them just being good at business. Modern day they aren't starving , 600,000,000 live on about $5 USD per day according to the CPC as of last year. They are happy with the CPC because now they aren't so worried about starving and they have started to offer schooling to all. A part of the Xinjiang reeducation thing is because adults had no Chinese literacy and couldn't speak Mandarin because they never went to school.

  17. All this , oh it's a mystery, no it's not, if an average person in an English speaking wealthy country eats over 50% ultra processed food AKA junk food we know we at the population level aren't going to increase our life expectancy to 90 are we. If however we just banned almost all processed food and fast food chains and restaurants that don't serve healthy which is 99% of them because good tasting and cheap is bad , alcohol vouchers and ban smoking then maybe but there would be riots on the streets so life expectancy might go down due to violent death in the interim.

  18. By weight fruit is much cheaper than junk food other than things like berries. It must be people's desire because it's not about price.

  19. It's probably about same as Spanish flu with modern medicine. Have to remember 100 years ago things weren't the same and when the black plague pops up now and again it's really easy to control not like this.

  20. What you saying is some places the government works for the people not all is like depicted in the documentary with rich politicians and property developers hurting the people. Good to know not everywhere as bad.

  21. The vast majority yes but not all

  22.  @terencesam2191  China has more billionaires per unit of GDP than the US and 100 billionaire in parliament, saying but outside the top 10% or whatever they are equally poor, how exactly is that better distribution, that distribution is more akin to a feudal system which I would argue it actually is with all the billionaire running the country.
