      The fucking idiot thinks "better quality of life" is an illusion. Ah yes the Chinese farmer who lived in poverty for 10 generations finaly sees his village have access to a school that isn't falling apart and a train station so that his children can finaly move to the biG CiTY and break the cycle of perpetual poverty oh wait DON'T FALL FOR IT IT IS AN ILLUSION you see it may seem like this is the first time your family got to see what it means to NOT live in poverty but that is just the devil talking stay away!

          Wait, is it really a small portion of the population in those cities? I understood that the reason the number of people being lifted out of poverty in China is so huge is that cities with populations in the hundreds of millions are developing with the guidance of the CPC. Seems like flaunting development in those cities is not only the most logical thing because it's legitimately impressive, but it's not even dishonest since those cities house a very large portion of the population.

      MSM were literally running stories about how the economy was doing so well because :tromp: artificially inflated the stonks, all while the concurrent pandemic-crash was going to town on the livelihoods of most people.
