Running an orphanage in China vs. living in a mansion in USA
In 2030 the only people claiming to be Taiwanese will be 6 people running a "governent in exile" in DC.
Every time they step out onto the street they have to wear a shirt rcplainging how they're "one of the good ones". This only ! marginally reduces the amount of racial slurs they are subjected to.
We don't talk about the state SFV launched in. Ken was so ugly they patched his mug.
I think his face has gotten some updates but I haven't seen that skin in a while lol. I know Ibuki and Sakura got new faces as well.
IIRC Capcom outsourced a lot of models in SFV so there is a huge gap in quality between outfits. In-house vs outsourced can be very evident especially with how hair in particular is modeled
I was gonna say something about China still using medical insurance like the USA and maybe that shouldn't count as UHC, but holy moly apparently 95% of Chinese people have health insurance.
Talking with people on HelloTalk, they make it seem so similar to American healthcare. I suppose it is, with the exception that they don't have large swathes of people unable to access it.
Any idea if (with medical insurance) the costs they have to pay are still as exorbitant as the US?
Poor Ken has looked a little fucked up face-wise every entry since 3rd Strike. My least favorite is still his model in 4.
China has free and universal Healthcare? I thought they didn't, also I'm pretty sure the Netherlands has universal but not free Healthcare
PRC's healthcare system is definitely better than the USA by most metrics, especially access, but it's absolutely not free or universal. My fiance's daughter-in-law works in a hospital pharmacy in Shanghai, which has a ton of homeopathic/traditional Chinese medicine bullshit going on unfortunately as well. Placebo effect is pretty strong though. Anyway, if you get cancer in China you're still pretty fucked financially, except that you probably have a pretty strong family network that's going to pool their resources to finance it.
It's likely to change in the near future, contemporary Mandarin dramas (亲爱的小孩 comes to mind) depicting the financial stress of such situations have been pretty popular and people all "know" that the state must eventually make it free & universal.

joke about how people watch Breaking Bad and idolize Walt to the point of sending hatemail to Anna Gunn.
If only they'd send hatemail to politicians opposing universal healthcare.
