Clancyl: according to the world banks statistics china eliminated 7 million absolute poverty by 2010.
rtcvb32: When was it they were entered the World Trade Organization and opened up trade? December 2001.
So a tiny bit of capitalism (
plus very low prices and no tariffs/taxes on goods) has helped 7 million, and their middle class has grown quite a bit; Except the government is reverting back to full Communism now (
they never really left it, just changed tactics temporarily)
Great...
But is it? Most work in sweat shops, they have suicide nets set up, forced abortions, as well as death vans where people are kidnapped and kept alive for their organs (
to be sold on the black market). They have power plants that are very dirty and had a huge smog issue last year and had to shut a bunch of it down, people were dying from respiratory issues, transit was also shut down. Some were even selling canned air.
How long can these houses of cards stay standing i wonder....
i dont know why the hell compares man always China with a developed country.
After WW2 esp 14 years of Anti japaese war, chinese didnt got any war reparation from Japan.
Every coin we made was on our own, by ourselves
why dont you compare the weather to London during the Industrialisation
after you read the history book you ll see there s barely any industry in China before WW2
i have absolute no idea what do you mean by reverting to full Communism now.
True, our system now is unfamiliar, the goverment calls it Socialism with Chinese characteristics
i dont see any flaw in it cause its true
We still have socialism system in goverment, there is still 5 years plan
but financial system is market economy.
i mean dude, sweat shops...
as far i can remember all those sweat shop owners who abducted and forced children to work,
their skull still have a bullet in there if they are not cremated.
forced abortion? where the hell did you hear that from....
if you criticize chinese sexual education is a bunch of crap and caused a lot of tennagers pregnant, i ll give u an upvote.
death van...sounds like a US movie if it exists
Smog issues and enviromental issues i have nothing against you, but the goverment began last year to give those crappy factory a heavy lesson.
If you ve read the history of US Embassy's PM2.5 indicator or something and compare it with last few years, you can see the smog is getting better.
All data i mentioned like worldbank and US Embassy can be found,
i didnt use chinese data cause some people must think they are false.
by the way i ve never heart of poweplant and cancer thing,
i digged up a little, it might be true.(some how i also found a amerian news says american power plant causes cancers…(⊙_⊙;)… A power plant, cancer and a small town's fears - CNN.com
http://edition.cnn.com/2012/03/31/us/georgia-coal-power/index.html)
who caused it? if you say the goverment
i ll say: nah
superior department gives enough money to lower one to make sure all things are being built matches enviromental standards...
but just like US or maybe just US movie there are some corrupted officers who embezzles, a lot.
It causes a series of huge problems, but like i said nowadays the goverment ist fighting really hard against corruption and embezzelments.
yeah, and the canned air.
you know someone also sells canned fart?(Send a Fart in a Jar. Laughs for hours, stinks for days. – Send a Jart

its just sensationalization.
i dont wanna hurt you by criticizing US and list up all the problems, or things make me uncomfortable.
if you are an human rights fighter, or enviroment fighter, find a way to give us a hand.
Do some real things and help other people, if you dont like china, it is also welcome to help people in Africa,
they need much more help than us.
If your opinion is just how annoying is China, then this is the end of discussion.
PS
all of you whos reading this, China is a hospitable country, welcome to visit and try to feel it.
Although there is not much traditional things left but i could promise you Its a wonderland with endless types of food.
Things you could imagine, things you counldnt are all delicate.
