>>22096293570% of Taiwanese people earn less than $1500 a month, those are Latinx wages no shade
>>220962969I'm sorry Latinx. You will never be anywhere close to Taiwanese. Not only is Taiwan much richer than you (and China) but it has far less income inequality too.
>>220962982Taiwan has one of the highest median incomes on earth. China's median income is less than 1/5th Taiwans. China's median income is $350 a month.
>>220963022So China is below Latinx. Got it
Here is a picture I took of Shanghai when I visited a little over 2 months ago. I went to both China and Taiwan.Taiwan mogged China so hard. Chinese spit on the floor (even in doors) and haven't figured out how lines work. Taiwanese on the other hand were extremely friendly and civilized. It was night and day. If it weren't for the language I would assume China was Cambodia and Taiwan was Japan.

>>220963985China solved poverty.........by redefining poverty as anyone earning less than $50 a month on the other hand all economic gains china has was due to the US funding them with billions of dollars of aid and investment to beat the Russians
When 40% of Chinese earns less than $150 a month but it's ok because you passed a new law saying poverty is below $50 a month so you ended poverty

>>220964279No more brothers wars. Our common enemy is USA.
>>220964313Then you need to live up to communism and share the wealth with the poor Chinese. They can't imagine the wealth of the average Mexican.
>>220964305Yes. South America always was richer than China since the beginings of times, you know, Argentina and Venezuela were one of the richest countries in the world in 1950 and China was living worse than Africans.
>>220964340The bottom 50% of Chinese are poorer than the average Nigerian
>>220964330They aint poor, just mexico and russia tier. They arent malnourished like one century ago. They Will surpass mexico in 2 or 3 years in terms of wealthness.https://youtu.be/_qQL5C6RACw?si=ytTIHS8WgsK5atkg
>>220964385Country with massive population is always having difficult time to raise the general standard. The US is number 1 because they have massive population and high income per-capita. If China or, hell, India can double their "measly" average income from now, they will pull so much ahead.
>>220964305I took a peak of it, they are somalia tier and even perú is ahead of us, lol. I'd call the median income a big bullshit, gdp per capita is more reliable.

>>220962705Is this the latest cope? I saw that Americans on Twitter started pushing this argument (took months to come up with something) and now it is being spammed as the latest gotcha. Pretty weak desu when you cannot lit up a bridge in Los Angeles after people stole all the lights and copper
>>220965177Russia and mexico are second world poor shitholes, at least we have food. The definition of the word poor should be applied to Somalia, Congo or other African shithole.
>>220968484When Chinese literally can't drink their own water without dying yet they claim everyone else is coping
>>220969035Unless you are an American there is no point of getting into their fight with China as America do not have Europe's best interest in mind and them having monopoly over semi-conductors and AI is obviously not good for Europe. Obviously Americans feel their hegemon shaking a bit and their country displaying third world behavior like billion dollar insider trading every day at this point but we should not get into this fight. It was America that put tariffs on Europe and threatened to annex Greenland not China
>>220969116What does seething at America have to do with China being a completely under developed country that tries to use propaganda to hide this fact?
>>220969495What propaganda? Chinese are not even on the Western internet. When I see people talking about China 95% of the time it is either some American coping or Americans biggest lapdog in some Western European country. Zero reason for anyone else to get into these arguments
>>220969535>CopingWhy would someone need to cope about a third world country? The cope is pretending they aren't third world because they put light bulbs on sit>They aren't on western internetSure thing PK Changs
>>220969535>>220969116>>220968484I hope you get paid well to cope for China like this
>>220969604I mean, imagine how many people you can hire with a budget of 10 billion and an payout of only 50 cents an hour. That's literally 20 billion hours of content
>>220969581I don't know, ask Americans. They are the ones always making excuses about how Chinese are just copying, etc. Again: this is not my fightAlso there are several different arguments at play here and people just group it into one. Some coastal suburb in Southern California is probably much nicer place to live than Shanghai or whatever large Chinese city. At least I would much rather live in a place like that near the beach on a comfy suburb, I don't really care about skyscrapers. On the other hand you can appreciate the progress they made, in Hungary making a roundabout is like 4 years. China never went through the industrial revolution the same way Western countries did and now they are doing that but with advanced machinery that did not exist 100 years go>>220969604Here comes the typical lapdog type I was talking about. USA has been completely humiliating your country for around 80 years now and you still hope you can get some crumbs. I remember during Brexit (mind you, that was before the immigration "scandal" to Canada) you guys were fantasizing about sending back home all the dumb Eastern Europeans and attracting talent like America did. And how you are going to cuck Europe together with the USA. Did not really work out but you keep trying again and again. Just never learning and still pretending you are an empire, it is sad at this point
>>220969116Your average Amerimutt in a flyover state has a better quality of life and a higher wage than a Chinese Mainlander who lives in a 2 room flat in Chongqing or Shanghai ( which he does not own ).
>>220969712Sorry, China is a third world country. No amount of light bulbs will change this Chang. I'm sorry.
>YOU LAUGH AT GRORIOUS CHINA, THAT MEAN YOU LIKE MERICA
>>220969741Well I'm definitely not going to parrot the latest American argument because I'm not an American and they clearly made obvious that they don't really have Europes best interest in mind. Maybe your country have too many Chinese buying property or something and you hate them, that is fine. But I don't understand why you expect me to think the exact same way. >>220969766I'm pretty indifferent, that is point.
>>220969732Your average Chinese has less of a chance of being shot and raped in Shanghai and Chongqing than the Amerimutt in his flyover state. Better opportunities and quality of life too.
>>220962969Actually that's about median wage, so 50% (2024 stats)I'm in top 95% lol
Are China threads the lowest effort one can put to make anglo flags seethe?>muh median incomeComing from someone who pays 3000 dollars for Single Human Pod Premium.
>>220962935That's a province
>>220969832>YOU NO THINK CHINA IS FIRST WORLD, YOU AMERICAN
>>220969732I don't think "flyover" America is that bad. And America is a much wealthier country no one is arguing or debating that. But discussing America in general is extremely difficult because they are a very class segregated society with an extremely violent underclass. If you are on the poorer side in Germany for example you will live in some poorer looking area and drive an older car, that is about it. In America you are more likely to be surrounded by violence, drug addiction, horrible schools, general dysfunction, deteriorating cities and towns etc. It is hard to discuss. Average people are probably much better off in Western Europe or Australia. When American discuss career prospects, etc. they exclusively talk about the top 10%. Hard to debate things this way
>>220969999Of Japan. The last person to own them.
>>220969848>Your average Chinese has less of a chance of being shot and raped in Shanghai and Chongqing than the Amerimutt in his flyover state.But Mainlanders still wish to move to the US despite all that. Funny how that works!
>>220969873It makes sense you would defend China given China and Brazil share the same quality of life.
>>220970026Yet every Chinese person marries the first 2/10 JBW they see to live in the west/America
>>220969848All the murders in America combine don't even make up 1/10th the amount of Chinese murdered by their own government.
>>220970017Why do you expect me to parrot your arguments like some slave? Everyone should make up their own mind based on experience, I'm sick of this globohomo way of discussing things. Like black people in USA cause a fuck ton of violence and crime but I'm not going to hate the few blacks here in Hungary because they cause zero issues and in my experience are very polite. I'm not going to parrot some retarded American argument because someone on Twitter said so. Make up your own mind based on your life experience
>>220970097That's nice. China is a third world country with a living standard on par with Brazil. No amount of seething about America will change this objective fact. Seething about America accomplishes nothing Chang when every Chinese person sees America as a paradise and does everything in their power to buy American goods as it's seen as a luxary.
>>220970097I have been to China. See >>220963449>>220963248It's very poor and far below other East Asian nations like Japan, China, or Taiwan and also far below western countries to.
>>220970026>If you are on the poorer side in Germany for example you will live in some poorer looking area and drive an older car, that is about it.Same with the US. >In America you are more likely to be surrounded by violence, drug addiction, horrible schools, general dysfunction, deteriorating cities and towns etc. It is hard to discuss.Not necessarily true. The American experience varies from location to location ( and person to person ) but what's annoying everyone is that you're here painting the country and China in broad strokes and within the biases you hold. No offense, but whatever argument you are making against the US and in favor of China don't sound convicing and sounds more like someone just parroting what he found on 4chan/X ( which has been astroturfed to hell ).
>>220970154If China was that bad then you would not be so threatened and upset about it. The same way the American bloggers who really push this argument like Noah Smith etc. have zero problem with India, Indonesia, etc. because they pose zero threat to America. In general it makes no sense to be brutally obsessed about some country then pretend oh yeah, it is just like Brazil. Then why dont you spam aggressive posts about Brazil? Or Indonesia? Or any other country for that matter. Makes no sense to be this aggressive while pretending everything is fine. Americans did the exact same against Japan so its nothing new.
>>220970280I'm laughing at it while you seethe. I guessed i'm threatened by India too saar.
>>220970280Brazilians and Indonesians don't lie to the world pretending they are first world.Again I have been there, it is poor but pretends to be rich.
>>220970248No, America is fundamentally different than the rest of the world. Americans do not really feel a shared proximity based on nationality like most countries, it is all about social class. If you walk around some gated suburb they might call the cops on you, does not matter if you are American or not. Very different from the rest of the world. I'm assume have have never been to USALindyman wrote some about thishttps://xcancel.com/PaulSkallas/status/2025581894373400860#m

>>220970407OPs original argument comes from Twitter. Noah Smith, spends all day either fantasizing about India becoming a superpower and China failing. I just realized the Australian anon is probably Indian himself, they are the only ones feeling very strongly about China other than Americans due to that border dispute.
>>220970406I've seen those 2 in the same thread before
>>220970487Heres the latest American argument that is being pushed btwhttps://xcancel.com/Noahpinion/status/2046097354420318299#mIf you are going to get into the ring at least follow the latest propaganda from all sides
>>220970487>TwitterNo. The argument comes from the fact China is 2nd world but puts light bulbs on everything to appear developed. Both of these are facts. You sound very insecure Chang.
>>220970368>If you walk around some gated suburb they might call the cops on you, does not matter if you are American or not. Very different from the rest of the world.I stayed at a gated suburb in the US once and it never happened to me. And even if it were the case, you were probably doing something retarded or you don't belog there to begin with to warrant that shit.Also>If u hate China you must be a PajeetTop lel. China isn't sending its best LOL!
>>220970554They have been doing that for years and only in the past few weeks you guys started to push this counter-propaganda aggressively. It is very transparent
>>220968484> you cannot lit up a bridge in Los Angeles after people stole all the lights and copperkek
China's under development isn't just in its lack of clean air/water but in how Chinese act.Chinese spit on the floor, can't line up, always cut, bump into people as they walk, ect. It is very strange. In Shanghai old guys were spitting on the floors indoors and people literally just shove you as they walk by. This was the most developed city in China.However even in the rural parts of Taiwan people acted civilized, friendly and didn't fucking spit indoors.
>>220970595Sounds like this is a sore spot for you
>>220970631The fact of the matter is, people in third world countries aren't uncivlized because they are poor. They are poor because they are uncivilized. China will never be rich with a cut throat low trust culture.
>>220970595Also it is not even just the Chinese doing it. You see all the -stan countries building fancy new city centers with high-rises, etc. You see it on the Middle East obviously with Qatar, etc. Even in Europe you see rebuilding of old architecture to attract visitors, etc. Dresden, here in Budapest (rebuilding old stuff while the remaining stuff crumbles in classic Hungarian fashion) etc>>220970603Not even a joke>The $588 million 6th Street Viaduct in Los Angeles—known as the "Ribbon of Light"—has been plunged into darkness due to persistent theft, with criminals stripping over 38,000 feet of copper wiring from its iconic, color-changing arches.Americans really started pushing this "its just LED" after this came out lol
>>220970718I agree. China is your average Muslim country.
>>220970718Also it is not even just that bridge>The city logged 14,328 electronic streetlight service requests in 2018. Requests have soared since then, reaching an all-time high of 46,079 in 2024, the last full year of available data.

>>220970783Damn, I guess this makes up for China being a third world polluted dystopia!
>>220970718>>220970783What does seething about America have to do with China being impoverished with a low standard of living? Why don't you make a thread to seethe at America instead of coming here to do it Ling Ping?
>>220970883There are many third world countries and Americans only care about one, ask yourself why. I think Europe should sit this one out completely.
>>220970913>America America AmericaRent free. Seek help.
>>220971102Only reason anyone in Europe would feel strongly about China is America. I know your country is doing their lapdog service but Europe should absolutely sit this one out. It is a good thing that Donny boy is so dumb that he made it obvious for everyone how much America despises Europe. The Democrats were much more subtle about it

Chinese shills are taught to deflect everything to America or Japan. It's extremely predictable.
>>220971189Also I don't really understand how someone in Britain can be so anti-Chinese when you are already living in a dystopian nanny state where people get fined for Facebook comments but there are none of the positives of more authoritarian-minded countries like Singapore, etc. At least Americans have their "freedom" mantra, what does your country have exactly in this conversation? >>220971297Again see >>220971189Americans have been trying extremely hard to push Europe into their anti-China group as lapdogs
