To those that believe that US system is rotten and ineffective and think that Chinese are doing something right because they are Chinese I can tell you only one thing.
NEVER TRUST A COMMUNIST REGIME.
Even if you compare millionaires to millionaires the quality of life in China is far worse than in the USA. Never trust a communist propaganda. Never ever do that. The gov and chinese in general are known for trying to save face at every occasion and will fabricate anything that can benefit them.
If USA and UK is so bad then why thousands of Chinese are trying to immigrate there ? In Communist regime even if you are good and talented you will become a property of the state and they will use you for their benefit. Do not expect a good quality life but constant abuse for more propaganda and mind control.
No wonder that massive amount of people of Hong Kong are requesting british passports. Because in China you are nothing more than a property of a regime.
- legulere 11y agoGood then that China is an autocratic capitalist country and not communist.
- suryon 11y agoYeah autocratic capitalist country my ass. Did you get your pills today ? There is not a true communist state in the world. Not even DPRK. But China after DPRK has the most communist traits. It's ugly regime and if you have never been there or did business with them you have no clue what you are talking about. And that is just the tip of the iceberg.

- Grue3 11y agoAh, the good old No True Scotsman.
- legulere 11y agoChina today has nothing to do with communism. If you talk about the cultural revolution and communism that's fine with me. But there's nothing really left in China that you could call communist.
- tormeh 11y agoAhahaha! China is not the Soviet Union. It's a capitalist society like almost anywhere else, and I'm positive that being rich in China rocks (apart from the air pollution).
- suryon 11y agoThen you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. And the air pollution in China is something you can't imagine. The VW scandal is nothing compared to chinese air pollution. And China is far worse than the former Soviet Union because they have more money and more control. Being lower class in China is far worse than in former states of the soviet union.
- Tinyyy 11y agoYou talk a whole lot, but you've never addressed his point that "it would rock being rich in China". (I am not taking a side).
- suryon 11y agoBeing rich does not guarantee that you will have a good life anywhere. There are numerous other things you have to consider. Yes a rich man can buy a big land for himself and build a wall to keep the beggars outside. He can even move to the countryside and never go out or use a private jets / helicopters. The thing is that China is a home for a lot of people and is too polluted and crowded because of wealth distribution. If people do not care about the environment, intellectual property and a countless of other things then being rich and filthy rich are too different things. A wealthy man can walk the streets of european/american cities without worrying too much about its health or not having a space for himself without guards. Do not forget that european / us cities are dwarves compared to Asia in general. The movie Elysium is a good picture (maybe too exaggerated but hey) of people being wealthy in China. Yes you can have a good life in a golden cage but it's still a cage.

- miochat 11y agoWhat? You mean the People's Republic of Capitalism?
- sjckey3c 11y agoI'm a chinese. I think most of what you said is right. The gov achieved a lot of success. At the same time, they made lots of mistakes and commited lots of crimes.
- suryon 11y agoThanks for commenting. I hope you did not get from my comment above that I have a negative opinion about chinese people in general. It's quiet the opposite in fact. People of China have achieved a lot but I am afraid too many of chinese people had to and still have to suffer and distribution of wealth in China is worse than in the other parts of the earth.
- echevil 11y agoA bogus claim like this is no better than any communist propaganda at all
