China isn't just 100 years behind they are going backwards. China has a civilization going back 1000's of years. It's the comparatively recent changes in government for their country that have caused the ruin you see now. The conditions inside US prisons (daily, predictable rape, etc.) rival those in any labor camp anywhere in the world. Those in US prisons for the most part all did something harmful to society that caused them to be put there. In China you get sent to prison for bad-mouthing the wrong person. I personally know people who have experienced this. And it's the norm not the exception. The comparison you make only demonstrates how truly different it is. China's main social issue is rich coastal cities and extremely poor inland areas. This geographical accident is behind many economic policies. The US is lucky to have rivers that tend to lead to a far more even distribution of wealth across geographical areas. The inland areas aren't poor because of geography. They are poor because it suits the government for them to be so. Do we really deserve to feel such righteous indignation? yes

China believes that it imprisons people who are doing things that are harmful to its society. How is selling someone Marijuana harming society? I think your conspiracy theory about China's poor regions is fairly off the wall. Look at the mountains and rivers and see how there are not good shipping routes, etc.

  China believes that it imprisons people who are doing things that are harmful to its society. That's an assumption. Their actions seem to indicate it is far less about harm to society and more to do with harm to Governments "status quo". I think your conspiracy theory about China's poor regions is fairly off the wall. Look at the mountains and rivers and see how there are not good shipping routes, etc. None of those things are insurmountable. And China has not been attempting to surmount them. Thus my point.
