Not sure what you mean by this. The quality of life of people in China improved in the past 30 years much more than Americans quality of life did (some would argue that the latter even decreased). The CCP has really worked exceptionally well for the people. It might change, the fact that they don't have a democracy and Xi Jinping removed its own term limits exposes them to the risk of getting stuck with a bad or even terrible leadership. But so far it has worked remarkably well.
- mardifoufs 6y agoYes, but that's only if you ignore what the CCP did before the past 30 years. Of course China has had a much higher growth rate, they started from pretty much rock bottom in huge part because of the CCP's policies before the 1980s.
- Udik 6y agoSorry, but the GP's statement was declined in the present. In the present, and for the past 30/40 years, the CCP has done a great job for the people of China. So much so the US are freaking out because they're afraid of losing their leadership.
- moreorless 6y agoI don't know if our government policies and past acctions, assuming you're a fellow American, are any better. I am not just talking about the current administration.
- skinnymuch 6y agoYou picked a time period post Great Leap and the few decades after that.
- Udik 6y agoI picked the last 40 years up to the present. Seems a decent length of time to me.
