Got a mystery down vote on my comment. Just FYI, whimsicalism, I didn't downvote you (or anyone in these comments for that matter). But to answer you, I"m not talking about populations at large being uplifted, I"m talking about what's at the very bottom. I'm also talking about the middle to lower class in the US. The notion that access to human rights will continue to increase monotonically for everyone by default isn't bearing out in the present day, at best, people are trading places across the globe. The mid-West of the US with the upper-middle-class of China, for instance.
- lazylizard 6y agodidnt up or down vote. but just saying. practically all of the 1b people that the un claim have been lifted out of poverty in the last 3 or 4 decades are chinese. in fact. the chinese recently just claimed to have finished the job. apparently the very last village classified as being in poverty there got reclassified.
- h0l0cube 6y agoHave people forgotten about the Uyghur concentration camps already? China claim it's not happening, and yet a number of ally countries (in the middle east of all places) have declared their praise for the initiative. These are basically slaves (a sharp drop in human rights and wage, obviously), for the profit of China. https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/china-83-major-brands-implicated-in-report-on-forced-labour-of-ethnic-minorities-from-xinjiang-assigned-to-factories-across-provinces-includes-company-responses/ https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/china-83...
