It is factually true. Chinese have access to poisoned shitty water that everyone has to boil first and that's not only because of that chi bullshit. Meanwhile I have access to delicious spring water from Alps. China has achieved only superficial changes that will bite them in the ass in the future.

Do you seriously believe China is worse now then it was 50 years ago?

  China is not worse than it was 50 years ago however it's development is unsustainable and superficial.

        What's wrong with the latter? It's a standard practice of indian outsourcing companies like Infosys,Tech Mahinda,TCL... Also the "lifting out of poverty" is standard propaganda spread by CCP https://www.firstpost.com/world/china-claims-to-have-ended-extreme-poverty-but-experts-question-if-it-set-the-bar-too-low-9365111.html https://www.firstpost.com/world/china-claims-to-have-ended-e... What's nationalistic about that?

        One-liner national putdowns are nationalistic flamebait. If you had written substantively about "standard practices" that would be different, but you didn't. As for your GP post, if you read the site guidelines you'll see immediately why that wasn't acceptable as an HN comment.

Yeah except China actually cares about continuing that improvement. You've got that spring water now, but who is working on getting you a newer, better spring water, and has anybody called them a racist sexist misogynistic homophobic demon yet?
- objectivetruth 5y ago
  No, but nobody called America that either. Your anti-PC hyperbole in this thread is wearing quite thin. If you don't like being called a [racist, sexist, whatever], then either change or grow some thicker skin. People pointing out racially charged or misogynistic language in interpersonal situations is NOT causing widespread economic or industrial damage. No municipal water supply in the US ever canceled an infrastructure project or a new filtration plant because of political correctness. No, the worst that happens if somebody calls you a racist is... somebody called you a racist. You don't pay a fine, your business isn't seized, and -- most germane to your "point -- your water filtration plant isn't demolished.

>Chinese have access to poisoned shitty water And the so-called top dog of the west have cities where people for years had to get bottled water because the whole city were poisoned and whole states are drying out. Not everyone in the west are as lucky as those of us with clean water. Definitely not the US.

  >And the so-called top dog of the west have cities where people for years had to get bottled water because the whole city were poisoned and whole states are drying out. The point remains. Tap water is by default not drinkable, whereas water in the US is (barring some exceptions).
  - Daho0n 5y ago
    No it clearly is not. It migh be to you but I would never drink water in the US from the tap. When you are used to clean groundwater and discussions about water from the Alps not being clean enough then the water in the US is not even on the same level. And how did it look in the US in the 70's when it were booming like China is now? Children in plastic cocoons because the air were toxic with lead, drinking water full of crap, dead fish everywhere from dumping of chemicals in lakes and sea, radioactive waste leaking, etc.

In the US there are reports of lead and other toxic materials in the tap water. I dislike China but the US also has those issues, people are just unware of them.
