> I also want to say the vast majority of news about China is extremely biased and a lot of them are absolutely false. The majority of news from China about the west is biased and absolutely false. More often than not the west gives China the benefit of the doubt. Look at the seasonal flu, we know China does not report deaths as 'died of X bought on by Influenza', they are 'died of X'. As a result China's seasonal flu statistics are crazy low. In 2016 it was reported they had 56 deaths, 2017 had 41 deaths, and 144 in 2018. In comparison the US had 23,000, 38,000, and 52,000. Knowing that they report COVID the same way we know that China's numbers for COVID are more or less a lie. > Poverty alleviation Local governments and village leaders have a system to seek money from the central government to be distributed. However there's been reports over the years of families being allocated a fraction of the money and forced to sign the forms declaring they recieved the money, while the money is kept by the distributor. So alot of rural area's people still live in poverty, but on paper they aren't. So you have to take the governments word with a grain of salt. > The issue is about labeling an entire group of people and saying they are evil or against my way of life and my ideals Most people who say they hate China, don't hate china, they hate the CCP.
