>People do not talk this in real life "American dream" / land of opportunity" "Government Assistance Lifts 45.4 Million Out of Poverty in 2021" - US Census Bureau >odd phrasing And accurate. Governance systems > individual effort. Populations do as well as their system allows. At scale of large nations, it's mostly down to management, even suggesting it's a team effort is being charitable. Contrast how India is doing under same timeframe, ergo accurate to say CCP governance was/is primarily responsible for lifting 800m people out of poverty. TLDR of "China lifted 800 million out of poverty" is fine. More accurate and neutral TLDR is "Chinese Communist Party lifted 800 million out of extreme poverty" But for some reason most western press like to minimize/trivialize the CCP part with China.

  >he's likely just a I'm a PRC born person who likes to keep up with PRC related geopolitics, now based in CAN but have lived/worked between East and West with experience in both systems if that helps you calibrate. Not an enthusiastic supporter, nor paid, nor imprisoned by regime. Just some dude whose a nightowl who pass time on forums that responds to posts that pique my interest, usually under different accounts for different subjects on other platforms, but on HN it's just this. >I remember his name ... >he's tracked down a post of mine deep inside a thread. I don't remember you at all, my custom CSS on hn/reddit removes user names by default. And I listen to mass comments with a screen reader. Certainly dont' care enough to track anyone down. If you want, I can mute your account to avoid future interactions. E: I will just go ahead and do that for both our sake, this account has already been rate limited because people think I'm state sponsored shill. Which gives me ~5 comments day, that I tend to titrate based on interest, which means generally spending them on PRC topics to exclusion of other subjects. Which reinforces that perception. Wish you well otherwise.
