Half of your points here are completely crap, and the other half are just outdated or inaccurate. I think you need to take the blinders off your eyes are wake up. Its a fact that China has lifted about 400 million of its own people out of poverty (a fact that even the EU says is probably one of the most remarkable things of the last 30 years) The life expectancy of the average Chinese citizen has increased by about 3 years since 1990 to 71.4 which is 5 years (or there about)above the world average and 6-7years above the average level in developing countries. The US health care system is a joke in many other countries so you cant say that it comes anywhere as close. I can say that having friends/family that have lived/worked Europe/UK, China and the US and I would say that the US is probably the very worst place out of the lot when it comes to basic freedoms. When I think of propaganda, no one does it better than the good old US of A.

Oh yes, obviously I'm 100% wrong, that's real likely (50% crap and 50% outdated or inaccurate). How convenient that I'm 100% wrong. You're being disingenuous to say the least, and it paints your statements in an extraordinarily bad light. China having lifted 400 million of its people out of poverty is based on a $1 per day rate of poverty. And it says nothing to the fact that they still have 3/4 of a billion people living on $1 to $2 per day, which is what I said and it is accurate. Would you like me to provide you with the most recent WHO and UN numbers? Are you not aware of what they actually are? My information is not bunk or out of date. Here, a story about China raising the rural poverty rate from $0.55 / day or less to $1 per day or less. Sure sounds like they have no extreme poverty problems eh: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-15956299 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-15956299 You say the US health care system is a joke? China doesn't even have a real healthcare system for the bottom billion of its people, and it doesn't have a social safety net at all. America's life expectancy is nearly 10% higher than China's, despite our obesity and heart disease problems. Your ad hominen attack on America's basic freedoms is baseless. China is literally a police state, by definition their basic rights are violated 24/7, as they have no freedom of assembly, no freedom of the press, no freedom of speech, no freedom to unionize, no freedom to protest, no freedom to vote democratically, no freedom of religion. So you're inherently and obviously wrong.
