I do not disagree with that stance; but now we are comparing a population of 1 B people and a country the size of US+Europe+more with the US or a European country. E.g., it would sound a bit like comparing all of the opportunities and prospects kids in the EU have to the US and calling the geographic discrepancies “social barriers”. So, the “poor european families don’t get to send their kids to the fancy US schools”. I don’t disagree there is unfairness - but it exists everywhere and China just has more people than US, EU, Canada, UK combined.
