    Fasco-capitalst is an exaggeration, but there’s no way a country intentionally keeping the standard of living of the working class that low, just to remain as the world’s sweatshop is Marxist-Leninist nation.

      Fascinating. I’ve often seen very video game-esque simplifications of complex geopolitical and economic situations, but to think all Xi has to do to fix the standard of living is just turn a slider up like in a video game! Doesn’t he know that the 10% happiness boost the people get will outweigh the additional income cost per turn, especially in the long run? And he hasn’t even started trying to build any world wonders smh.

      intentionally keeping the standard of living of the working class that low

      Let’s see:

      Over the past 40 years, the number of people in China with incomes below $1.90 per day – the International Poverty Line as defined by the World Bank to track global extreme poverty– has fallen by close to 800 million

      China’s battle against poverty has benefited the largest number of people in human history

      That truly sounds like hell
