EDIT: no, I don’t sympathize with nazis (neither I sympathize with those who call everyone nazi when they’re losing an argument ;)

    I’m celebrating the increase in life expectancy from 35 to higher than that of the US, actually, which is the win I think it is.

    The point is not the immediate increase in that specific 5 year period, the point is the clear trend of rapid, long term increases after a long period of stagnation, with the pivitol turning point being exactly when the CPC came to power. You’re supposed to look at the whole graph.

      China never manipulates data coming out of their authoritarian country so good thing we can trust it. I’m sure their life expectancy is great with all their industrial pollution that regularly causes smog in their inner cities.

        Here is my source do you have a source that disputes that? Or is your belief based entirely on unfalsifiable faith?

        Also curious if you think Chinese life expectancy is still like 35 or what lmao

        You may also be interested in what the World Bank, that infamous communist propaganda rag, has to say:

        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. With this, China has contributed close to three-quarters of the global reduction in the number of people living in extreme poverty.
