Compared this with the UAssA.
Heavens and Hell
No eyes see!
The anti-China vloggers may ask how much the CCP paid Redbean for promoting China's beautiful cities, which they claimed are all fakes. The high-speed rails, the astonishing bridges, the ports, the airports are all fakes.
I thought one of them claimed that EVs are on fire throughout China and these beautiful places should have been burnt to ashes like the Maui fire in Hawaii. They may also insist that Redbean is a member of the CCP, LOL.
Redbeans are red in color. Socialist are also called the 'Reds'.
China's socialist policy of keeping the cost of living low is reflected in the quality of life of its people. Though their nominal income is lower than many countries, the value of the RMB is high in China.
They live well, eat well, dress well when all life necessities are really affordable. And with cheap high speed trains, they can travel all over the country freely, 游山玩水, even for the retirees.
Socialism is for improving the lives of citizens using a mindset of equality and sharing for all. As I said this, I could not help thinking about the crackdown on too rich celebrities like Jack Ma, Fang Bingbing, Zhao Wei and other rich businessmen running afoul of the law. Understand Jackie Chan is beginning to face the music as well.
No one is spared, not even those with close ties to the top echelon of leadership. Even ministers have been purged for corruption orther mistakes.
How to keep cost of living low when these top guns are reaping all the benefits, leaving the bottom segment of the population in poverty. China's system is lifting the bottom up while keeping a lid on the top predators going too far off limits. It is the opposite of what democracy is doing in the USA and the West, which is making sure the top 1% keeps making more while keeping the bottom homeless and poor.
Which is why the democratic West keeps chipping at the way that the CCP is running the country. It runs counter to what they are doing and doing more badly than China. The USA wants China to follow the West, but a regime change is not forthcoming by any means. The whole world can see, and it is no use hiding behind a facade of prosperity with the world's biggest companies and GDP which is hiding a failure in the works.
