They don't have universal healthcare in china and the healthcare they have here is shockingly poor with the doctors getting kick backs for promoting homeopathic remedies over actual medicine. The subsidised education they have is again so poor parents would rather send their kids abroad and pay more. The housing is only affordable because the build quality is terrible, it's just concrete.

Source: I live and work in China. Have dealt with all these issues. I am from the UK originally, so I'm used to a national health service, and I am telling you the health care here is terrible.

You don't have a fucking clue what you are talking about you drivelling little marxist.

Chinese universities are so great all the Chinese elite send their children abroad for their education. If that's not an endorsement, I don't know what is! /s

The Chinese university system is genuinely meritocratic, whereas in America you can buy your way in, so many wealthy party members will opt for the latter rather than face the shame of sending their kids to a lower-tier Chinese school.

There is little to no point in this meritocracy when the quality of education is so poor. Furthermore the amount of private tuition you have to pay for in order to attain a place at these universities to begin with, and the allocation of resources for education being geared towards China's main cities, means that the poorest only get the chance at a sub standard education.

    ‘Ew, this cake is all crusty and not sweet at all! It hurts my mouth!’

    ‘It is called bread, Your Majesty.’

    This is great. Where's it quoted from?

      The fact you're being so smug after every single point you made was refuted only further cements my belief that you're an imbecile.

        The NHS, though a good health care system, is by no means a perfect standard. I received better, albeit expensive, health care in the US. I've also had to deal with the health care of many countries now, so yes I can give a fair assessment of the health care system in China and it is low quality, expensive and corrupt.

        I don't need to project anything. You literally said that China has universal health care, which is a down right lie.

        The lengths you are going to to salvage your ego when you've been called out for chatting bull shit are pretty disgusting.

        There are plenty of Scots and Irish folks I know who are not pleased with their doctors right now, for obvious reasons.

        The US is also deemed one of the best in the world.

        It's a pretty low bar.

        Who would have thought that NHS is a blessing in disguise.

        Not to mention all the youth left outside the housing market because the party refuses to let the bubble go puff.

        actual medicine

        Like chemotherapy? Haha, actual medicine is nothing but big business fool.

        The reason it's big business is because they sell something that works you fucking retard.
