This is why communism is the best system

China isn't communist and their standard for not being in poverty would be considered poverty in the United States. We make much more per capita than they do so if you are going to compare countries by economic success, our system wins.

Chinese don't die or go into lifelong bankruptcy or have to pay a million dollars for surgery
I don't think anyone is going to reach this person. Move on and spend your time more profitably somewhere else.

Yeah, they do. There is **** private heath care in China. It's not paid for by the government. Next time learn about something before posting and showing your ignorance.
In a hundred years no one will care. -

Not in the health care arena
Oh, so 8 out of 10 of the best hospitals on the planet are not in the US? Remind me which nation produces more new medicines & vaccines than any other? Which nation has the best doctors?
Oh, wait. The US leads in ALL of those. You must just be another piss-ant whining about not 'getting free ****'. Ain't nothing free.
Trump is still your President. Charlie Kirk still Wins! -

The US is one of the biggest pharmaceutical drug pushers on the planet you schmuck! That is why Americans are so dumbed down, their minds are kept in a constant state of numbness. You're a prime example…
I live in a country with a NHS. Its funded through a tax levy and isn't free by any means in that sense, it just doesn't tend to discriminate based on what is afforded in most cases at preposterous billing prices.
Private insurance is optional and offers some additional benefits like choice of hospitals, doctors and no waiting lists for non-emergency procedures.

China has lifted the most people out of poverty in world history
Poverty in China
Poverty is defined by China as anyone in rural areas earning less than about $2.30 a day (adjusted for inflation). It was fixed in 2010 and looks at income but also living conditions, healthcare and education.
According to the latest data supplied by the World Bank, only 0.6 percent of the Chinese population lived below the country's official poverty line of having less than $2.30 at their disposal per day.Jun 22, 2021
What is the poverty line in the US 2020?
Big Number: $26,200. That is the federal poverty line for a family of four in the United States, as determined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.Dec 16, 2020
I don't think raising people above a poverty line of $2.30 a day is reason to celebrate the communist system.
And for your further edification:
From Wikipedia
The Great Leap Forward (Second Five Year Plan) of the People's Republic of China (PRC) was an economic and social campaign led by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from 1958 to 1962. Chairman Mao Zedong launched the campaign to reconstruct the country from an agrarian economy into a communist society through the formation of people's communes.
Mao decreed increased efforts to multiply grain yields and bring industry to the countryside. Local officials were fearful of Anti-Rightist Campaigns and competed to fulfill or over-fulfill quotas based on Mao's exaggerated claims, collecting "surpluses" that in fact did not exist and leaving farmers to starve. Higher officials did not dare to report the economic disaster caused by these policies, and national officials, blaming bad weather for the decline in food output, took little or no action. The Great Leap resulted in tens of millions of deaths, with estimates ranging between 15 and 55 million deaths, making the Great Chinese Famine the largest famine in human history.
Now, tell me again how communism is the best system.

They raised people out of poverty not because of communism but because Xi Jinping's father set up "special economic zones" which freed the marketplace and allowed foreign investment and later convinced China to adopt a neomercantilist economy. Communism failed in China.

China isn't communist. It's a fascist dictatorship with atrocious human rights, but it's not communist. If it was, it would have collapsed long ago just like the Soviet Union.
Just because I'm not on THEIR side, doesn't mean I'm on YOURS. -

Don't be retarded. China has a certain section of its population locked into communism, enslaved by an authoritarian government, while their elites are conquering the world raking in trillions.
Their model is the one the US used during the slavery era.
