minus-squareDessalines@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down2·11 hours ago So who told you china is trustworthy? The Chinese people. Non-anecdotal evidence, from an anglo source: In contrast to low US political approval ratings, 96% of Chinese are satisfied with the national government (Edelmans 2016). World Values Surveys says that 83% think the country is run for their benefit rather than for the benefit of special groups. A Harvard research center study of long-term public opinion survey finds that > 95% of Chinese citizens approved their government. How is this possible in a one-party state? (TED talk by Eric X Li) The real wage (IE the wage adjusted for the prices you pay) has gone up 4x in the past 25 years, more than any other country. This is staggering considering it’s the most populous country on the planet. The US real wage by comparison is lower in 2019 than it was in 1973. CGTN documentary - China’s war on poverty
