đin what world? The average Chinese citizen has a standard of living no where close to the average American. I lived with a Chinese foreign exchange student for a year in college and it was crazy hearing what his âmiddle classâ background entailed in China, suffice to say even people of lower socioeconomic status anywhere in the west live standards way higher. Thatâs not even to mention the non existent personal freedom and often draconian social norms. From a social development perspective China is still a third world country compared to the west.
I mean that was a bit hyperbolic, but itâs not exactly functionally incorrect. My friend was pretty open about what life in China was like for average people, but there was certain things he didnât feel comfortable talking about and he heavily implied that he was being constantly tracked while in America and that his phone was able to record him⌠suffice to say itâs clear the CCP keeps a pretty tight leash on people at home and abroad.
