    guaranteed standard of living

    For people under the poverty line, which is only $2.30 a day. So their “standard of living” is $840 a year to get by on. Even in China that’s not fucking sustainable.

    China has a way to go in terms of healthcare and other benefits

    So you’re saying you’re cool with Chinese farmers not being able to afford going to the hospital because Supreme Leader Xi forced them to grow the cheapest crops imaginable?

    If that out of work rural worker wants the minimum income and a roof over his head, all he has to do is go back home

    Lol. Lmao even. "Losing your job and abandoning your home because of authoritarian regulations is ok’
