    1. Why would you use shit for comparisons? Compare upwards. And why would you inject US into this thread too?
    2. I don’t care about this thread or you, why would I spent more effort showing more metrics?

          I think lifting that many people out of extreme poverty in that short of time is admirable, and speaks to how recent the rise has been. The fact you’re saying “but they don’t have as good of worker amenities like paid time off of Europe that wasn’t at nearly such a disadvantage” is a wild standard.

            Why is it “a wild standard”? We’re taking workers rights. China is a big, wealthy developed country, why would we not expect from it at least good labour laws? The worker exploitation is not admirable. And I detest anyone who says otherwise.

              So why aren’t you more bothered by the worse actor that’s been the hegomonic superpower for the past 80ish years?
