        I feel as though the low standard of living of the average Chinese national is a more decisive factor. The resources that could be spent on public welfare programs are spent on research and subsidies instead.

            It’s more like poor China with their average $5000 per year income.

            They also have a 0% homeowner rate. All property is owned by the state. As for the houses they do “own”, the typical city apartment or rural homestead is…deficient by Western standards.

              Sigh, I’ll dumb it down for you.
              if you have 5 rocks and it gets you a house, and another guy has 10 rocks that can only buy a Dr Pepper the guy with 10 rocks is not better off.
              And you clearly don’t know anything about the system of home ownership either.
              And their homes and cities are far more advanced and clean than let’s say the US shithole’s dilapidated cardboard shacks and glorified trailers. If they have a home that is.
              But I should’ve seen your bias from your first silly comment so I’m going to let you be in your delusion and ignorance and not waste my time.

                I’m having a hard time believing that you live in either China or the United States. You definitely don’t live in the United States because you aren’t familiar with our low income housing; if you do live in China, you’re job is to write these comments.

                If there is one thing I learned about Lemmy, it’s that there are quite a few bot handlers that don’t want it to gain momentum. We are going to need some form of identity verification if this community wants to get off the ground.
