@purecomments @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 As for brainwashed mindset? I'll take the vastly better quality of life here, thanks. You know Japan, Korea, Taiwan... These kinds of places. "Be happy with $30 a month" sure sounds like brainwashed to me.

@CrowCasey182573 @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 I didn’t agree with anything you said in fact. I only pointed out pensions r dependent on contributions. Doesn’t matter. U can continue to live in your brainwashed mindset while 🇨🇳 continues to improve. They don’t need your validation. Have a good life.

@purecomments @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 Good luck. I wish you one day have empathy for pensioners who have $30 a month. But when you live in the bubble of tier one or are one of those who escaped the CCP (why else would you be outside the glorious motherland? 😀) then I'm not expecting much from you.

@purecomments @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 Oh and listen to that piece of fucking genius. "He included children and retirees." As if any country would ever include these obvious groups. Barely a single rural person gets anywhere near 1000 a month. That's why you agree with paying pensioners $30 a month.

@purecomments @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 Oh and it's David Fishman. Yeah... He once claimed that there are no villages in China without running water in each dwelling. There are. It's easy enough to find those villagers who would tell you that. Wumao is wumao is wumao

@gaucho6 @SariArhoHavren You did provide them. You still do. And Ukraine is winning. You should worry more about the 600m Chinese earning less than ¥12000 per year if you really care for Chinese people. You don't. Because you're a CCP wumao. Nothing more than that.

@SariArhoHavren You should be grateful to China for not providing any military equipments and dual use products to Russia . If China did it, your Finland would have been wiped out from the world map

Whether China “supports” Russia’s war is the wrong question. The right one: through which channels, at what scale, and what does Beijing gain? CRINK is fundamental in this equation and works as a strategic architecture, not a marriage of convenience. 🧵1/

@MarkOConnell1 @ichbinArno @haugejostein Progress! x.com/whyyoutouzhele…

@CrowCasey182573 @ichbinArno @haugejostein Just because living standards are still lower in China,than the west doesn't mean that progress isn't impressive. Particularly considering the needle is only going one way. 110k Americans died from overdose in 2022 FFS

My Portuguese friend: “Why should I be forced to buy overpriced German cars? They didn’t want to buy our overpriced t-shirts when China joined the WTO.”

@purecomments @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 We're not going to agree. Good. I'm going to work now.

@purecomments @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 How is it for those 600m learning less than ¥1000 per month? It doesn't matter, that's what... Because they're so far from good hospitals that they just better off dying. In fact, many do that - commit suicide instead of burdening their children. You love Chinese people?

@purecomments @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 You'll never have to bribe a doctor in a bigger city 40,000 rmb for cancer treatment or any other serious disease. Your location, Shenzhen is telling. A small number of Chinese can avail of that big city access. You're a foreigner with foreign privilege. Of course you are.

@CrowCasey182573 @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 Pensions depend on how much you paid in your work life, same all over the world. I visited a hospital in Shenzhen a few months ago. Consultation+blood test+ultra sound cost me £60 and it’s a foreigner’s rate. Locals get a lot more subsidies.

@purecomments @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 Yeah, they're politically correct. They call it "managed" so not freely floating. IMF use Foreign Exchange Intervention. This refers to a central bank actively buying or selling foreign assets, utilizing capital controls, or setting daily midpoint fixing to manipulate currency.

@CrowCasey182573 @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 IMF report a few months ago, stating that the Chinese yuan was broadly stable and that its exchange rate reflected economic conditions, thereby rejecting deliberate, government-led manipulation. elibrary.imf.org/view/journals/…

@purecomments @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 Again, not true. Sure some savings are cultural. The major reason is that Chinese have no faith in healthcare not needing massive bribes for a doctor. Pensions are as low as $30 a month. Find another so called big economy who treats their citizens with that pension

@CrowCasey182573 @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 Chinese just love savings regardless of what situations, totally opposite of Americans’ credit culture. If you ask them 50 years ago or now, it’s the same. Saving is a Chinese virtue.

@purecomments @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 Your report is ten years old. The IMF are slow about everything and willfully blind about China.

@CrowCasey182573 @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 They are not IMF

@purecomments @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 Exactly. Chinese people save 45% of their income because they have no faith in healthcare and social security in the future. That's why other countries spend, because they're not terrified of the future. You like a tiny number of millionaires vs figures I showed you. You love 🇨🇳?

@CrowCasey182573 @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 Your claims are just ridiculous. How do you force ppl to be poor and excessive savings at the same time? China in fact is doing everything they can now to encourage spending. China is a middle income country. There r still poor ppl yes. But they also hv millions of millionaires.

@CrowCasey182573 @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 You haven’t read that report.

@purecomments @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 Li Keqiang: 600 million people with a monthly income of 1,000 yuan China Social Security Association: 964 million people with monthly income below 2,000 yuan CICC: Those with monthly income below 5,000 yuan account for 95% of the total population - nothing to say?

@purecomments @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 That would be fine and good if you weren't a mercantilist leech. In fact, like other countries, you could import goods from others. That would happen if you didn't keep Chinese poor to force excessive savings and then subsidize manufacturing.

@purecomments @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 No. They don't reject that. You sound like a CCP wumao. Because you really are. But that's fine. I always remind myself that people like you hate Chinese people.

@CrowCasey182573 @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 Wow. This looks like a script exactly from the Trump’s press office! IMF reports rejected the claim that China manipulated the currency. imf.org/-/media/files/…

@purecomments @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 If you loved Chinese people. You don't. But if you did... You'd see that China's destruction of Chinese demand and mercantile leeches is bad for Chinese as well as the rest of the world. It's actually very bad for Britain too.

@purecomments @KangYu8964 @milesyu10 Here are the numbers... Li Keqiang: 600 million people with a monthly income of 1,000 yuan China Social Security Association: 964 million people with monthly income below 2,000 yuan CICC: Those with monthly income below 5,000 yuan account for 95% of the total population
