        Buddy, you realize you’re quoting a source from 2011? Over the past decade GDP/capita in China has more than doubled and the number of people living below the poverty line has dropped from 100 million to less than 1 million.

        Do people not check facts anymore? Jesus fucking Christ man. It’s like y’all never learned the basic scientific process.

          Do people not check facts anymore?

          Likewise, do people not cite sources for their own claims?

          Buddy, I’m talking homelessness specifically, not just poverty. Show me proof China’s reduced homelessness significatly. Because the most recent figure I could find was 2015… where there was an additional 500,000 homeless people from 2011, largely due to exploited migrant labor.
