    Thoughts of someone who hasn’t studied theory or China.

    As someone who doesn’t study theory, I think Chiang Kai-shek built Shanghai according to the Western model, with Western money. How much longer will you continue to build and develop it?

    what anecdote/anecdotal evidence means

    Google translates it as a joke.

    Cities obviously develop faster than rural areas.

    If you’re talking about urbanization, I know. In 1930, peasants made up 80% of the USSR’s population. The same situation was in China. What development are you talking about? If a city is developing, then peasants need to be resettled from the villages to the city so they can become workers.

    A city can’t develop without people.

    But you can’t resettle everyone; some will stay.

    If only you could have seen mine and our neighbouring villages

    Yes, that’s right, that video said that the rich regions are doing well, I didn’t argue with you about that.

    You wouldn’t be spreading all of this bullshit about rural people not seeing any benefits

    If you hadn’t spoken so harshly to me, I probably would have kept quiet, Comrade.

    OK. You’re from Shanghai or thereabouts. Please tell me, how much does a Chinese peasant who came to Shanghai without a residence permit earn per month?

    How much does a janitor in Shanghai, who is a Chinese peasant, earn?

    I’d be happy to believe you, but I once spoke with a resident of St. Petersburg who has no idea how people live beyond the Urals. When it comes to national pride, people try to hide their shortcomings, especially if you’re a staunch Chinese communist. The USSR also hid a lot, even from its own citizens. So your information isn’t objective to me, sorry, Comrade.

      I am not from a rich region 🤣

      You’re from Shanghai or thereabouts

      Not at all

      If you hadn’t spoken so harshly to me, I probably would have kept quiet

      And if you hadn’t been spreading bullshit I wouldn’t have felt the need to speak harshly. It would have been best if you had kept quiet instead of speaking nonsense.

      Comrade I think we should leave this here. Maybe we can talk again when you decide to educate yourself before speaking.

        And if you hadn’t been spreading bullshit I wouldn’t have felt the need to speak harshly.

        The thing is, I’ve heard this from a Chinese person many times on Reddit, and not only from a Chinese person. For some reason, I continue to act like an idiot.

        And I don’t really like it, Comrade, that you sometimes don’t answer questions.

        A janitor’s salary in Shanghai is $80-$100 per month. A Chinese farmer/worker without a residence permit in Shanghai earns $200-$400.

        Please correct me.

        Maybe we can talk again when you decide to educate yourself before speaking.

        As you wish
