      I don’t know the answer to that, I’ve only been to Beijing.

      But overall, id argue with healthcare, public transit, building a new hospital when covid hit specifically for it, it seems like they’re doing better than nickel and diming them to death like USA. It costs money to breath here. Their EV setup is off the charts too. Even Ford CEO complimented it and drives a Chinese EV.

      The great Chinese achievement last century was lifting hundreds millions out of people poverty. That wont be everyone and some will still be living rough.

      I know a few people that live in rural USA and tap the ground for free water. Waste water from shower goes on random land and brown water into septic and get emptied when full.

      Super cheap compared to my city water.

      On the flip side they have complete shit internet access while I got fiber.

      They have to drive a ways (1 hr) for groceries and I got like 5 within 10in drive. Hell I could walk 20min to a convenience store or two.
