Things are getting crazy. As a Chinese, I have lived in Shanghai for 14 years and in Hong Kong for 7 years. I am very sure that China is the worst among countries with a population of over 100 million in the world. Of course you can choice don’t believe CIA, but The Economist is an independent media in the UK, not controlled by the government (do not conspiracy theory). According to the 2025 The Economist Democracy Index and List of freedom indices, China is equivalent to Yemen or Burundi. Yemen is famous for the Houthi armed terrorist organization, and Burundi has the lowest per capita GDP in the world.
It is typical for the view that the UK and Germany are vassal states of the US. If this is true, Meta will not be fined hundreds of millions of euros by the EU for GDPR every year.
As the world’s second largest economy, China does not have free medical care and not have free high schools. It was not until after 2005 that ordinary people were allowed to apply for passports and go abroad. The Chinese government levied high taxes of 53% - 65% of peoples (youtu.be/GJvoJDijxC4), but almost no services were provided. China’s food safety standards are lower than those of the EU livestock (bacterial maximum value of 200K vs 10K) (GB 19301-2010 & EC No 853/2004), China is also the most privacy-invading country in the world. There is no privacy policy here. The ID information of almost every Chinese can be found in certain groups on Telegram, including chat records and call records (I won’t cite it, please DM if you need it). 90% of China’s people earn no more than $500 a month, but the CCP government spends tens of billions of dollars a year to fund other countries instead of helping their own citizens (習近平承諾未來三年向非洲提供逾500億美元資金創造百萬就業機會).
99% of the world’s imitations are made in China, including China’s Beidou satellite and C919 aircraft. They are also plagiarized (法中祕密戰爭 紀錄片揭北斗導航偷技術黑幕 | 法國電視台 | 空中巴士 | 空客 | 大紀元). 99% of Chinese live in lies but do not know it. Even in China, no house is truly owned by ordinary people. We buy a house just to buy long-term use rights, which is about 50 to 70 years. On the other hand, in the US or any country, you can even oppose Trump or your leaders next to the White House around. In China, these people will disappear directly and torture to death in prison. I don’t want to say more. Anyway, China is much worse than you think. That’s it.
