2016 analysis and 2020 outcome.

The People’s Republic of China has no middle class. It has a master/slave relationship with its citizens

China has a strong middle class and a highly educated workforce. They are major consumers of goods and services in the world

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/26/how-many-americans-qualify-as-middle-class.html

That would mean that China has over 500,000,000 middle class citizens. Ridiculous.

How well-off is China's middle class?

China’s economic development has lifted hundreds of millions of Chinese out of poverty and resulted in a burgeoning middle class.

Over the past several decades, China’s economic development has lifted hundreds of millions of Chinese out of poverty and resulted in a burgeoning middle class. Middle class households typically have enough income to satisfy their primary needs – food, clothing, and shelter – with some disposable income left over for additional consumption and savings. In 2002, China’s middle class was only four percent of its population. A decade later, this number had climbed to 31 percent, constituting over 420 million people

..and they don't take care of their citizens:

In China, the water you drink is as dangerous as the air you breathe | Deng Tingting

Nearly half the country has missed its five-year water quality targets, Greenpeace research shows – so what can be done about water pollution?

www.theguardian.com

Air quality is bad too

Doesnt mean that the middle class in China has not exploded

The homeless population has a middle class. You argument is ridiculous.

They say truth is stranger than fiction and no author could have written anything like what happened in 2019. Just when the Chinese were in a terrible jam with a US president that was leading the charge to make them pay their fair share after years of taking America to cleaners with trade arrangements guaranteed to wipe out the middle class in the US, along comes a hundred year pandemic right out of the blue in the nick of time.

What a fantastically magical turn of fate! It was like winning the lottery just when you about to be evicted! The fact that the fortunate plague came from an area that experiments with man made plagues was apparently just some kind of enchanted coincidence!

On top of that, the permanent political structure of the US has blamed the whole thing on the current president! Boy those Chinese have luck like no one has ever seen in recorded history! This is the stuff of storybooks that will go down in the annals of recorded human events that defy comparison!

The people may learn to live with the plague but the Chinese have proved that there will never be a cure for stupid.

Sure

China killed hundreds of thousands of their own people just to piss off Trump

Why didn’t they just secretly send it over here and save their own people?

They have a population of a billion people. They play the long game. When you have more chips than anyone else you just out-bet the table until you win.

Trump started an unnecessary trade war with China and our allies

It has been a disaster. He has destabilized the world and strengthened Chinas and Russia’s standing on the world stage.

In a recent Pew Poll of global powers, Xi was trusted more than Trump

Progs are yesterday's news and tomorrows new Stalinists!

Trump is trusted less than the Stalinists
