China is doing better for its citizens than the U.S. is, but Trump is not keying on changing that. He is keying on....

[Roudy]

yes, it was. They clearly stated it was.

That's why they took the step of murdering the top leadership, to acheive regime change.

Except the Regime didn't change because most Iranians support the regime.

Most Iranians support the regime?! Bwahahahahahahahah! You just proved how ignorant and brainwashed you are.

How China Is Outperforming the United States in Critical Technologies​

According to the latest findings from Australian Strategic Policy Institute’s (ASPI) Critical Technology Tracker, which evaluates 64 critical technology categories across 8 domains (e.g., artificial intelligence and robotics), show that China leading in 57, while the United States leads in only 7 technology sub-categories. This is concerning because these critical technologies are the key input to advanced sectors that China is quickly overtaking.

China is outperforming the United States in several areas that directly impact everyday life (not all aspects but many), including quality of life, safety, transportation, infrastructure, and the affordability of food, among others.

While the U.S. offers higher income and wealth, China provides a lower-cost, safer, and less financially stressful living environment, narrowing the quality-of-life gap.

Cost​

Living expenses in China are significantly lower than in the U.S. The average monthly cost of living in China is around $650, compared to $2,515 in the U.S., making China approximately 74% less expensive overall. Housing in the U.S. consumes 25–35% of income, with monthly rents ranging from $1,200–$1,800, whereas in China, rents are typically $350–$700 per month. Daily expenses such as food and transportation are also cheaper in China, with transportation costs roughly 80% lower and food 50–60% less expensive.

Healthcare
Healthcare in the U.S. is costly, averaging $5,177 per household annually, and medical debt affects nearly half of adults. In contrast, China’s subsidized healthcare system costs $350–$565 per year, reducing financial stress. Education is another major difference: a four-year public university in the U.S. costs $50,000–$60,000, often leading to significant student debt, while in China, a full degree costs $3,000–$5,000.

Safety
China consistently ranks as one of the safest countries, with violent crime rates 5–10 times lower than in the U.S. and virtually no gun-related deaths. The U.S. has higher crime rates and a notable homelessness problem, contributing to stress and insecurity in daily life. Social support and community cohesion in China also contribute to a sense of security and well-being.

Income
Although U.S. households generally earn more, 60–70% of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck, compared to 30–40% in China, where households save more and experience less financial pressure. The average after-tax salary in China covers living expenses for 1.3 months, while in the U.S., it covers 1.8 months, reflecting higher absolute income but also higher costs.

Subjective
According to the World Happiness Report, subjective well-being and life satisfaction are influenced not only by income but also by social support, safety, and affordability. While the U.S. ranks higher in wealth and innovation, the everyday living experience in China can be less stressful due to lower costs, greater safety, and stronger social buffers.

Summary

• United States: Higher income, advanced infrastructure, diverse housing, and modern amenities, but higher costs, financial stress, and safety concerns in certain areas.
• China: Lower cost of living, safer environment, affordable healthcare and education, and less financial stress, especially in tier-two and tier-three cities.
  
  Overall, while the U.S. maintains advantages in wealth and innovation, China offers a more affordable and secure daily living experience, making the quality-of-life gap narrower than raw GDP or income figures suggest.

and what is Trump keying on?

What Trump Has Promised on China in a Second Term​

President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to take a tough stance on China in his second term.

In the new documentary China, the U.S. & the Rise of Xi Jinping, FRONTLINE traces how Trump’s first administration dealt with China, and the evolution of his tense relationship with the Chinese leader.

He is keying on
1) Tariffs
2) Crackdown on Economic Espionage
3) Restricting Chinese ownership of U.S. resources amd infrastructure

These are all "defensive" measures (meaning he considers China a dangerous foe instead of a potential ally). He is not keying on learning how to make things better for Americans and working together with China to make it happen. He is scared of China and wants to get rid of them and not learn from them.

Americans be damned. It is his ego first and foremost. Trump is a loser!

How many times are you going to post the same nonsense?

Banker needs the money.

Troll isn't a banker.
Little that the troll says it true.

There is nothing like that in China. There is no income inequality there. ...

Again, have you ever been to China? Your assumptions are hilarious.

 

[Unkotare]

China always has taken care of its people much better than we could ever hope for. ...

I'll ask you too, have you ever been to China?

 

[Unkotare]

They also have new infrastructure, malls, dams, roadways, and sewage systems that don't overflow or back up into the streets when it rains. Bridges that are not on the verge of collapse, and on and on.
...

Wow, you are NOT paying attention.
