Medical Care in China

[Unkotare]

We hear folks here often insisting on how China today is still as 'pure' communist as ever, but medical care there is not what a lot of people may think.

If someone needs an ambulance, you have to pony up the cash to pay for the ride ahead of time or you don't get on that ambulance. If you need an expensive medical procedure, you'd better slap that cash in the doctor's hand (yes, personally and directly) or he simply won't do it. If an elderly family member becomes seriously ill, that family has to seriously consider that person's treatment vs the education of younger family members.

^ That is horrible. In a society which is supposed to be socialist, this kind of callous attitude towards patients is unfortunate.

Generally, they prisoner of the habits. Generally, they can not accept the Western medicine. They trying to pretend that real healing is theirs, thousands of years of quackery.They asked legal rights, that to practice in Hungary in 2013. Three member of party the government representatives endorsed and presented the petition to parliament. I think, they can not read and write in their own language, in general. Very many Chinese live in Hungary and speak our language perfectly.

No more than anyone else.

Generally, they can not accept the Western medicine.

That is simply not true.

They trying to pretend that real healing is theirs, thousands of years of quackery.

Traditional medicine is not "quackery," nor does it preclude other forms of medicine.

I think, they can not read and write in their own language, in general.

Sorry, I have a bad English, but I try to explain it what I had thought.


".....The Chinese Standard Interchange Code (CNS11643)—the official national encoding standard—supports 48,027 characters, while the most widely used encoding scheme, BIG-5, supports only 13,053.

In Hong Kong, which uses traditional Chinese characters, the Education and Manpower Bureau's Shû oengjung Zi Zijing Biu (常用字字形表), intended for use in elementary and junior secondary education, lists a total of 4,759 characters." Chinese characters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You've seen the Chinese writing?

You can to write with chinese language this Chinese wisdom?
There is a famous quote from Kong Zi (Confucius): “He who learns but does not think is lost; he who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.”

They can learn ONLY to write until end of their lives?

What do you think, is it true?

"China growth probably half reported rate or less, say skeptics

By Ross Finley
LONDON (Reuters) - China's economy is growing only half as fast as official data shows, or maybe even slower, according to foreign investors land analysts who increasingly challenge how the world's second largest economy can be measured so swiftly and precisely......
....."We think the numbers are fantasy," said Erik Britton of Fathom Consulting, a London-based independent research firm and one of the more vocal critics of official Chinese data. "There is no way those numbers are even close to the truth."....
...That statistical stability comes at a time when prices of global commodities, which China still hungers for despite a campaign to rebalance the economy away from investment and manufacturing toward consumer spending, have cratered.

But perhaps the biggest question is how a developing country of 1.4 billion people can publish its quarterly gross domestic product (GDP) statistics weeks before first drafts from developed economies like the United States, the euro zone or Britain, and then barely revise them later....
..The uncanny official calm in China GDP data may well be contributing to skeptics' exit from Chinese assets just as the authorities struggle to manage a volatile stock market....
..."MAN MADE"Li Keqiang, now Chinese Premier, was cited in leaked U.S. diplomatic cables years ago from when he was Communist Party head in Liaoning province calling GDP figures "man-made" and unreliable. This remains a buttress for widespread scepticism.

Fathom publishes a simple indicator based on three variables that Li said at the time he watched for a better view of how his local economy, and by extension the national one, was faring: electricity consumption, rail cargo volume, and bank lending....

"Clearly nobody believes the data," said Sushil Wadhwani, a former Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee member and founder of Wadhwani Asset Management LLP.

"I truly don't know where we are in that range", he said.

China’s National Bureau of Statistics did not respond to requests for comment on the accuracy and speed of its GDP data....."
