China was poorer than Africa in 1973. What about today?The data says China was extremely poor. List of regions by past GDP (PPP) per capita - WikipediaChina was very poor, and illiterate before communism. Now it is perhaps the most educated nation on the planet. It is also not so poor anymore. Certainly far from all the capitalist shitholes that used to be richer than China in the third world countries.That is a lie. China had a famine like it did long before communism. Now communism has turned China into a educated superpower.
So let me get this straight...you're just fine and dandy with killing off millions of your citizens if it makes you a "superpower"? It isn't communism that's turned China into a superpower. They were a superpower LONG before communism even existed. Where they could be now if they had stayed away from communism?
You know nothing about Chinese history. It was one of the richest nations in the world and one of the most advanced long before communism reared it's ugly head.
Does your "data" tell you about the plight of the rural Chinese? GDP has increased by leaps and bounds for China but there is a massive gap between well being in rural areas and in urban areas. Oh, wait...you'd have to actually KNOW something about China to grasp that...you're more of a "China For Idiots" kind of guy...aren't you!
