is lifting 800 million people out of poverty putting "the people's boot" on their neck?

[–] AwkwardBroccolli@lemmy.ml -3 points 2 weeks ago (17 children)

800 million lifted out of poverty by CPC based on reports by CPC conducted under the administration of CPC. Commended by CPC.

And confirmed by every single international observer? Do you have any evidence that China's lying besides conspiracy brain? Do you think the hyper capitalist world bank is lying to help China? https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2022/04/01/lifting-800-million-people-out-of-poverty-new-report-looks-at-lessons-from-china-s-experience

Give me an explanation for this that isn't racism, please

World bank reports use reports by the CCP to report on China. It's a well known fact. They cant conduct independent surveys in China

Absolutely impenetrable Western chauvinism brain. Literally all evidence is to the contrary. You can provide nothing to support your position - it's just an article of faith. You're the flat-earther of geopolitics.

As a nation that suffered profoundly under colonial and imperialist exploitation, I too would like to give up control over my economic narrative to foreign powers and let the World Bank operate freely and risk getting my sovereignty undermined and open venues for capitalist subversion. We all know data is neutral, amirite?

Your answer is a rhetorical device and relies on the belief that nations like the US don't have capacity to prove that China is making up their numbers and wouldnt make it public the moment they'd have proof.
