You know during the flood happen last week, a few Chinese local officials lost their lives during the rescue mission. There's a reason why the CPC got such a high rating while the current american admin at rock bottom
Yeah CPC isn't the same kind of animal as western parties. They're actually on the ground doing community work.
Yep, even Xi Jinping during his early have to serve in the village, town, city and prefecture. It's not easy and it's high stress job, you have to get the result, making policy that's good for the place that you're serving and you have to show result to convince your peer to vote for you to get promoted. Especially now when China economy is shifting from low quality growth like real estate to high quality like EV, quantum computing AI and green energy.
Exactly, and the fact that people have to rise through the ranks and engage directly with the people they're serving means that they have a far better understanding of the actual problems people have than western politicians who are barely aware of their constituents.
There’s a massive wildfire happening in the North West Territories right now to the point where Yellowknife is completely surrounded and all I’ve heard are crickets.
Lack of reporting on Canadian wildfires has been stunning. For a while, you had the smoke all over US and Canada so they kinda had to talk about it, but now that it's gone there's basically no coverage. I bet most people don't realize the fires are still going.

With an extra dash of colonial seasoning.
And a smidgin of criminal incompetence (the United States' secret ingredient for, well, everything)
China saved people from flooding, but at what cost.
So I've noticed the propaganda about China has shifted over the past ten years. It used to be "China is a hyper-capitalist hellhole where everyone works for 2 cents an hour and you need a gas mask to breathe." Now it's "Yeah, China is fixing their problems, they're building ultramodern infrastructure and unrolling impressive social programs, BUT IT ALL COMES AT A COST."
maoists are still stuck on the first one 
Maoists websites in 2076: "It's now impossible to deny China is socialist, BUT I'M STILL MAD ABOUT THE GANG OF FOUR"
I recently tried looking up what the MSM says about the homeless population in China and how they try to help their situations, basically every site I checked was like “yea sorry to say but they’re doing well. We disagree with what they’re doing, but yea😔their centers for feeding and clothing the homeless and trying to work with them to get them housing and occupation/education opportunities are successful, sigh😞” it’s crazy to read. Like the Economist was the only one being like “uh China bad, they HAVE homeless people in their country.”
That speaks volumes about both governments attitudes towards their citizens.
I wish our government even pretended to give half as much of a shit as china's 
Indeed, my favorite part is when people argue how Chinese government does all these things to ensure that public is happy so that it can maintain political stability for itself, and I'm like yeah that's how things should work. The government should be primarily interested in ensuring that the public supports it, this isn't some gotcha.
It shows how neoliberalism has rotted people's brains. The government making things better is bad actually as it is an attempt to gain favour. Anything other than managed decline is unthinkable.
Unless it is bending over backwards to subsidise privately owned business, then it is fine and good to pander actually. Gotta make sure that the same handful of people keep getting obscenely richer.
Dear liberals, how does it feel to be outdone by the Workers' Party of Korea for the umpteenth time?
The right panel should show that moment The Zucc did a VR avatar high five over dead bodies after a hurricane.
incredible
the flood casualties are likely still too high. i hope the cpc invests in more flood-resistsnt infrastructure after this because it's only going to get worse.
“I feel like the citizens of this island have been called upon, maybe by a higher power, to actually help because no one else is helping,” said Kai Lenny, a professional surfer.
Hawaii Attorney General Anne Lopez said her department would launch “a comprehensive review of critical decision-making and standing policies leading up to, during and after the wildfires.
...
US Coast Guard cutters and rescue helicopters saved 17 lives and assisted 40 other survivors in reaching shore. FEMA said it has 150 personnel on the ground, including search-and-rescue teams, with more on the way.
Not saying USA didn't shit the bed on this one, but I feel like that one line in the meme needed some context.
When I think of governments helping their people, I think of Beijing 👍🏻
China's been busy working on doing things like eliminating poverty, creating public infrastructure, providing healthcare, housing, food, and education for all citizens. Chinese government practically eliminated poverty, building infrastructure having used more concrete in 3 years than US in all of 20th century, building 27,000km of high speed rail in a decade.
China has also been doing things like ensuring that everyone has housing with 90% of families in the country own their home giving China one of the highest home ownership rates in the world.China's been improving real wages (i.e. the wage adjusted for the prices you pay) that have gone up 4x in the past 25 years, more than any other country, and making sure people have high social mobility.
Congratulations on being unintentionally correct.
