Oh yes, obviously I'm 100% wrong, that's real likely (50% crap and 50% outdated or inaccurate). How convenient that I'm 100% wrong. You're being disingenuous to say the least, and it paints your statements in an extraordinarily bad light.
China having lifted 400 million of its people out of poverty is based on a $1 per day rate of poverty. And it says nothing to the fact that they still have 3/4 of a billion people living on $1 to $2 per day, which is what I said and it is accurate. Would you like me to provide you with the most recent WHO and UN numbers? Are you not aware of what they actually are?
My information is not bunk or out of date. Here, a story about China raising the rural poverty rate from $0.55 / day or less to $1 per day or less. Sure sounds like they have no extreme poverty problems eh:

You say the US health care system is a joke? China doesn't even have a real healthcare system for the bottom billion of its people, and it doesn't have a social safety net at all.
America's life expectancy is nearly 10% higher than China's, despite our obesity and heart disease problems.
Your ad hominen attack on America's basic freedoms is baseless. China is literally a police state, by definition their basic rights are violated 24/7, as they have no freedom of assembly, no freedom of the press, no freedom of speech, no freedom to unionize, no freedom to protest, no freedom to vote democratically, no freedom of religion. So you're inherently and obviously wrong.
