Stop watching TikTok’s of upper 1% areas. China has hundreds of millions living in urban slums, or in purely agricultural villages

just typed argentina into images
looks fine what's the problem

Just because they have a couple cities where they stick LEDs on fucking everything doesn’t mean that’s what it looks like everywhere.

Yes. GDP is a meaningless line-go-up metric. If something gets torn down and built anew in China, it counts towards GDP go up. If Russia quadruples its military expenses, GDP go up. If billionaires get even richer, GDP go up. Anything else is better, PPP, Poverty rate (though this has to be a universal interpretation of poverty), etc. Also, China lies. Dont believe anything coming from them, but dont disagree with them either.

are people really captivated by all the neon shit flashing 24/7? It's tacky and obnoxious

Basically Goodhart's law. Its how somehow Ireland is one of the richest places in the world for tax purposes.

>if they are poor & cant afford new housing, like with everybody else, the PRC will give them new FREE housing if they relocate.

Today in 2025, that same person is probably living in free government housing much better than the ricketly houseboat he was before.

comments are still zoomers glazing and chinamen reaching beyond the firewall to shill lmao

>"It is indeed better because America has no history and therefore no old houses."

Anon, don't be naive. The CCP constantly announces trumpian "BIG SOLUTIONS" to a problem, and then, the second it reaches regional administrations, it dissolves into sand. This goes for housing, food safety scandals, basically everything.

There’s visual charm to it and it seems very safe for a slum, that’s not wrong. But it’s very poor.

Nah you're just a loser and you're probably not even Argentina to begin with.

gdp is a meme that was never meant to measure what people are using it for.
but if you must use it, use the first derivative of gdp per capita over time.

Chinese cities look like they're from the 22nd century. Europe is a boring open air museum that's stuck in the past in comparison.

Probably HDI, although peepo here complain about that metric too. Really you just have to combine multiple metrics when judging.

I'd still much rather walk around at night alone here than the slums/ghetto of Argentina or America any other comparable country. But yes, to pretend there are no slums in China is silly.

China has potemkin technology, it's made to be flashy and look impressive for foreigners, but scratch the surface and you still see the same misery whether physical or psychological

>>213132110
it stands for gross domestic product - it's just a measure of all money exchanged for goods and services in a specific economy.
>>213132597
It is basically this, you could repeat the process 1 million times in a year and your GDP would be $1,000,000, but you'd still only have $1 and a pile of shit. The reason that governments are obsessed with it is because it's a great indication of well stock will perform as a greater demand for various service is always good for stock prices. It is also the reason that all government in the west are so invested in taxing their natives and giving the money to invaders through gibs, they go out and then spend the money stolen in taxes on extra products and services that one person wouldn't need to purchase - it is essentially a form of wealth distribution (to the thirdie masses and the (((corporate class))) - by way of theft from European natives.
