    China also spreads the wealth out among the population and they’ll execute the wealthy if they break the law. Like the guy who knowingly sold bad baby formula.

    It ain’t perfect, but they’re doing pretty well in their transitionary socialist state.

      China doesn’t spread the wealth out though. The inequality is huge and obvious.

      Yes, it’s not US bad. And almost everyone has a house and food, which is a solid baseline.

      But the PRC’s social structure has ossified and is already growing inequality gaps, and poor folks often can’t afford to get ill or injured.

      Sometimes bad oligarchs get executed (we don’t get told how many folks get executed a year), but only after massive outcry and government assisted cover ups fail.

      Better for the poorest than the US seems a pretty low bar. Better for the globe as a whole though, so that helps too
