Sorry, what? Bottom of America can't afford (actual) education nor nutrition nor healthcare nor housing. And upward mobility? What an outdated concept. This is unprecedented for "developed" countries that aren't wartorn.
Please tell me you did not just travel to a tier-1 city like Beijing or Shanghai, and extrapolated what you saw in the CBD to all of China. There is a reason that they're still desperately clinging to zero-COVID policies when the rest of the world has moved on, against seemingly all common sense.
