>>590239Implying Gini coefficient stats on China are accurate.
In the US the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 90% combined, we have huge numbers of homeless or near-homeless people, China has almost no homeless despite having quadruple our population, and for what it's worth a lower total GDP.
Chinese government literally went to every single household and gave them money until they weren't in poverty anymore just so they could say they "eliminated poverty". Housing costs Chinese people $100-$300 USD a month or even less
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HukouIt's based on this "hukou" system though, so you only get the subsidized/free housing in your own hukou (birth/family) region, meaning people still move to Beijing and live in a closet for $500 but they don't have to.
Poverty in the US is far worse overall than in China, the amount of poverty, financial struggle, and extremely low social mobility in the supposedly richest country on Earth is just insane. The pathway to high paying jobs in the US is blocked by 5 or 6 figure $, but in China the pathway of college/training is completely free.
