Sure, China is better than Haiti and Sudan. Throw in North Korea also.I mean, there are still those places called Africa, Jamaica, Haiti etc.
I would rather live in China than in Sudan for instance ...
You should check out their "hukou"/place of residency system, basically creates slave class thanks to which all those sparkling lights are possible. Unofficial caste system in a wayWow, China has a sparkly show! Great!
They can put on a light show, so being a communist, terrorist state that puts its own people in prison camps for their religious beliefs or not showing enough loyalty to the Supreme leader is now ok. They produce neat iphones & fireworks!
