    I'd bet you would be hard pressed to find the zombie apocalypses that are Philadelphia, Portland & Eugene in most Asian countries.

    The video is propaganda.
    Here's the same girl again: She's an influencer.

    "In this video, I will share with you the cost of living in Guangzhou, China. The cost I showed in the video only reflect my own observation and it does not reflect the true living standard of people in Guangzhou."

    Influencer doesn't mean propagandist. Just because you see the nice China doesn't mean the bad China doesn't exist. Due to widespread corruption, it's hard to trust any numbers coming out of China anyway.

    If she's a Chinese propagandist that kind of goes against your point because it looks pretty bad for China the data that she shows.
     
    Numb Thanks this.

    Here's a good example; friend of mine works in the post office in China. She's lived in her condo for a couple of decades. The government wants her condo complex in order to demolish and build modern new condos.
    She was asked, "Do you want cash for your condo or 6 of the new condos. She chose 6 of the new condos. She chose 6 of the new condos vs the cash. In USD the condos are each worth about $140,000.00 pre-construction costs. Once completed they'll be worth a lot more; doesn't matter though because she got them free.

    I know of several cases like this one.

    There's widespread corruption in most countries.

    You mean like eminent domain and most Western countries? They all get paid market value. I hope evergrand isn't involved here. Aren't they collapsing?
    Not like China. They're on another level and in the past it caused the deaths of millions of people due to misreporting of grain stores.
    Great Chinese Famine - Wikipedia look under illusion of superabundance.

    Things haven't changed all that much.

    Evergrande is being liquidated.

    The famine you referenced happened in the late 1950's/early 1960's.

    I'm just putting forth evidence that things just aren't going right. I mentioned the famine because they didn't learn anything from it. You still get regional officials reporting BS numbers to make themselves look good, or maybe to keep from getting black bagged.
