I used to be a total supporter of the Dalai Lama. I mean, great philosophy. Great clothes. Great ritual. Great sand paintings. And so on.
But then I starting thinking about what life would have been like in Tibet, under the Buddhist theocracy. Maybe benign enough, but not so much freedom for the serfs.
Right or wrong do exist, I also think Xi is an a-hole. But people ignore issues that are "inconvenient" for them and their allies is what drives me crazy. I would prefer people put their own oxygen masks on before helping others.
For the southern parts of China, I would say almost all the countrymen have access to tap water. For the northwestern parts, it is still pretty bad, a lot of them still rely on rivers/wells, although I don't have numbers. As for how clean the water is, that is something I have no idea about, and I am not optimistic.
Edit: grammar.
