A Xiaomi phone might’ve shipped with a censorship list in Europe

Don’t take the ”highest GDP” statement at face value. It’s not only a lie (the US still has the highest GDP), GDP also doesn’t account for economic imbalances. Much of the Chinese population are living in poverty.

Chinese shills will claim that poverty has been eliminated, but that’s only true if you lower the poverty line. You could set the poverty line to 10 USD/year if you wanted to and by doing so “solve poverty”.

There is much room for misinformation and lies when it comes to these issues. One has to stay vigilant.

To be fair the GDP per capita in-balance in the US is also horrible from a western standpoint.

This doesn’t take away from the fact that he was outright lying when he said China that has the highest GDP.
