Re:China Overtakes U.S. For First Time as Top Spender on R&D... by seanmcdirmid on Monday October 12, 2026 @11:51PM (#50066428)
If you work in China, you get their universal healthcare but you still need a private insurance policy. It’s hard to explain though, you wouldn’t be completely up sh*t creek without a private policy, but some things become really inconvenient, and the standard of care is different (bring your own nurse in the public plan).

China sort has welfare but the hukou system means most people who need it don't qualify in the city they live in.
