You got it backwards my friend, horrific living standards were the result of Western subjugation and continued to rise steadily after the revolution https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25495509

This India? https://www.sciencedirect.com/org/science/article/abs/pii/S1...

One has to have utter lack of intellectual integrity to pretend that there is any comparison in standards between China and India.

That is sooooo close to my point but you missed it. High house ownership is not a sign of economic development, quite the opposite.

You think infant mortality and inflation adjusted incomes are the same number?

That is completely out of touch with reality. Infant mortality fell EVERYWHERE in that period which flatters the numbers.

Now provide the actual number I asked for for the period I asked for. It debunks your argument?

I didn't say high house ownership was the single metric. That's just a straw man you're using lacking even a shred of intellectual integrity. In fact, I posted a whole bunch of sources showing how people in China have high income savings, and a standard of living that now surpasses Europe.

I think that you're an artless troll, and it's frankly pathetic that you think you've debunked something here.

But you keep on doing you, if the clown shoes fit might as well embrace the act.
