People in China enjoy genuine human rights, like right to housing, education, and healthcare. 90% of families in the country own their home giving China one of the highest home ownership rates in the world. What’s more is that 80% of these homes are owned outright, without mortgages or any other leans. forbes.com/sites/wadeshepard/2…
The real (inflation-adjusted) incomes of the poorest half of the Chinese population increased by more than four hundred percent from 1978 to 2015, while real incomes of the poorest half of the US population actually declined during the same time period. nber.org/system/files/working_…

From 1978 to 2000, the number of people in China living on under $1/day fell by 300 million, reversing a global trend of rising poverty that had lasted half a century (i.e. if China were excluded, the world’s total poverty population would have risen) semanticscholar.org/paper/Chin…
In fact, people in China enjoy high levels of social mobility in general nytimes.com/interactive/2018/1…
Student debt in China is virtually non-existent because education is not run for profit. forbes.com/sites/jlim/2016/08/…
China massively invests in public infrastructure. They used more concrete in 3 years than US in all of 20th century forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy…
China also built 27,000km of high speed rail in a decade railjournal.com/passenger/high…
All these things translate into tangible freedoms allowing people to live their lives to the fullest. Freedom can be seen as the measure of personal agency an individual enjoys within the framework of society. A good measure of whether people genuinely feel free is to look at what people of the country have to say on the subject. Even as mainstream western media openly admits, people in China overwhelmingly see their system as being democratic, and the government enjoys broad public trust and support.
China is more democratic than America, say the people

Seeing all those nuclear fanboy comments whenever solar was mentioned from 2010 to 2025 was tiring.
Onto the natgas fanboys.
I'm looking at you Alex Christoforou.

in reply to PowerCrazy • • •No. Not baseline. Standby capacity for when it's cloudy, still, dry and all battery capacity has been used up.
Maybe we only need natural gas for, say, 10 hours per year, but in those hours we really need it

in reply to Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In • • •but natgas fanboys will still claim that solar power "doesn't work" and "can't ever replace natgas".
