You’re leaving out that they import a lot of produce and non-meat foods.

That is indeed the kind of thing one could make inferences from.
Still better than the guy trying to push his crypto scam at Ohio State’s ceremony this year.
Would you rather the Chinese be allowed to have their way with the entirety of the Asia-Pacific region? Based on what we’ve seen in Hong Kong I don’t think that’s a good idea.
Porque no los dos?
Oh there is absolutely poverty. I’m specifically referencing what the commenter above me was discussing, which is a trend on social media of finding a bad area of town, taking pictures from 40 different angles, and presenting it as though American cities are nothing but miles upon miles of tent encampments and despair. I will admit I have only ever lived in the rust belt, so it may very well be like that in other places, but in general you see one or two small areas of extreme poverty mixed with working class, a few rough-ish neighborhoods adjacent to those, and the rest is pretty quiet, if not always the most affluent. By your description, it sounds like Chinese law enforcement keeps closer tabs on people through mass surveillance rather than active patrolling. Personally I’d rather have more crime and fewer government CCTVs, but to each their own.
Propaganda. Every city has one or two neighborhoods (usually full of working class minorities) where police dump the homeless and addicts from everywhere else. Each of those areas has one or two particularly bad streets that look like shit and make for great fear mongering.
Don’t be naive. What’s happening now is the result of a pattern in human behavior which has played out countless times before. It may be cathartic to throw your arms up and say “nothing matters and everything is a lie, burn it all” but that’s not productive and it will allow the greater of many evils to win.
That’s your own post that you made at the same time you made this comment. You wouldn’t be shilling now, would you?
Such as?
Oh that’s Ohkay, yoo know we all have days like thiat

A lot of it isn’t actually money. The US keeps a massive stockpile of weapons and equipment in storage in Isreal. The government hands over the keys to a few trucks and some parts, then writes it off as $X value in military hardware.
I used to be a night owl, then I had a job that required me to get up at 5:30. It sucked for 2 weeks and now I’m a morning person.
It came to me in a dream
Still here, we just stopped talking to you because you’re an asshole.
I mean, what could the rest of the world reasonably do aside from starting a world war over it? Sanctions might punish the Chinese economy, but they won’t un-occupy HK.
