Let's use China as an example.

As a general rule, let's not. Their government is a mess of conflicting elements and as such, it's not a good example of anything

And I'm pretty sure you're using the statistics that says you're not poor if your income is above $1.50/day, which is as low a bar as calling someone a model of honesty for lying less than Donald Trump ๐Ÿ™„
