You say all this but I personally know people living in China and they as normal civilians aren't doing so great the us has supposedly also had a massive boom in purchasing power these last few years and yet people living there don't seem to feel it there's a large focus on numbers which to an extent mean something (China has had an economic boom) but the peoples experiences are vastly different and for example China has a large problem with ghost companies so ~(^=^)/~

I also personally know people living in China, and I've never heard from anyone about the kinds of horrors I see in Canada and read about it in US on daily basis.

Nah, I'm not forgetting delusional westoid fantasies about a fictional genocide. I flat out ignore them because they've been discredited many times. Meanwhile, media censorship exists everywhere, including the west. The idea that westerners think they got the level of censorship fundamentally right while everyone else got it wrong just shows what utter chauvinists westerners are.
