Number massaging bs. From the article 'China's average wealth, however, was still less than a third of the wealth of the median American ($93,271) — and only about 10% of the wealth of the median Belgian ($256,336).' Median wealth / Average wealth , what about actual wealth ?/. all they have done is divide the total by the number of people not what people actually have. Plus they note Global wealth increased 9.8% during covid. WTF, oh you mean Big corporations getting govt (bail) hand outs ??. Pure bull shittery.

They probably count all the company bonds that the workers own that are in reality totally worthless.

Yeah right.

The "typical" Chinese person lives in a tin shack on the side of a hill in rural China, or lives in a dirty fire-trap apartment building that may fall down and kill hundreds of occupants next week. Neither can afford most food staples and sometimes go 36h without eating.

China is wealthy.

No. This is the same as the IQ lie.
