> I went to 3 different cities and saw whatever I wanted.
And there's the problem, of course they don't tell you were you can or can't go. You just don't have any reason to go outside the orchestrated tourist areas, I assume these three cities were also some of their top tier cities, Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzen right? It's exactly like going to Kensington avenue only and then judge all of America by that single street. This goes two ways.
While I saw a lot I obviously didn't see everything either. Not nearly enough to judge the whole country, that's why I use statistics which clearly proves that China is a shithole country, not a warzone, unless you count the lost generation as warriors because they does look a bit like a swarm of grasshoppers.
> No argument there, everyone knows being a factory worker in china is hell.
For a country with as much manufacturing as China has, it's not unreasonable to assume that a majority of Chinas population are in fact factory workers. Combine that with cost of living data and you'll have all the proof you need about why the country is a shithole country. Their problems are just different from the problems we have in the west, I assume they don't have as much problems with niggers or radical islamism over there, but who really knows, it's the land of censorship after all. Thank God for my good fren who escaped China and taught me how to bypass their firewall. Just using VPN or TOR is not enough.

I go see a couple tourist things and then start walking, driving, or exploring in a random direction to see what the country is really like. I never said it's heaven on earth, but it really isn't as bad as everyone thinks it is. People would be surprised if they went to China, you only see the worst of the worst in videos on the web.

Actually Shanxi, Chengdu, Lijiang, and I flew into Beijing for a couple days so that doesn't count. I was in China for an entire month.

Bullshit dude, I went to three entire cities, not a single street. How do you even compare the two? Don't try to imply that entire cities are just "orchestrated tourist areas".

Nobody is saying being a factory worker in China is a good thing, and yes they have a large population of workers who have rather crap living conditions.. Nobody is denying that. But if you are middle class in China, the life they can have is not as bad as you might think, and as a society they are trending upwards. There was a lot of things that I saw them doing much much much better than anywhere in the US or Europe. For example: Customer service.
