Because China is a shithole and America is the land of opportunity. The smart ones hate the government.
Fascists malding hard that a leftist nation is successful and beating them at everything
Successful? Where? How's that housing market, bud? Healthcare? Child mortality rate? Freedom of expression? When was the last time China contributed to the arts, music? If you measure success in the amount of coal you can burn in a week, sure, success. In the mean time, try not to choke.
Based on the most up to date information I could find, infant mortality in China is 5.47 per 1000 compared to 5.44 in the US. Comparing the countries by wealth per capita, I don't see how you could possibly think this is a dunk, though obviously Cuba is much better than both.

I should mention that the distortion in US data is true, but the vast majority of infant deaths take place in the weeks after birth, so it's a much smaller distortion than it appears on paper. I have not yet found what China's window is.
I found 8.397/1000 and I'm sure that doesn't include uyghurs and any poor people the party doesn't decide to count. My country(not the US) is less than 4 so this isn't a flex.
By the way, this study uses the US definition, so you can use that for comparisons:

Didn't quite catch that
China is not leftist. China is a fascist dictatorship. Bout communist. Hahahahaha
You actually believe the US is the land of opportunity?
Nobody's asking you to move to America.
Thank christ, I'd consider that an actual attempt at harming me
You know, it's not entirely your fault you're such an idealist. You're wrong and you're very funny because of it, but it's not all your fault
Are you all party members in here or is there an actual Chinese person among you? Because all I can see are a bunch of loyalists.
