    I’m not surprised, due to the combination of how Chinese lives have improved and how American lives haven’t.

      it’s funny that americans got life improvements because the american gov’t was worried that the chinese success with mortality, birth, literacy, and housing rates increased so dramatically and now the american gov’t doesn’t care anymore.

        It was more Soviet than Chinese, but I agree with the sentiment.

      Not anymore. They all starved to death. If only someone had shared their vegetables!

      Parents of the future will have to change it to “don’t you know children are starving in Gaza?” And undoubtedly lots of other places too 🙁.
