IDK their public transit and high speed trains seem pretty good. And they seem to actually be building high density, walkable housing (and it must be relatively affordable if some people can afford 2 or 3 places to live).
Seems to have been mostly projection. America is the one with the “social credit score” that is used to judge people’s worth before most important transactions.
Umm not sure if you have been to China or actually know people from there, but no, public transportation isn’t good everywhere (especially in rural regions), and housing absolutely isn’t affordable, typically you need an entire families worth of income that goes to the son to afford a home, and on top of that, when you buy a home in China, you are given 70 year lease on the land, so not sure how many Americans would want that sort of thing. Great thinking of how things are far worse in other countries though.

Weird how despite all that, the home ownership rate in China is 96%
What part of any of that am I supposed to be scandalized by, exactly? Because I read the whole article and I didn’t see a single reason I shouldn’t be touting the 96% home ownership rate.

What ever happened to that Social Credit score

Maybe read up a little more on that before touting that 90% number. Not exactly sure you’ll enjoy those results: https://www.forbes.com/sites/wadeshepard/2016/03/30/how-people-in-china-afford-their-outrageously-expensive-homes/
