The Devil's Advocate
Call me Dad
No I'm engaging in living a privileged American life and wouldn't trade my passport for Chinese citizenship... Neither would anyone in this threadNot sure if you're aware of this, but there's a correlation between shorter lives and shyttier lives. Which is why wealthy countries like Singapore, Monaco, and Japan have the longest life expectancy compared to say countries with short life expectancies like South Sudan or Chad.
I think you're just engaging in "cope" because Chinese citizens live longer than Americans because they have better access to healthcare, more nutritious food, and take better care of their bodies.
I'm a world traveler. Most of China's billion inhabitants dream of living here.. Not the other way around
Have you been to China or talked to people living there?
