america jails more people per capita than russia or china currently.

Russia and China are ruled by dictators who aren’t interested in reporting numbers that would cast their countries in a negative light. People who believe their self-reporting of stuff like COVID cases and prisoner counts are hilarious.

You keep saying China is doing great but they aren't.

theyre growing 2x as fast as usa, real wages rising fast, will be world superpower in 10 years i guess.

Well, well, well.

How Bad Is China’s Economy? The Data Needed to Answer Is Vanishing​

5/4/2025

"Not long ago, anyone could comb through a wide range of official data from China. Then it started to disappear.

Land sales measures, foreign investment data and unemployment indicators have gone dark in recent years. Data on cremations and a business confidence index have been cut off. Even official soy sauce production reports are gone.

In all, Chinese officials have stopped publishing hundreds of data points once used by researchers and investors, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis.

In most cases, Chinese authorities haven’t given any reason for ending or withholding data. But the missing numbers have come as the world’s second biggest economy has stumbled under the weight of excessive debt, a crumbling real-estate market and other troubles—spurring heavy-handed efforts by authorities to control the narrative."
