    I have my qualms about China but I gotta admit they really used economies of scale and long term planning well.

        The Chinese rank 60th in happiness, which is ahead of Greece, Russia, Turkey, India and other market economies.

        There are other ways to care for your population than making them compete for basic necessities. It’s unfair to judge by your own lens.

        But then again, this is probably much too much nuance for this thread.

          Chinese people do compete for basic necessities though; stores aren’t passing out goods for free and rent/mortgages are very real.

          Is there something you are familiar with that they don’t have to pay for? I suppose health care and public education, but that’s not particularly unique to China.
