It's comparatively much easier to raise life expectancy from 32 to 68 than from 68 to some higher number since life expectancy calculations of the ~30 neighborhood typically include infant mortality
That is a bold faced lie.
The life expectancy of China is 75.
And it had constantly increased since Deng to get there.
Well, 76 rounded
Also I very, very annoyed a Fascist is debating on my side.
Well cuba still has more
and cuba is poorer
and not capitalist pigs
no guesanos in cuba
I'm not really debating, just representing facts. Life expectancy statistics that include infant mortality irk me
Cuba is completely different from China.
Yes
its alot better
and not filled with corruption
and capitalism
Cuba has one of the best medical systems in the world.
China has an average to below average one because of mistakes made in it.
China is also systematically destroying corruption because ***they*** would be the first to tell you *their system has problems*.
Cuba also has a fucking huge amount of doctors.
In proportion to their population.
In fact, Cuba's medical system puts a third world nation under the same diseases and problems of a first world nation.
They have been modifying their system to accompany this fact.
It is a pretty popular saying that a Cuban lives as a poor man and dies as a rich man.
Compare that to China who is still trying to fix their butchered system.
And, even with a butchered system, their life expectancy has been improving constantly.
Trump's problems with China will not end anytime soon for you Trumpers. 2020 is almost the same year China plans to destroy poverty.
Even then, China would have not reached its full potential. 😉
That's a lot of poverty to destroy in two years
China is an ambitious country that does for its people what it says.
The polar opposite of the west.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Sinophobe, but there's a line between ambition and unfounded hopefulness
That is the goal of the current 5 year plan, eliminate what is left of China's poverty.
10 million out of poverty every year from 2016 to 2020.
That is the plan.
And even the private corporations have joined to help aid this goal surprisingly.
Well, mostly just Alibaba.
Not too surprising really even from a cynical perspective - rural poor dont make for great consumers
China is a Dictatorship of the Proletariat and the CPC builds its legitimacy on lifting people out of poverty and advancing to the next stage of Socialism.
