In 2010 the median wage was 36k yuan, in 2020 it's 98k yuan. Whilst the yuan\dollar exchange rate has hardly moved at all going from 6.6 yuan/$ to 6.53 yuan/$, and this is under a communist government, where most companies are owned by the government and the wages are set by the government.
How would you feel about your government if they had tripled your wages in 10 years, and without causing inflation. Fwiw median wages have gone from $60k to $65k in this same time period, whilst the CPI cost of living index has skyrocketed from 216 to 260, severely outpacing wage increases, in comparison China's CPI has increased on average just 2% a year, massively lower than their wage increases.
Oh, and whilst we're on the subject of slavery, should I mention that the USA still has legalised slavery (alongside just Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan), whilst china most definitely does not.
>>3970709>We have democracyLol, no you don't, the USA is literally considered to have a "flawed democracy" by the democracy index.
>>3970711You mean like the USA does?
>>3970726I'd always choose to buy a product made in china over one from the USA, I don't think I own any American made products.

>>3970804A patent and IP system aren't inherently better for humanity, if you could make a similar product to someone else, but better, or cheaper, or both, why shouldn't you?
And it's not ip theft if ip doesn't exist, your holding communists ransom for the most debilitating of capitalist practices; that's pretty dumb.
