Inspired by the recent c/AskLemmy question about Myanmar.


As a PRC-born ethnic Han-Chinese person who currently is a US Citizen and reside in the US, I’m curious on what people think of my former country.

    Congratulations, you’ve discovered sarcasm. (see what I did here?)
    China has lifted 800mln out of poverty. 3,3% under the poverty line (for now). The US banana republic has11.1%.
    China is the nr 1 in homeownership in theworld BTW at 96% And not even beginning about the junkie comparison.

    Your post history just shows your Sinophobia in another comment under this posts and then I have to scroll back to see your ‘expertise’ comes from…second hand stories from a 2 week trip your wife took once.
    And that expleinss she’s butthurt bcs they don’t have a groteskly obese population like the US and they ridiculed her for it.
    I guess it’s a more original reason for badmouthing them than the normal envy the US has for losing hard to them economically.
    So LOL, cope

      Thank you for teaching me sarcasm, I am in your debt. I’m also not an expert, and she’s not obese since she’s a personal trainer. You also forgot that she had a friend who also lived in the city she visited, for years might I add. It’s not just her experience. I also don’t think anyone was putting into question how fucked up the US is, because it most definitely is. The OP was asking a specific question and I answered it.
