Yeah, but how is the quality of life for the average person in the PRC? Honest question, because I don't know. I'm American they would have us believe that the average Chinese citizen is living one step of from a factory slave.

Varies dramatically depending on where you live, because China is an extremely rapidly developing country that was as poor as Haiti is today 100 years ago. Quality of life overall is good, and rising rapidly.

I know this doesn't say actual statistics and stats, but watching videos that actually show China can help de-mystify it.
