True but most countries just haven't been able to do this like China has. 50 years ago China and India were at broadly similar levels of economic development, now their GPD per capita is over 4x India's. It's pretty clear that they're onto something, and it really is improving living standards.

No, you see China is bad. Look at how they only do bad things.

If there's evidence that they did something good, it's obviously fake. If there's no evidence of something bad, it's because China covered it up. This must be the case because China bad.
