Dude, tbh this just shows how skewed stats can be.
Thats still a huge difference. Never been to the usa but I was once in Beijing and it felt like a developed city
People who have never been to China talk about it being decades ahead of the US, and it’s honestly hilarious.
Yes, certain big cities like Shanghai, Beijing, and Shenzhen are incredibly modern, but you realize how much work needs to be done as soon as you leave those city centers. Much of it feels akin to places I’ve been in East Africa.
i mean hdi kinda sucks, it’s too simplistic.
also most regions are marked as 0,75 (which is high) or 0,8 (which is high).
so the data doesn’t say much.
also, inner mongolia being high in development is strange. that place looks like a hellhole.
Having lived a minimum of 8 years in both, I can say this data is reflected pretty well in real life. The dark blue cities of China truly are world class. Very modern, great public transportation, access to good hospitals, etc. the light blue provinces all have a major city that is keeping the rest of the province from being yellow or worse. Train rides 30 minutes away from city centers reveal what I could only describe as “mud farming.” Hell, even in some centrally located Beijing hutongs there are crumbling structures with tarpaulins for roofs and people are living in them. In many ways Chinas major cities surpass American cities in development, but the rural areas are like the worst of Detroit and West Virginia rolled into one. Alright wumaos, bring on the downvotes
What’s the HDI on the Uyghur camps?
Maybe GDP per capita isn’t the most informative metric, but China’s GDP per person is only about one-sixth of that of the United States. So, the U.S. is certainly a leading country in the world.
Even in the lightest blue States there would be incredibly High HDI in the cities and towns, where 90 plus percent of the people live.
