That's a fairly complex topic. The big take away is that the Chinese government isn't exactly loved by a lot of people.
It’s a joke. Look at the username.
Edit: saw the reply, doesn’t look like a joke now
It's fine if you don't know history.
lol bro do not start with that shit on a 5d account and a clearly biased comment history.
A clearly non-brainwashed post history against China? Yeah. Your post liberal comments when you aren’t being a jerk. Maybe try not to be too braindead
A lot of westerners, sure. The vast majority of Chinese would disagree since they’re 1-2 generations away from poverty. Depending on the city most grandparents have zero education, parent may have gone to middle school, then current gen has shot for the stars. Chinese government can be unfair, but no one can argue they didn’t make everyone’s lives materially better

I think you need to look up the word material.
Yes, the Uyghurs currently being genocided are certainly materially better off.
