Greetings from Hanoi. China kills Vietnamese and Philippine fisherman and other mariners each year using their paramilitary shadow fleet. China is also a big place and the difference between non-rich in a developed province and non-rich in the rural provinces is extreme. In the last decade, the size of the middle class in places like Shanghai has shrunk dramatically and was arguably never even on par with similar level workers in the USA.
I appreciate the perspective. I knew the Chinese government was not allied with Vietnam but I didn’t know about the killings. And your point about the difference between non-rich in rural areas vs urban areas is true in the US as well. In fact, there was a UN delegation that reported finding some of the most extreme poverty in the world in places like rural West Virginia.
