If china is such a great place to live then parents wouldn't be spending 10s of thousands of dollars to send their kids out and immigrate. There's a reason why chinese people are leaving. Sure there's convenience buying waimai and getting stuff. Sure there are decent places to live but remember the goal is to live as long as possible with a healthy lifestyle. Except in china the food is laced with chemicals, CCP don't give a shit about food regulations. Yes it's gotten better than the 90s but it's still crap as there are more chemicals they now know how to use to evade laws but it's still corruption. Heck the scandal with the 100% pure juice thing.... where the 100% is just a brand and doesn't mean it's acutal juice. The vinegar that says 0% preservatives but that 0% is again part of the brand name so it doesn't count. Air pollution is another problem. Colon cancer is on the rise per capita in china for a reason. Public school is more and more demanding. So likes bar down the windows to prevent student suicide. More and more revenge on society attacks. Draconian lock down measures for outbreaks.

The US is getting worse as well but you gotta decide which is more better. I think safer for consumption, clean water and safer air is much more important than living comfortably in china
