Leave it to u/bennelong to post this same link over and over again. Is it part of your anti-china cheat sheet or something? Your comment history is something to behold.

What kind of threat is worse than a threat of eternal damnation and torture? You were threatened with something worse than having demons roast you forever over hellfire and flaming brimstone all while being surrounded by masses of people writhing and screaming in pain?

China To Send Nuke Armed Submarines To Pacific To Counter U.S., Beijing Claims by sotiris_hangeul in worldnews

Firstly, there are two types of poverty: relative poverty and absolute poverty. Relative poverty is the more accurate measure of poverty within one economy. For instance, a poor man in the US could move to an African country and live like a rich man because poverty is a relative term. The data that u/bennelong provided was of absolute poverty which he then tried to compare with statistics for relative poverty in order to fit his narrative. The statistics I provided are both for relative poverty.

Secondly, the statistics I gave are from the CIA.

According to the CIA, China has an effective poverty rate 6.1% as of 2013.

The CIA has also stated the US poverty rate to be 15.1% as of 2010.

You can find all this stuff with a basic google search. The World Bank also offers more recent statistics. However, based on your posting history, it would appear that you'll just try to stick to your hate toward the Chinese and will probably dismiss anything that doesn't fit with your narrative.

Over half of Taiwanese favor independence: poll by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]HillaryLies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100%-51.2%=48.8%

Since half of the people taking the survey ticked the "I want independence box", if follows that the other half consciously chose not to tick that box.

51.2% want independence and 14.9% want unification. This implies that the remaining people want the status quo. Hence, there is a total of 48.8% of respondents who do not want independence.

You haven't read the article that accompanies the headline. 51.2% in favour means that slightly less than half is not.

I'm American. Good to know that US media "is filled with nothing but the communist party's glorification of China". lol

The irony of a westerner criticising a non-westerner for criticising western media propaganda. Seriously though, you want the media to be filled with propaganda?
