Unlike India tho, China isn't burdened by American Imperialism and suffering from extreme economic poverty.

I think it's hard to get a good read on China's actual economic situation from the outside. Which, in itself, speaks to larger issues as we would understand them in the West.

There are plenty information about China on the outside, but nobody is paying anyone to push those into your feeds. It doesn't benefit any US entities to paint China in good light, and China largely doesn't market itself to the wider world (maybe to their detriment).

Hilarious

China ranks 178 out of 180 in press freedom. How are you then getting plenty of information that is accurate?

If you have sources I would be curious, even the Chinese language ones I've found have seemed, lacking, for want of a better word.
