Hello Woko Haram,



Not for people who agree it was the right thing to do.

And for the rest, nothing can be said which will change their minds.

There are a lot of people in the middle that tend to buy the politically correct arguments. Granted, there are many who don't.

The Chinese Government gives almost nothing in consumer loans. It is an alien concept to them. Most government loans are to massive industries.

The average Chinese person is significantly richer than the average Indian. On paper Indians have more freedom, but poverty robs them of much of their freedom. India also has a huge amount of corruption. China has more corruption than we would be used to, but India is an entirely different league. That corruption infringes on freedom too.

Good points but subjective.....

Especially since they don't have stats & docs showing the details lol

I dunno the level of corruption in India above the petty local/regional levels~typical of what you would find in China or most places..

In China & outside most consider the CCP the biggest mafia type org in the world..

Much of the corruption is done w/ insider info & ran by huge families/family ties, much as it always has there.....

This corruption/skimming etc is in the BILLIONS....... So IMHO dollar for dollar corruption=theft is extremely high in China, & higher up you go in the food chain, the higher the levels of corruption....

I'm not defending/excoriating. I am speaking of history
