    For the rich.

    China (and India) like 70% of it is poverty stricken pre industrial living. No running water, no electricity, no sewage systems.

    They have a free “doctor” who may be hours away and have the training/equipment equivalent of early 1900’s doctors elsewhere.

          sure, but the urban population of china is close to 65%.

          so if 100% of the rural population have zero access to water and electricity (which would be fucking insane to assert), then thats 35% of the total population, literally half of the figure op stated in his comment. and this is giving them the biggest benefit of the doubt possible.

          all in all, i retain my point of them being a fuckhead.

        Did you miss the word CITY ???

        Both countries regularly exclude and ignore the rural populations.

        Or even just watch a documentary, for example when they show shots ,it is very easy to tell most of the rural towns have no electricity, running water, or in most cases front doors/glass windows…
