the CPC has lifted most of their population from poverty and turned an ancient empire of peasants into a futuristic superpower
just seeing the hope the people there have for the future and the drive to bring it to reality is almost alien to the western world
meanwhile the U.S. is basically returning it’s population to peasantry. no future, only RETVRN to feudalism.
quavering, superstitious people with no hope and only knowing they must please their masters to continue to eat
Helps that they simplified their language. We need to do that for English, there’s so many inconsistencies.
simplified Chinese is still 20x harder than modern English
and then most Chinese people are some variant of multilingual, while most Americans speak only English
as usual a massive L for the west masquerades as a medium one
Eh. English is already one of the simplest languages in the world. Sure the spelling is wack, but good luck trying to push for a phonetic spelling reform…
Radio Free Asia attempted to debunk this specific infographic last year. I suspect they’re probably right that comparing these two tests is comparing apples to oranges. Are Americans more illiterate than they were 70 years ago?
Why are you using rfa as a source?
People here have media literacy and can draw their own conclusions.
I haven’t done the research, but I wouldn’t be surprised if all three of these are true:
- Literacy in China is higher than in the US.
- US literacy is falling while Chinese literacy is rising.
- The two literacy studies that were compared in this infographic are not really comparable.
