I thought they at least had universal healthcare...

    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.

    It says this is in cities only. That seems to neglect rural areas, no?

    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 ???

    Learn to read JFC

    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....
