What is the WELFARE STATE like in the socialist CHINA of XI JINPING? - VisualPolitik EN

[@ZZ-qu7bq]

As a Chinese, I can confirm this is fairly accurate, but you still missed a few important parts: 1. About 80% of hospitals in China are government owned, they receive fund directly from government and they are not profit driven. So although people pay for health insurance and insurance only covers 60% - 80% of the cost depends on your situation, in general insurance and medical bills are still much cheaper than the west world. 2. The policy about Hukou which prevents equal benefit for migrate workers is not designed to screw them, it is meant to prevent too many people in the rural area from moving into the city, because most of the large cities are already over-crowded. You can call it discrimination, but cities simply don't have enough capacity to provide good public services for the huge population if they don't apply these rules. 3. Despite there are still a lack of regulations and oversight, most Chinese are happy about the current welfare services provided by the government. It may not be as good as the ones in Europe, but definitely better than America for regular people 4. Policies in China are known for evolving quickly, the authoritarian government is more efficient in making changes, so it might be very different from what you see today in 5 years.

If you allowed 800 million migrants to suddenly all move to urban centers, it would overwhelm all public services: road congestions, hospitals, schools, housing, etc. Therefore, only those who seek work and find legal work will be provided with welfare services of that city/county/province. In addition, many of the migrant workers who do find employment and make enough money to buy housing or marry a local of that province can change their hukou locations, ensuring benefits for his/her family/kids so it's not nearly as restrictive as this video makes it out to be. As a Canadian that worked in China for over a decade, I think China's system is, as you said, closer to America than it is to Canada or Europe.

The reason poverty has been “eliminated” in China is because their poverty line is so low at a few USD a day, it’s like saying that someone who got 30% in and exam didn’t fail by lowering the bar of passing to 10%.

As someone who lived in Beijing, China from 2016-2019, I can tell you that no government has more money than the Chinese government, and no country has more millionaires than China. That said, the manicured image the CCP government always portrays of China, cannot be further from the more widespread reality. It’s easy for us to focus on 150 million millionaires and forget the 1.2 billion who are not, especially when the media consistently ignores the latter. But poverty reeks in China. A medical doctor’s starting salary is $400 a month, as is a civil engineer’s. Granted, employers are required to house their employees, but very often you’ll see four to six grown men sharing a single room sleeping on bank beds in a dingy apartment that could pass for a prison in Panama.

For example during COVID outbreaks, China did not provide social assistance to its population, and many people were laid off (got this from my mom who is in China). However, the treatment for COVID in China is arguably much much cheaper than that of any other developing or developed nations so it kind of balances itself out, except as you mentioned for the poorest of the poors.

Racial profiling is a massive part of the US society. Not so much in China though. The Chinese identify themselves as Chinese, regardless of Han or non-Han.

I b0rrowed this from a Malaysian Y0uTuber’s c0mment: I’m from Malaysia. CHlNA has traded with Malaysia for 2000 years. In those years, they had been the world’s biggest powers many times. Never once they sent troops to take our l4nd. Admiral Zhenghe came to Malacca five times, in gigantic fleets, and a flagship eight times the size of Christopher Columbus’ flagship, Santa Maria. He could have seized Malacca easily, but he did not. In 1511, the Portuguese came. In 1642, the Dutch came. In the 18th century the British came. We were colonised by each, one after another. When CHlNA wanted spices from India, they traded with the Indians. When they wanted gems, they traded with the Persian. They didn’t take lands. The only time CHlNA expanded beyond their current borders was in Yuan Dynasty, when Genghis and his descendants Ogedei Khan, Guyuk Khan & Kublai Khan concurred CHlNA, Mid Asia and Eastern Europe. Yuan Dynasty, although being based in CHlNA, was a part of the Mongolian Empire. Then came the Century of Humiliation. Britain smuggled opium into CHlNA to dope the population, a strategy to turn the trade deficit around, after the British could not find enough silver to pay the Qing Dynasty in their tea and porcelain trades. After the opium warehouses were burned down and ports were closed by the Chinese in ordered to curb opium, the British started the Opium War I, which CHlNA lost. Hong Kong was forced to be surrendered to the British in a peace talk (Nanjing Treaty). The British owned 90% of the opium market in CHlNA, during that time, Queen Victoria was the world’s biggest drug baron. The remaining 10% was owned by American merchants from Boston. Many of Boston’s institutions were built with profit from opium. After 12 years of Nanjing Treaty, the West started getting really really greedy. The British wanted the Qing government: 1. To open the borders of CHlNA to allow goods coming in and out freely, and tax free. 2. Make opium legal in CHlNA. Insane requests, Qing government said no. The British and French (with supports from the US), started Opium War II with CHlNA, which again, CHlNA lost. The Anglo-French military raided the Summer Palace, and threatened to burn down the Imperial Palace, the Qing government was forced to pay with ports, free business zones, 300,000 kilograms of silver and Kowloon was taken. Since then, CHlNA’s resources flew out freely through these business zones and ports. In the subsequent amendment to the treaties, Chinese people were sold overseas to serve as labor. In 1900, CHlNA suffered attacks by the 8-National Alliance (Empire of Japan, Russian Empire, British Empire (including India), France, USA, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary). Innocent Chinese civilians in Peking (Beijing now) were murdered, buildings were destroyed & women were r4ped. The Imperial Palace was raided, and treasures ended up in museums like the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris. In late 1930s CHlNA was occupied by the Japanese in WWII. Millions of Chinese died during the occupancy. 300,000 Chinese died in Nanjing Massacre alone. Mao brought CHlNA together again from the shambles. There were peace and unity for some time. But Mao’s later reign saw sufferings and deaths from famine and power struggles. Then came Deng Xiao Ping and his infamous 'bl4ck-cat and wh1te-cat' story. His preference in pragmatism than ideologies has transformed CHlNA. This thinking allowed CHlNA to evolve all the time to adapt to the actual needs in the country, instead of rigidly bounded to ideologies. It also signified the death of Communism in actually practice in CHlNA. The current Socialism+Meritocracy+Market Economy model fits the Chinese like gloves, and it propels the uprise of CHlNA. Singapore has a similar model, and has been arguably more successful than Hong Kong, because Hong Kong being gateway to CHlNA, was riding on the economic boom in CHlNA, while Singapore had no one to gain from. In just 30 years, the CPC have moved 800 millions of people out from poverty. The rate of growth is unprecedented in human history. They have built the biggest mobile network, by far the biggest high speed rail network in the world, and they have become a behemoth in infrastructure. They made a fishing village called Shenzhen into the world’s second largest technological centre after the Silicon Valley. They are growing into a technological power house. It has the most elaborate e-commerce and cashless payment system in the world. They have launched exploration to Mars. The Chinese are living a go0d life and CHlNA has become one of the safest countries in the world. The level of patriotism in the country has reached an unprecedented height. For all of the achievements, the West has nothing g0od to say about it. CHlNA suffers from intense ant1-CHlNA pr0pagandas from the West. Western Media used the keyword “Communist” to instil fear and hatred towards CHlNA. Everything CHlNA does is negatively reported. They claimed CHlNA used slave labor in making iPhones. The truth was, Apple was the most profitable company in the world, it took most of the profit, leave some to Foxconn (a Taiwanese company) and little to the labor. They claimed CHlNA was inhuman with one-child policy. At the same time, they accused CHlNA of polluting the earth with its huge population. The fact is the Chinese consume just 30% of energy per capita compared to the US. They claimed CHlNA underwent ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang. The fact is CHlNA has a policy which priorities ethnic minorities. For a long time, the ethnic minorities were allowed to have two children and the majority Han only allowed one. The minorities are allowed a lower score for university intakes. There are 39,000 mosque in CHlNA, and 2100 in the US. CHlNA has about 3 times more mosque per musl1m than the US. When terrorist attacks happened in Xinjiang, CHlNA had two choices: 1. Re-educate the Uighur (CENS0RED by KZbin) before they turned (CENS0RED by KZbin). 2. Let them be, after they launch attacks and killed innocent people, bomb their homes. CHlNA chose 1 to solve problem from the root and not to do killing. How the US solve terrorism? Fire missiles from battleships, drop bombs from the sky. During the pandemic, When CHlNA took extreme measures to lockdown the people, they were accused of being inhuman. When CHlNA recovered swiftly because of the extreme measures, they were accused of lying about the actual numbers. When CHlNA’s cases became so low that they could provide medical support to other countries, they were accused of politically motivated. Western Media always have reasons to bash CHlNA. Just like any country, there are irresponsible individuals from CHlNA which do b4d things, but the CHlNA government overall has done very well. But I hear this comment over and over by people from the West: I like Chinese people, but the CPC is evil. What they really want is the Chinese to change the government, because the current one is too g0od. Fortunately CHlNA is not a multi-party democratic country, otherwise the opposition party in CHlNA will be supported by notorious NGOs (Non-Government Organization) of the USA, like the NED (National Endowment for Democracy), to topple the ruling party. The US and the British couldn’t crack Mainland CHlNA, so they work on Hong Kong. Of all the ex-British colonial countries, only the Hong Kongers were offered BNOs by the British. Because the UK would like the Hong Kongers to think they are British citizens, not Chinese. A divide-and-conquer strategy, which they often used in Color Revolutions around the world. They resort to low d*rty tricks like detaining Huawei’s CFO & banning Huawei. They raised a silly trade war which benefits no one. Trade deficit always exist between a developing and a developed country. USA is like a luxury car seller who ask a farmer: why am I always buying your vegetables and you haven’t bought any of my cars? When the Chinese were making socks for the world 30 years ago, the world let it be. But when Chinese started to make high technology products, like Huawei and DJI, it caused red-4lert. Because when Western and Japanese products are equal to Chinese in technologies, they could never match the Chinese in prices. First world countries want CHlNA to continue in making socks. Instead of stepping up themselves, they want to pull CHlNA down. The recent movement by the US against CHlNA has a very important background. When Libya, Iran, and CHlNA decided to ditch the US dollar in oil trades, Gaddafi’s was killed by the US, Iran was being sanctioned by the US, and now it’s CHlNA’s turn. The US has been printing money out of nothing. The only reason why the US Dollar is still widely accepted, is because it’s the only currency which oil is allowed to be traded with. The US has an agreement with Saudi that oil must be traded in US dollar ONLY. Without the petrol-dollar status, the US dollars will sink, and America will fall. Therefore anyone trying to disobey this order will be eliminated. CHlNA will soon use a gold-backed crypto-currency, the alarms in the White House go off like mad. CHlNA’s achievement has been by hard work. Not by looting the world. I have deep sympathy for CHlNA for all the suffering, but now I feel happy for them. CHlNA is not rising, they are going back to where they belong. G0od luck CHlNA. **(This message has been c3nsored on KZbin, I replaced some letters of the text with numbers to avoid the YT 4lgorithm)

There are today a few welfare things in China on paper but your chance of getting any of them is impossible unless you have high enough ranked family members or guanxi aka connections.

It's up to the family to keep the disabled person under control and a nurse calls you to ask if he took his meds or got it trouble and the police will come so that's why families of mentaliy disabled lock them inside their home all their lives, it's really sad. Social assistance like poverty alleviation does not exist anymore because the CCP had a goal of eliminate extrem poverty and if we go by world bank standard for extrem poverty then more then half of Chinese people still live in extrem poverty, people are still starving everyday in China. But China has it's own rules so they can say that anyone earning 5 cents a day is rich, i just had to point that out because China's poverty level is really low and even then there's a lot of people that can't make a dollar per day. And this matters because when Xi declared that extrem poverty does not exist anymore in China that means those poor people that already had a hard time getting benefits from social assistance can't get it anymore.

[@bebetozaza]

Not all True, Rural workers don't lose coverage for ALL eternety, as it is pointed in the video. They have to "buy in" the new welfare for urban cities. SO it's like beginning from o, like when many of us in the west who buys a private Healthcare Insurance for the first time or change Insurance companies. You don't begin with all the benefits from the previous, but with basics. A little bit of research and, well, honesty, is due welcomwe.

Why are you confusing socialism and communism?

[@errisoregan]

No the real question is why is he mixing up the welfare state with Socialism (which china is not) The welfare state arose as a reaction AGAINST the 'red tide' of the socialist movement in order to incentivise workers to NOT join that movement, that they're better off with their bourgeois ruling class that throws them down scraps they've made from their massive gains in imperialist conquest. Look up Bismark's 1st model of welfare state, followed by Nazi Germany....and finally later on adopted by the US with Kainsianism......but hey lets just leave all that out of the 'let's look at the history' section!

Yeah, my wife is Chinese born and bred. She has pointed out to me that the benefits system is completely chaotic.

And her niece lives in a different province and gets almost nothing. Crazy.

[@nikolatasev4948]

People in the US have a very distorted view of what Socialist is, given that one party screams Socialism every time anyone asks for better living conditions. China is neither Socialist nor Communist, even if it is still fully Authoritarian. Their safety nets, just as many other social structures, are modelled after the US... with two exceptions. Their healthcare is dirt cheap compared the the US and their pensions are very low. They will not bankrupt the state, even when the population ages and needs more of both.

[@리주민]

Whereas in a capitalist and democratic country like sweden; education, healthcare, pension is free, and you can take longer holidays than anywhere else. And yes, paid via taxes. All countries have taxes. If a politician is corrupt, we can vote them out.

[@nehcooahnait7827]

Dude, rural healthcare cooperative is funded by the state. Sigh it up lol. I have no idea where the ¥200 come from. The pension money is true. My grandparents get ¥150/month per person. But they are hooked with minimum living standards benefits which is ¥800/month cuz they are 80 yo elder with no source of income except their land contract fee, which is ¥2,000/season, ¥4,000/year (consider them lucky cuz there is big farm contractor that pays generously). I think it depends on local government’s generosity and local economic performance. My city has a real GDP per capita of $7,500+ and it is a former mining city, now resource-exhausted city in economic stagnation. So the local economy is meh. This probably explains the ¥150, since it is partially determined by local price level. Their healthcare covers 95% of the costs (25% comes from the minimum living standard benefits), better than my dad’s (90%), who lives in Shenzhen. The government return them 65% the money if they buy home appliances. I think the reason why pension money is so little is because it is dependent on past tax contribution. Since those welfare system didn’t exist, definitely not at all for rural population during the communist era, there is no past tax contribution to begin with. Especially when farmers are basically considered to be self-employed and paid taxes in form of grain prior 2005, which couldn’t be monetized that easily. S Korea has the same issue ti today. Their elder population is also the victim of their non-existing pension system prior 1980s.

[@nehcooahnait7827]

@@리주민 gee preaching much.

[@nehcooahnait7827]

I have no clue where the ¥70,000 come from either. My cousins from rural area went to a strict private middle school since the 7th grade, and there are too many schools like that that host rural kids to an extend that rural/county public schools are almost empty. Those schools require entrance exams, with two entrance standards: 1st tier can be admitted and pay tuition of ¥1,500/semester excluding miscellaneous, and the 2nd tier pay ¥3,000 tuition fee. The rest is rejected. Private school after all. They will either way have 10K students in the end. Because of the Price Bureau, and Bureau of Education, those schools cannot set the tuition fee too high. This is caused by the disparity of educational resources between the rural and the urban areas. It feels institutionally designed to make cities attractive. Not so sure. Because of Hukou, it is impossible for them to study in urban schools unless they go to big cities’ schools for migrant workers’s children. Some cities don’t discriminate based on Hukou tho. The only explanation I have for that ¥70,000 is in-school corruption. Some with power are willing to put kids’ names on the list with a certain amount of money for their risk-taking. Tho I am a city kid, my mom almost did similar thing just to get me into one of the best middle school in town since Chinese public schools usually adopts principle of proximity. The near school is not almost the best... It is institutionally impossible for that to happen for rural kids because of hukou.

[@TheWelltopFrog]

China is in fact, more capitalist than most of the countries on earth. but the major issue is that China lacks the rule of law. for example, the labour law very clearly states that working hour should be 8 hours day 40 hours week, employers should pay overtime compensation to the employees, etc. but in fact, there’s this meme that’s super popular amongst young people in china - “996”, that means 9am to 9pm, 6 days a week, without being paid extra. That has become a standard for most corporate employees. This effectively makes the Labour Law a joke.

I wouldn’t call it capitalist but rather social corporatist. The government picks which companies dominate the economy and effectively uses them as puppets, which is why they have such terrible worker laws, why would the government put limits on their own tools?
