that China is more capitalist than the United States right now

Exactly lol, this is what I've been saying.

CCP is extremely reluctant to provide any kind of social welfare, in the belief welfare will make its citizens lazy

That's my parent's view on welfare. These views carried over to the US too. Its why they see a headline about "illegal immigrants" to the US and they start blaming welfare and think that "illegal" immigrants are somehow getting welfare and they think its taking away resources from legal immigrants. Its why they think me having depression is "weakness". My mother told me she hates autistic people because she thinks they are "dangerous". Like people with disabilities get would disowned by a lot of parents. If you have any disabilities, you don't get viewd as a person, but a 廢柴 (I'd say it's equivalent to "useless eater"). Its so messed up.
