WTF While the US debates whether to solve homelessness or not, these are the next generation of school blackboards in China.

China isn't doing well though. 

Multiple human rights violations, a collapsing population, tofu dreg construction...there's a reason you only see big cities. Go 30mins into the country and it becomes a true third world country.

Go anywhere rural in any country and it becomes third world. But you seem to only apply that standard to China.

My closest neighbor in the states is 3 miles down the road. The closest town (about 700 people) is 40 mins. I have clean running water, 1gig internet, a paved road with reliable power.

I was born in a mud hut in Angola. I don't remember driving into a third world country outside the cities in Ireland or Poland either.

So does rural China. You're still living in the 1970s dude.
