        I was told by a person who is a bit more cosmopolitan than me. However, with all the back and forth in the comments, and knowing that China has digital comm restrictions, we’ll never know unless we spend a lot of time there ourselves. One way or another, there is probably propaganda involved.

      I looked into the electricity thing, apparently in 2014/2015 they reached essentially 99% coverage. They all have water but the issue is how clean the water is. Like 70% - 80% is questionable.

      Don’t get me wrong, China definitely has its problems.

        You’re claiming that 80% of the Chinese population lacks access to clean water? You’re gonna need to provide a source on that incredulous claim.

              And yet you can’t be bothered to take 2 seconds? I’m not asserting the percentages as absolute fact chill out.

              The issue with water in China isn’t that people don’t have access to any, it’s that some don’t have access to clean water. And of course they’re working on making it better.

                Except I already know the claim is bullshit… Hence the challenge.

                You’re a propaganda bot.

                  Lol every accusation a confession tankie Mcgee. Another guy posted 3 linked sources you’re ignoring. And let me guess, no matter what I post you’re just going to say it’s a fake source anyway. I’m sorry the great firewall blocks basic Google results for you.
