    Nothing you said contradicts anything I wrote, so I’m struggling to understand why you started your comment this way. To say “everything wrong with my post” then address nothing I wrote… I’m not sure you should be quoting literacy at all.

    You’ll find I’m highly critical of both China and the US once we discuss further.

    Lastly, there is no chance in hell China’s literacy reached 97%, not will it as long as rural lifestyle continues with no need for it.

      “That isn’t true because I personally am incredulous about it!”

      Very compelling argument.

      You accused the Chinese of being illiterate and I provided statistical evidence. The paragraph you wrote maligning Chinese literacy rates literally starts off with “does anybody have any statistics”.

      You reject the statistical evidence because you personally can’t believe it. The rest of the world believes it. Nobody gives a fuck about your opinion when you are so wrong, so many times, in such relatively short comment.

      If we can just personally dismiss things we don’t believe in, evidence, statistics, and facts be damned then I don’t believe in you. Are you an actual thinking person with a brain or sinophobic caricature impervious to evidence?

      You asked:

      How many illiterate?

      They answered that is not that many???

      Lastly, there is no chance in hell China’s literacy reached 97%

      Because a bird told you?

        I think their source is much worse, after all they write things like this:

        Capitalism is also a true ideal as long as it’s built on an immovable foundation of human rights paid for by centralized non profit corporations.

        The capitalist subject, so accustomed to being lied to and ripped of by their society, refuses to believe that any socio-economic order can deliver good results for the people in it. This is what passes for “common sense” in capitalist countries: a religious belief that anyone who claims to want to make things better is lying to you.

          The saddest thing is how “enlightened” they feel in believing that there is no alternative, and that feeling further entrenches them in capitalist realism. Anyone who believes otherwise is a sucker, a naïve utopian.
