I am still waiting to see your sources on any of this tbh
- Not sure what you're waiting for given that I've already provided you sources backing everything I said.
  
  Well then it should be easy for you to consolidate them in one comment.
  
  I'm not going to waste more time on you. It's pretty clear you're just going to keep ignoring everything I say and repeating the same thing like a broken record. You don't want to have an honest discussion here.
  
  On the contrary, I am trying to have a conversation. I have attempted to address every premise you've offered with a combination of history, data and personal experience. I don't believe you have offered sources for many of your claim, but in case I missed them, it would be helpful if you provided a summary.
  
  If you are trying to have a conversation then we're clearly talking past each other. My points are as follows.
  We see consistent and steady improvement in the quality of life of people in China. I've provided many sources demonstrating this.
  China has a stable economy that does not see constant crashes the way western economies do.
  The government of China is working in the interest of the public, and has popular support from the vast majority of people who live in China. This is again supported by the numerous resources I've provided.
  The government of China predominantly consists of working class people.
  The economy of China is directed towards the interests of the majority, and all the core economy, such as energy production, is publicly owned.
  The disparity in wealth with the west comes from the west brutally exploiting the global south to enrich western nations. Despite this, the standards of living in the west continue to decline.
  Practically all the improvements in the standard of living have come from China in the past decades, meanwhile the standard of living globally has actually declined.
  I have sourced all these claims in this thread.
