You must know that China is a developing country. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China was really poor. Not only was there a huge gap with the West in the manufacturing field, but there was also a huge gap with the West in the economic field. However, after decades of development, China is now not only the center of the global supply chain, but its economic strength is also growing steadily, and the gap with Western developed countries is gradually narrowing.
However, foreigners have discovered a strange phenomenon. In many developing countries, slums can be seen everywhere. Why are there almost no slums in China? What is the reason? First of all, through decades of development, China has continuously improved the life happiness index of its people. At the same time, it has also deployed a large number of industries in various regions to solve the local labor force.
has even solved the problem of settling in for rural people who have been working in cities for a long time, so there are almost no slums in China. Of course, in addition to a series of regulations introduced by the state, the quality of the Chinese people themselves is also one of the key points.
In the eyes of the Chinese, as long as they are willing to work and endure hardship, they will not become poor. To put it bluntly, a Chinese with sound limbs will not be forced by life as long as he works hard. After all, China's industry today is in an era where a hundred flowers are blooming. As long as Chinese people want to find a job, it is impossible to find one. The only difference is the issue of salary.
Although many people complain that they earn less and spend more, and they are "money-suffering" every month, but compared with foreign slums, the life happiness index of Chinese people is definitely higher than that of foreigners. You know, there are about 17.1 million people living in slums in Brazil, accounting for about 8% of the country's total population.
Looking back at China, many years of continuous poverty alleviation work have enabled most countries to become well-off families. Moreover, it is truly possible to have medical treatment for the sick and provide support for the elderly, which is not something that can be compared with slums in foreign countries. After all, people in slums abroad cannot even solve the most basic problems of food and clothing, let alone medical treatment. The reason for this situation is that the local industrialization level is not high enough to provide employment for a large number of people.
More importantly, foreign countries often provide subsidies to the poor, which over time encourages an "evil trend" and makes these poor people mistakenly believe that even if they do not work and have no daily income, the state will distribute relief funds and relief materials on time. , it is impossible to watch the poor starving to death on the streets. Therefore, these poor people do not want to make progress and would rather hide in the slums than seek ways to change the current situation.
Therefore, it can be said that because Chinese people are born with the hard work and quality of life, there are no slums in China. This is not comparable to the existence of poor people in slums at all. To put it bluntly, it is the outstanding concept of hard work of the Chinese people that can enable China to continue to develop and improve its comprehensive national strength in all aspects. This is why, after decades of development, China today is not inferior to Western countries including the United States. Even given time, China will surely reach a point where it can move forward side by side with developed countries.
