      Fun fact: The waiting time for organ transplants in China is about an order of magnitude shorter than in the rest of the world. This is purely because of China’s large population and not because of any other reason at all.

        I thought it because China have organ black market. But it is totally false news. Thank you for your clarification

          High quality uyghur organs sourced directly from healthy, if not a bit rebellious, individuals. Might be slightly cursed by the ghost of the original owner though.

          I can’t believe people are willing to put an organ from a person specifically murdered for said organ. I’d rather die than live with that.

      I would kill for the wage increases the average Chinese person has seen over the last decade.

          Average white guy in a Chinese city lives the life.

          The real problem is in some of the poorer rural areas and low-tier cities.

          You wish, it is not easy moving to China, otherwise I would have done it already. T.T

        You start from a smaller baseline increases are easier. The Chinese economy has very serious problems.
