    GDP per capita isn’t a measure of standard of living either

    Sure, but it correlates well with it

      Sure, but it correlates well with it

      Only in a sense that western nations that have been traditionally exploiting the Global South have enjoyed an overall higher standard of living as a result.

      Yes, but only since Deng reforms. Before them China was a stagnant country

      That’s completely and utterly false. I can recommend a book on the subject if you genuinely want to learn about the development of China https://redletterspp.com/products/chinas-great-road
