Lmao, not a piracy problem. Just the Yemenis carrying out legitimate naval interdiction operations and interference from Israel's allies. Mfkers pretending this is a piracy problem like off the coast of Somalia when it's just ships affiliated with Israel being interdicted.

Is it the non-existent genocide of uighurs, the non-existent genocide of Tibet or the crushing of a western color revolt in Hong Kong that got you all libbed up?

Healthcare system over here.

Press the button Xi!

It's expensive. Xi can only hit so many buttons at once. They will get to it long before we do.

The cost argument is a cop out, just look at Cuba.

I can accept that Xi wants to focus on strengthening the CPC's foundations (particularly after the more liberal period) and develop China's productive capacity.

I dunno. At this point I am not ready to say I am more of an expert than the CPC about how to do comunism in China. I assume they had a reason related to material conditions. They don't have unlimited time and resources.

Any marketised and fragmented insurance approach will necessarily be less efficient at delivering good health outcomes than a comparatively centrally planned one.

The reason was going to far looking to the US in the 1980s. The original CPC healthcare model was very different.

There have been some gradual improvements however

In 2017, the comprehensive reform pilot of urban public hospitals was fully carried out, with 93.9 percent of urban public hospitals canceling drug markup, effectively controlling the unreasonable growth of medical expenses in public hospitals. In May 2018, the National Healthcare Security Administration was formally established as an institution directly under The State Council. China’s medical security undertakings entered the stage of development in a more standardized way, with comprehensive reform of public hospitals, canceled drug markups, official drug purchase with volume, DRGS and other new policies
