Those houses were built by state-backed actors to support growing urbanization and create a housing surplus for that urbanization to give the workers more power since they no longer have to deal with aggressively rent-seeking private landlords.
Wait, isn’t that communism?
Not only that, but we’re talking about a country with some of the highest per-capita beef consumption in the world. Beef has an order of magnitude higher impact on emissions as other meats. It’s so fucking inefficient it’s insane.
I think it’s much easier to shift people to more efficient meats than it is to cut meat out entirely.

Imagine giving up the guy that took 15 rounds to pass. Who the fuck do they even have left?
Better tell that to literally every government on the planet, then.
Jailing dissidents is government oppression, but it’s a type of government oppression that happens in every major government, democratic or not. Welcome to the real world.
Why should the Global South care? People are dying there, too. We have a spoiled Western perspective.

Do you know the context behind Xinjiang or the affirmative action that China takes on its minority groups? Have you ever been to Xinjiang?
Have you watched her content lol
You do realize that the CCP isn’t some top-down monolith… Right? If it takes years to crack down on independent journalists, that sounds more like “freedom until you say overstep some line.”
Which, sure, isn’t entirely free, but it’s not even close to as bad as what people suggest.
And the fact that she was able to operate for years without issue, despite being critical of the regime for most of that period?
Oh. Right. We don’t talk about that part. Her existence both contradicts and supports your point.
Do you have any idea what happens in China outside of the limited view presented by journalists who have never stepped in the country?
Many countries included in the Global South are in the northern hemisphere, such as India, China and all of those in the northern half of Africa. Australia and New Zealand, both in the southern hemisphere, are not in the Global South
Time Magazine
It was generally agreed that the Global North would include the United States, Canada, England, nations of the European Union, as well as Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and even some countries in the southern hemisphere: Australia, and New Zealand. The Global South, on the other hand, would include formerly colonized countries in Africa and Latin America, as well as the Middle East, Brazil, India, and parts of Asia.
Gendered Lives: Global Issues
Do you just enjoy being wrong?
Do you even know what the term Global South refers to? Given that you refer to Australia as being part of the Global South, I’m going to assume not.
Don’t talk about things you don’t understand.
Everyone says they have data that disproves it
And nobody’s provided any because they can’t find it
The entire Global South is aligned on this issue.
I guess they don’t matter to you because they’re poor.
Does that version of hell include transit, affordable housing, education, upwards mobility, and healthcare?
Hi, fellow Canadian!
To some degree there’s a need to pick a side, because the alternative is to get stomped on by both (like what’s happening now).
You’ve expressed disapproval without giving a solution. How would you ask the US or China to change and why do you think that would work?
Excess housing supply doesn’t commoditize housing and give working-class people more choice? Hmm…
