You’re not too wrong.
But despite all of the inexcusable ethnic cleansing shit of the PRC they have drastically raised the standards of living of the poorest.
You’d be hard pressed to find anyone (who isn’t a member of a persecuted minority or political dissident) in conditions as bad as a Brazilian favella in the PRC. Let alone a favellasworth of them.
(And to preempt, bright spots of favella culture such as community centres, art, and people succeding are despite the conditions (even if in response to them), not a sign that they’re “good actually”.)
Not here to discredit the social improvements in China of the past 50 years, but there are still places in the countryside that are comparable to favelas.
But they are disappearing, favelas are not.
You’re absolutely correct.
I’d also add that while they exist, it is also with fewer food and water poverty/access issues compared to favelas since they’re rural rather than urban spaces.
