When you commit suicide there they just call in juche necromancer, resurrect you, give you a poetry book and armed guard yell at you "START WRITING" all the time.

One of those posts where people who know nothing but have opinions they must speak come together to enlighten the poor tankies. Can we at least drop the white saviour mentality this time guys?
Impossible.
China is just bribing people to continue living by providing material improvements to their quality of life. That's cheating 😤

That is a damn awesome result in just 30 years.
In the 90s it was 3 times as much, so the change is incredible.
